If I told you that The Kissing Cousins are arguably the best band in Echo Park right now, you could be forgiven for sitting there, in your Norman, Oklahoma bedroom, or wherever, and thinking, well that don’t sound like such a big deal to me. Except… here comes some relentless neighborhood boosting, in the past few years in this chronically expensive city, Echo Park has gained a reputation as the last affordable livable area of Los Angeles and as a consequence has been a magnet for all sorts of amazing writers, film makers, musicians and artists… We have two of this towns best music venues, the Echo and the Echoplex, and across the street at Taix’s lounge there is the most wide open and diverse booking policy, with no cover charge ever. I’m not kidding, we just had a month of Rickie Lee Jones and even while she was here, Kissing Cousins were still the best band in Echo Park.
The Kissing Cousins are, Heather on guitar and vocals, Beth, drums, Rhea on bass and Kara manages the flute and keyboards. For their live shows they often include Alexis on the glockenspiel and Paula on violin. And recently Ben has been helping out on bass guitar too. - Outsideleft
