    LAL Celebrates New Video Release

    TORONTO - Local musicians LAL are set to release their first video at the B-Side on July 29th.  The duo, known for their unique approach to urban music, will screen the video and perform live at the club.  LAL invites music lovers to come and take in the sights and sounds of their track “Corners.”

    Shooting a video was an unexpected treat for LAL.  “It sort of dropped in our laps,” vocalist Rosina says.  “When we got together with Rob, we shared a musical vision for ‘Corners.’”  In the video, director Rob Pilichowski tells the story of a typical urban street corner through the eyes of a young woman.  Best known for his work on the opening credits for David Cronenberg’s film Existenz, Rob Pilichowski threw his energies into producing the subtle yet engaging video.

    Vocalist Rosina and producer Murr make up the duo LAL.  Together they combine jazz, soul, hip hop, and south asian grooves to make a unique new sound.  Both are rising stars on the urban music scene – Murr, part of Juno-award-winning hip hop crew Da Grassroots, has worked with Esthero and the  Dream Warriors, while Rosina has collaborated with house producer Abacus. Together they have performed across Canada and the United States.

    LAL will screen the video for the first time at 12:00 a.m. after they perform songs from their forthcoming Public Transit Recordings LP, Corners.  LAL’s live show is a blend of their philosophy, incorporating eastern and western styles of music. Joining Rosina and Murr on stage are Prithi Narayanan on the Veena, and Keith Sterling on the electric guitar. The audience should be prepared for some surprises.

    LAL will showcase their talent and new video at the B-Side, 129 Peter St., above Fez Batik.  Denise Benson of CKLN’s Mental Chatter and Sassa’le of CLKN’s Version Xcursion will host the event as part of the weekly Soular System, along with guest PTR DJs Moonstarr and Logic.  Toronto urban music label Public Transit Recordings is proud to sponsor the event as well.  LAL, along with their label PTR, hopes to draw attention to young Canadian talent in the city.
