    Biography

    Los Angeles-based cosmic country-pop combo Beachwood Sparks were formed in mid-1998 by onetime Strictly Ballroom singer/guitarist Chris Gunst, slide guitarist/keyboardist Dave Scher, ex-Further bassist Brent Rademaker, and Lilys drummer Aaron Sperske. Inspired by the pioneering country-rock efforts of West Coast legends like The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Buffalo Springfield, the group issued acclaimed singles for spotify:search:label%3A%22Bomp%21%22 ("Desert Skies") and spotify:search:label%3A%22Sub+Pop%22 ("Midsummer Daydream") prior to the spring 2000 release of their superb self-titled debut LP. Their sprawling psyche sophomore effort, Once We Were Trees, followed in fall 2001. A year later, the band released the EP Make the Cowboy Robots Cry with Rough Trade Records. The band took some time off. Beachwood Sparks reunited for the full-length effort The Tarnished Gold. The band is currently readying the 20th Anniversary Vinyl edition and new studio album for Curation Records.
