Bio
Joseph White: Vocals / Bass
Gabriel Fernandez: Drums
Andrew Lagomarsino: Guitar
Facts on File is a Los Angeles-based three-piece indie rock outfit. The trio crafts songs that modernize 60's garage-rock and 1970s New York punk, putting a spin on pop structure that draws comparisons to Talking Heads, Gang of Four, and The Cars, with hints of Suicide and a synth-free Devo.
In 2005 Joseph White (vocals, bass), member of synth-pop band The Somnambulants, wrote and set aside songs for an indie rock project. During his quest for collaborators, he met fellow San Franciscan Molly Durkin (drums) and the two fleshed out what became Facts on Files first tracks. In 2009, Joseph White moved from the SF Bay Area to L.A., re-building Facts on File and turning it into a Los Angeles local scene staple, performing at numerous local venues and festivals including SXSW (Austin), Mission Creek Music Festival (San Francisco), and Neon Reverb Festival (Las Vegas). In 2010, Facts on File self-released its debut EP, Keep It Together.
Facts on File's self-titled debut LP, "Facts on File," was released in April, 2012.
"Facts on File sound like a project David Byrne might've started in his garage in 1976, not such a bad thing for fans of angst-y post-punk or avant-garde pop... In sum, the album could be the soundtrack to this generation's uncertain future - or at least the dance party we throw to celebrate the present." - Buzz Bands LA, March 8, 2012
- gritty and carefree, but with a hint of class. The three-piece creates infectious '60s-inspired pop tunes that burrow deep in your eardrums and invoke dance parties wherever they are played." - Deli Magazine, March 9, 2012
"Driven by a rolling baseball park-sounding organ and a healthy amount of post-punk angularity, "Keep it Together" sounds like a slick update of the stuff Elvis Costello and the Attractions were doing in the late Seventies." -FMLY Blog
