Parade Of Lights

The Los Angeles based alt-electro band, Parade of Lights, caught the attention of label, Astralwerks Records with their new hit single, "We're The Kids," released in June. It's a fist-pumping anthem with undeniable appeal. The song quickly gained traction online and was added to SiriusXM's Alt Nation channel, where it's spent four weeks on the Alt 18 Countdown.

"We're The Kids is a song about being young, and the carefree feeling that comes along with it," lead singer, Ryan Daly explains. "Even if you aren't a kid anymore, you can still feel like you did when you were 15. You just have to let yourself."

Comprised of Ryan Daly, Anthony Improgo, Michelle Ashley and Randy Schulte, the group combines equal parts rock, electro, and shoegaze to create a unique blend of 80's influenced pop drawing on inspiration from artists like U2, Depeche Mode, M83, and even Madonna.

Shortly after meeting in LA in 2006, they formed the band Polus. They released a four-song EP entitled Wish and garnered a significant buzz locally, however Polus went on hiatus due to considerable demand for both Daly and Improgo as touring musicians. Even with their rigorous touring schedules, the two managed to keep their friendship intact and exchanged song ideas via email until 2010 when they decided to officially reunite as Parade of Lights. They spent that year and 2011 releasing new music and playing shows in Southern California, Utah and Nevada, opening for artists like Imagine Dragons, Marcy Playground, Light FM, Rooney, Stamps, and Ringside among others. In the fall of 2012, POL self-released their EP Born to Live, Born to Love, which introduced fans to their newly honed electronic shoegaze anthem rock sound. Their forthcoming EP, Golden, lands on February 25th, 2014 via Astralwerks/Caroline.

Recent music film and TV placements have gained the band considerable attention from music and TV insiders, not to mention a legitimate core group of dedicated fans. The exposure along with Parade Of Light's hook-laden songs and entertaining live show, led to a publishing deal in December 2011 with Imagem Music.
