Los Angeles four piece French Vanilla have exhibited a growing fan base, due in part to their output of frenetic post-punk jams- although limited- but what exists now on the interwebs is enough to sate your curiosity and inspire you to see them live. Reminiscent of '80s groups like The Slits, The Raincoats, and Talking Heads, their style of music doesn't skimp out on the bass and throws in a wild saxophone that rages outrageously in your eardrums. Lead singer Sally Spitz fully exhibits the vocals and swag to awaken your inner dancing demon to its full capacity. You certainly don't want to miss their set tonight at Can U Not Vintage in Santa Ana; they'll play alongside other great bands Palm Reader, Kids, Ghost Noise, and Melted. See you there!
