Local Natives

We're only playing a handful of festivals this year & wildly, this is our first performance of 2026 with our old friends Wild Nothing.

June 20. Asheville, North Carolina. Forestry Camp. Tickets on sale now.

We are leaving the Wasserman agency amid the surfaced allegations against the company’s CEO.

We have been with our amazing booking agent our entire career, and if you’ve ever seen us play live, she and her team are the ones to thank for helping build our touring career alongside us.

They are just one of the many teams whose jobs and lives are upended, and we don’t want to be part of an agency with him at the helm.

Nik & Ryan & Dave from Darkside & Griffin from Dawes & Spencer Zahn just released Chewing Quintet (Live in Los Angeles) EP!

Here's Nik:
"Last year on my birthday, I performed my debut Chewing concert at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles, Calif. The second half of said debut concert was an improv, free jam; the band made up of some of my favorite artists that I’m grateful to call friends. The music written on the spot & the concert recorded. After some careful editing, mixing and curating, our debut EP is out now. It lives somewhere between ambient jazz & psych. Hope you enjoy the ride."
