Lake Street Dive is refreshing phenomenon. This American quartet has played together for about 10 years, in Boston. But the band members hail from all over The States: Iowa, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, the fantastic singer Rachael Price is from Nashville, Tennessee. They cheerfully play music any which way. But are always intense and amazing live!

An internet breakthrough came with that impressive 'sidewalk cover' of 'I Want You Back' (from the Jacksons, that's right, see: that wonderfully honest clip.)

Have now completed their new CD 'Bad Self Portraits', here via V2, and let's hear them on that: '...a microcosm of Lake Street Dive’s evolution of the band from “a weird alt-country jazz group to a pop-soul juggernaut, that turns ‘60s influences like Brill Building girl groups (“Stop Your Crying”), British Invasion rock (“Bobby Tanqueray”), horn-driven Stax R&B (“You Go Down Smooth”), Motown soul (“Use Me Up”) and even The Band-like gospel blues (“What About Me”).'

After first a visit to a 'small' Paradiso in Amsterdam and Divan Du Monde in Paris, it's now high time for an ABClub. Shall we dive into a party!?
