Allah-Las

Three of the four members of the Los Angeles-based band, Allah-Las, worked at Amoeba prior to the group’s musical collaboration. (Amoeba is an iconic vinyl store nestled between the Entertainment and Media districts of downtown LA.) Spencer Dunham and Pedrum Siadatian gathered solo, multi-instrumental songs and placed them into a collection of home recordings. Soon after, they recruited Matthew Correia as drummer and Miles Michaud as an additional guitarist and also as the group’s lead vocalist. None of the band members had any formal training in music. In 2008, the group performed their first show in LA. In 2011 with the help of producer Nick Waterhouse, under the label Pres, they released their first seven inch recording -“Catamaran”/”Long Journey”. The group released their second single in 2012 under Innovative Leisure -“Tell Me (What’s on your Mind)”/”Sacred Sands”. They continued to create music under Innovative Leisure for the next two years. In 2012, they released their self-titled debut album “Allah-Las” which included twelve tracks. In 2014, the group announced that they would release “Worship the Sun” which also included twelve tracks.
