So Many Wizards, a dynamic four piece from Los Angeles,
has been causing a stir with furious live performances and a sound that
Aquarium Drunkard describes as an "enigmatic blend of pop, rock,
ballads, and zany nuggets" that come together to form "a cohesive
whole."
The band started as the solo project of Nima Kazerouni,
who crafted the first So Many Wizards songs to cope with his anxiety after a
childhood that began with an escape from war-torn Iran and took him through
Europe, South America, and a month in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica before
landing him in LA.
Kazerouni found a community of musicians at famed
underground venues like the Smell and Pehrspace and recruited a band of scene
veterans including Erik Felix, Geoff Geis, and Frank Maston. As a four-piece,
the band has become a centerpiece of LA's vibrant DIY scene, recently
representing the "new class" at the Smell's sold out 14th
Anniversary show with Best Coast and Abe Vigoda.
The band is playing Make Music Pasadena on June 16 with Grimes
and Cults and a show with Gardens & Villa at the Troubadour on June
29.
So Many Wizards debut LP "Warm Nothing" drops
August 14th on JAXART Records and will be distributed through
French Kiss Label Group.
