Pride of Kenya

About Me



Pride of Kenya is based in Los Angeles, specifically Highland Park, 90042. Our music ranges dynamically from shoegaze to melodic pop, wall-of-sound to ambient textural landscapes. We have released our EP "Nothing to Write Home About" and will begin to record an Album over the summer of 2009. We are looking to play shows locally, as well as on the west coast (Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle) in the coming months.

We'll go where the music-lovers reside, so don't hesitate to contact us about playing your small village or abode.

Review on LA2DAY, July 08

"...Pride of Kenya takes up the shoegaze scene with a sparser, more concerted challenge to fellow L.A. locals Silversun Pickups." (Evil Monito)
