<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Whether they’re conjuring dreamy pop harmonies or turning out soulful beats, Los Angeles based
<b>SO & SO</b> is not your average troupe of ordinary indie pop musicians. With their debut self titled
<b>EP dropping July 26<sup>th</sup></b> and full-length album <b>ASAP</b><i> </i>
slated for release in <b>Fall 2011</b>, SO & SO transcend traditional pop and undulate gracefully from trip-hop to rock and indie pop to electro-fusion. With the incredible award winning multi-platinum producer
<b>Rob Wells</b> (Mika, Cyndi Lauper, Stereos) on board, the California quintet comes together to exude propulsive energy that’s innovative, fresh and sonically all-their-own on this perfect introduction to what SO & SO are all about.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">SO & SO came to fruition when<span style="color:#0F3963"> s</span>inger
<b>Amie Miriello</b><span style="color:#0F3963"> (</span><i>Dirtie Blonde</i>) and guitarist
<b>Jay “Raisin” Dmuchowski</b> <span style="color:#0F3963">(</span><i>Dirtie Blonde</i>) joined forces with producer
<b>Rob Wells </b>at ATV in<span style="color:#0F3963"> </span>Canada to compose a songwriting trio and sell the tracks to other artists. However, after the first few tracks were cut they realized that they had stumbled onto something very special, a novel sound
Amie describes as “sexy indie pop with real soul,”<span style="color:#0F3963"> </span>
a sound they wanted to take on themselves. That batch of tunes would eventually become the inspiration for their upcoming full length, <i>ASAP (fall),</i> but SO & SO weren’t quite complete just yet…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">While playing a gig at LA’s Molly Malone’s, Amie stumbled upon
<b>Brandon Rogers</b> a top 12 finalist on Season 6 of American Idol,<b> </b>and was immediately smitten by his effortless vocals. While Brandon was wholly focused on his solo career, he quickly recognized their special and electric vocal chemistry, accepting
Amie’s offer to join SO & SO without hesitation. Drummer <b>Adam Hanson</b> and bassist
<b>Bana Haffar</b> round out the band and fully connect the dots between pop palatability and dirty soul, a unique, one-of-a-kind dynamic heard throughout
<i>ASAP </i>as well as SO & SO’s self-titled EP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Their brilliant upcoming EP showcases a whirlwind of emotion juxtaposed with poignant poetic rumination. On “<i>Heart Beats Slow</i>” acoustic
guitars growl into a powerful chorus, while “<i>What’s the Use?</i>” meanders from tripped-out electronic textures to a hand-clap fueled hook. At the heart of the music lies Amie’s entrancing croon, flares of Jay’s evocative guitar, and a dual backdrop of
undeniable soul by drummer Adam and bassist Bana. Like icing on a cake, Brandon provides a decadent layer of rich, organic vocals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
