The indie rock band, La Sera, comes to the 9:30 Club on May 12th, opening for the heavy rockers, Titus Andronicus. This will be a late show after the Parquet Courts performance.

La Sera, currently based in Los Angeles, is Katy Goodman (lead vocals) and husband, Todd Wisenbaker. Katy (formerly of Vivian Girls) formed the band in 2010.

They are touring for their fourth studio album, Music for Listening Music To, which was released in March of this year and produced by Ryan Adams.

Songs like “I Need an Angel” and “High Notes” are upbeat little ditties with a back beat that gets your head nodding along. “High Notes” even goes twangy and Katy claims that she “can’t sing it for you just the way you want me to” as she says goodbye. Katy’s vocals are often subdued, and almost reminds me of a quieter Neko Case.
