"He's been rehearsing a lot at his Los Angeles pad with his band of longtime pals, who will back him on the road show that includes a Bay Area stop. Yet, on this particular day, McPoland is just putting the finishing touches on a keyboard shelf that he's building for the tour. You usually buy them off the internet, says the indie-pop singer-songwriter, who was born in Vermont and raised in Texas. But I made it last week. I'm finishing that today. That's my goal."
"That is underscored on the recently released sophomore full-length Big Lucky, which found this former Internet sensation who first came to fame with the viral hit Romeo & Juliet unplugging from social media and web life in general to focus on recording music in a more old-school way. He bought a flip-phone (no joke) and ditched Spotify, in favor of an iPod stacked with Beatles tunes,"
Peter McPoland is rehearsing with his longtime band and personally building gear for an upcoming tour. He embraced hands-on, old-school approaches while recording his sophomore album, Big Lucky, opting for reel-to-reel tape instead of computer-based tracks. McPoland unplugged from social media, bought a flip-phone, ditched Spotify and relied on an iPod filled with Beatles songs during the process. The resulting album contains vibrant indie-pop songs. McPoland rose to fame with the viral Romeo & Juliet and will perform Nov. 8 at August Hall in San Francisco, with tickets starting at $23.
