The Redlight District

The Redlight District is a psych-rock outfit from Santa Cruz, California. The band is comprised of Stephan Sams (vocals), Nano (lead guitar), Dan Leitner (keyboards), and Tyler Walicek (drums). Their frenetic live performances blend elements of delta blues, jazz rock, and soul, weaving meticulously embellished, percussive guitar lines with dynamically intricate rock-organ. These provide a backdrop for Sams' baritone croon, which moves from tranquil melody into manic wails. Their first single, "In the Street" is slated for release in November 2012.
