Live Review: La Luz @ Hope and Ruin, Brighton
Coming all the way from Seattle via Los Angeles, and seemingly the late 50s/early 60s, La Luz bring their surf noir sounds to Brightonâs Hope and Ruin. Midway through their European jaunt, this last UK date finds the band support in the guise of Will Sprott.

Weird, abstract and all too compelling surf-noir sounds from La Luz.
Coming all the way from Seattle via Los Angeles, and seemingly the late 50s/early 60s, La Luz bring their surf noir sounds to Brighton’s Hope and Ruin. Midway through their European jaunt that’s already seen the band lose their equipment, this last UK date finds the band support in the guise of Will Sprott, accompanied respectfully by the rhythm section from the headliners. Sprott, a psychedelic guitar-wielding songsmith from LA making his UK debut, has a look of Sonny Bono and a voice of Dylan. A rare being who is likely on the near extinction list, plays his hippy drippy cheery psychedelic bouncy numbers to the packed room, with a relaxed and charming self-confidence and integrity.
