[su_dropcap style=”simple”]L[/su_dropcap]os Angeles indie band Gun Outfit recently played at the Botanique in Brussels to support their fourth album “Dream All Over” available now on Paradise of Bachelors. We had the chance to meet them to discuss a bit about their band, how they are evolving and to capture amazing moments from their live session. Watch the video now!

As the band explains, the formation has changed since their beginning with “Dim Light” in 2009. From a hardcore background to their current singular Western indie sound, the band is still following the path of an identity quest.

Gun Outfit‘s “Dream All Over” has the blue-sky sensibility of a soul-searching road trip – PITCHFORK

You can follow the band on SoundCloud and Facebook.

Grand Blanc consider their music as :

[su_quote]”both masculine and feminine, garage and digital. A duality that you can find in their music and their lyrics and that creates a detachment and an exalted romanticism”[/su_quote]
