The Active Set

Brit moves to U.S. Meets L.A. Anglophile. Music begins. Nice guy answers want ad. Eventually cuts hair. Drummer leaves for too long. New drummer saves the day, comes to Austin. Morale is high. Band is good. With a healthy nod to '80s post-punk and new wave, the Active Set offer a high-energy dose of indie, intelligent and upbeat. They love quirky, driven melodies with smart hooks. Then they like to change their minds, and change it up. Welcome to Los Angeles, a place for movers and shakers. It's a place to really get things started.

If you don't live here yet, you will.
