Whoops! We performed a magic trick and vanished!

Folks!

We vanished for a while though if you have followed us on the Book Of Faces, Instragramaphone or the Twitterland, it will be apparent that we have been BIZ-Wh-I!

We had a few re-releases, added merchandise (shirts & buttons) with a new logo, had performances such as the recent Clockwork Alchemy in San Jose with our all new video show and further alterations for our evolving RLD Soundsystem, the stripped-down version of our band.

Over the next few months, expect an onslaught of releases to appear on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, Google Music and more!

This July, we will perform at Trapeze, in Los Angeles, perfectly timed for our 28th of July and 2nd of August birthdays. It will be a grand time and we will have a full brass band joining us on stage with some very special surprise guests along with The Gentlemen Callers Of Los Angeles.

If you would like to help spread the sound of RLD, please shoot us a line!

See some of our live visuals below.

Best Wishes!

Ahoy!

Hello Friends!

It has been a long time. It has been a busy time. So much so that our site has been neglected. 

We have had some performances since our last update including two wonderful shows in San Francisco at Electric Swingset and Bootie SF (DNA Lounge).





This week, we will release our newest song, SOLID, into the wild, available as a free download from Tuesday the 1st until it launches on other stores on the 8th.

Remixes for this song will follow. If you would like to take a swing on a mix, send us a note on the contact page.

Our own remix of our song Come On Up was re-released world wide recently and we have a video launching soon to promote this.

--->Grab this on Amazon or iTunes<---

RLD Soundsystem will perform at Clockwork Alchemy this May in San Jose, CA. This is a weekend festival (27th-30th) where such entertainers as Post-Modern Jukebox have performed. We share the bill with Lee Presson and the Nails.

As always, follow us on facebook and twitter for the latest tidbits and connect with us as we have quite a few tricks up our sleeves in preparation for 2016!
