Almost Monday official bio:
Almost Monday channel a musical alchemy befitting their Southern California roots. After countless garage jams, gigs in the back of a surf shop, and innumerable hours writing together, the San Diego trio—Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Luke Fabry (bass), and Cole Clisby (guitar)—bottle California sunshine in their funky basslines, ecstatic choruses, and danceable grooves. It turns out the world needed some Cali rays during the pandemic as the band managed to emerge in 2020 with an unprecedented 30 million overall streams, uplifting audiences everywhere in the process.
Lifelong friends, Dawson and Luke grew up together. After a chance encounter surfing, Dawson and Cole also connected. Cole had already developed a similar passion for music by playing guitar and attending numerous Blink-182 and Foo Fighters concerts over the years. Through a connected family friend, he got the chance to experience the backstage world and see the inner workings of the business firsthand, only galvanizing his passion further. Together, the boys rallied around music for fun as they organically developed an irreplaceable chemistry.
During college, they formally launched Almost Monday. Inspired by everyone from David Bowie and Prince to Justice and Gorillaz, they cultivated a signature style and built a following with a series of D.I.Y. gigs. As fans of producer Mark Needham (Killers, Fleetwood Mac), they sent him a cold email and got a response. He emerged an early champion and de facto mentor.
Heading East to Brooklyn, they laid the groundwork for what would become their 2020 debut EP, Don’t Say You’re Ordinary. Throughout the year, the EP ignited a string of buzzing anthems, beginning with the shimmying and soaring chants of “Parking Lot View” and nostalgic whistling and keyboard gloss of “Come On Come On.” They opened for multiplatinum indie pop heavyweights AJR and received play on Apple Music’s Beats 1 from none other than tastemaker Zane Lowe.
Almost Monday only accelerated this momentum in 2021 by teasing out their sophomore EP Til The End Of Time. Flaunt praised the “feel-good, funky and danceable grooves” of its first single, “Live Forever,” and went on to christen them “ones to look out for in 2021.” Zane Lowe personally world-premiered the tune on Apple Music’s Beats 1 and Earmilk described it as “a fun, upbeat sing-along track that enlists a festival-ready chorus sure to rock stages when live touring returns.” Alternative Press touted it and included them among “40 New Artists You Need To Hear in February,” and GQ Australia predicted them to be one of “21 Breakout Musicians to Know in 2021.”
This year the band will continue their festival run at Summerfest, Bonnaroo, BottleRock and Firefly. With the release of their new single “Cool Enough,” Almost Monday only accelerate their momentum and emerge as the consummate purveyors of future-facing California pop.
