Red Light District is a Los Angeles based band with one foot in the future and one in a dark, smokey jazz-age cabaret. Songs are written, performed and recorded by Juliette Angeli & Shok and performed live as an eight-piece band.
RLD Soundsystem is the stripped-down version of the 8-Piece band. A Saxophonist, Clarinetist, Juliette on vocals and instead of Shok on drums, he conducts musical sorcery from electronic gadgets.
