Music – Los Angeles
Originally from San Francisco, LA native Ken Franklin is not only the lead singer and guitarist of Dutch Party, but also the producer behind the seamless blend of styles incorporated into the rising band’s sound.
Franklin has developed a unique sound suited for the analog-versus-digital generation, citing key influences from David Bowie, Beck, The Beatles and The Tallest Man On Earth, as well as M83 and Emil and Friends.
In 2014, Franklin began work on a debut LP. Since that time, the band has brought former Hot Hot Heat guitarist, Luke Paquin, finished a full album, and are gearing-up to make Dutch Party a groundbreaking band to watch out for this year.
With an EP recently released and their full- length album to be released later in 2015, Dutch Party is pleased to share their music, premiered respectively by Billboard and Pigeons and Planes, with you.
