The Limousines & Mona with Dresses
The Independent — San Francisco
November 27, 2013
The Limousines formed in 2007, and shortly thereafter the multi-faceted duo of instrumentalist/producer Giovanni Giusti and singer/songwriter Eric Victorino catapulted to local fame through Bay Area radio airplay from their critically acclaimed Scrapbook EP. Signing to and releasing their debut album Get Sharp on Dangerbird records in 2010, the band gained international attention with singles “Very Busy People” and “Internet Killed the Video Star.” Featured as an artist on MTV’s Push Week and touring as an opener for The Sounds and Neon Trees brought the Bay Area locals unique brand of dance rock to audiences on a global scale. On tour currently promoting the release of their entirely Kickstarter funded, second full length album Hush, the boys return home for the holidays this week to rock the intimate local venue.

Nashville rock foursome Mona had an equally rapid rise to fame when after simply two years of playing together, they were signed to Island and Mercury Records after nailing an online introduction to Nude Records founder and band manager Saul Galpern in 2010. That November, the band appeared on the BBC’s Later…with Jules Holland and we’re nominated for an MTV Music Award. In 2011 Mona released their self-titled debut in Europe, spending most of the following year playing large scale festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Splendor in the Grass and more gaining traction overseas. They also headlined their own tour that summer, culminating in a sold out show in London’s O2 Arena. They brought their debut album to the states in 2012, performing on nationally syndicated late night talk shows and supporting Noel Galagher’s High Flying Birds side project. Nick Brown, Vince Gard, Zach Lindsey and Jordan Young are currently on tour promoting their second full length, Torches and Pitchforks as they finalize their North American Tour Wednesday at the Independent.
