With only a few shows under their belt, The Band In Heaven are here to stay. The two-piece shoegaze/dream-pop band from West Palm Beach, Florida consists of percussionist/vocalist Lauren Dwyer and partner in crime guitar/vocal/organist Ates Isildak. The duo played in Strangers Family Band for a few years but departed March of this year to start something new. They have been best friends for years and desired a musical journey that was personal together. Their need was to experiment with as much noise as possible while involving a very minimal set-up. They were driven by their love for The Velvet Underground and Spacemen 3 hence keeping songs to two and three chords at most. They layer their songs with fuzzed out texture until they are nearly unintelligible. They will soon have two cassette singles available for purchase via their website  as well as an E.P. which will have a late July or early August release. You can find downloads (which includes a Cranberries cover) and links at the bottom of this post.
