When the current lineup of Laughing Colors (who now go by their fan denoted ‘LC’),
came together in the Baltimore/Washington DC area, the rock quartet said they
just wanted to make their music their life. Now, after selling over 50,000+
CDs, 15,000 T-shirts, and playing 150+ shows per year, the band is looking
forward
to their upcoming release.
On the forthcoming CD, The Blink of An Ideal World, LC worked with
acclaimed producer Anthony J. Resta (Collective Soul, Megadeth, Duran Duran)
and Baltimore’s
favorite Steve Wright. LC’s emotive intensity is undeniable on these 8
songs (plus a bonus track), which go deeper into the psyche of the band and their
sound than ever before. The band says they were more concerned with ‘exploring
emotions and sound’ than with looking for that elusive ‘magic airplay
formula’. Yet, LC’s signature dynamic, colossal rock sound is highlighted
by evocative, relatable lyrics and hooky melodies. Much inspiration for this
recording came while the band was in Greenland performing for the US troops last
year. In the sub-zero Arctic that was dark 24 hours a day, LC was affected not
only by the land’s beauty but by the men and women they met who serve
our country. They imagine what an ideal world is like, even for the blink of
an eye.
In the Mid-Atlantic, LC’s songs and pure rock live performance have contributed
to their reputation as one of the region’s most popular bands. Any fan
will fervently tell you that you must experience LC live to get the full impact
of their music. The electrically charged crowd is an integral part of the show,
participating throughout and responding enthusiastically to charismatic, evocative
front-man Dave Tieff, the tasteful guitar signatures of Corey Hall on guitar,
and the pounding, fierce rhythm of Will Dorsey Jr. on drums and Dan Welsh on
bass.
Their trip to make playing music their lives has brought many highlights, including
playing events such as the legendary WHFStival, DC101 Chili Cookoff, Raven Stadium,
and the Warped Tour. LC has performed with bands including Good Charlotte, Rage
Against The Machine, LIVE, Eve 6, etc. They have received airplay on over 41
stations, and been featured in publications including Time, Entertainment Weekly,
and more.
LC will be touring this Spring in support of the EP.
