Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez
Wham City's Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez has signed with the DC-based Carpark Records. Debut solo album Why Is Bear Billowing? set for release Aug. 19.
A couple years ago he was playing stripped down electro-pop (60s French chanteuse style) in the exceptional yet short-lived band Cache Cache. Lesser's wide-ranging musical projects also include playing guitar in the drone-tinged country-folk group The Tall Grass as well as an electronic side project called The Ruby Stallion Ensemble.
Lesser is also an accomplished visual artist whose work can be seen at www.thinplastic.com
Lesser will tour North America with Jana Hunter in Aug. and Sept. and later in the fall will take part in a Wham City Round Robin tour.
