Los Angeles dreamgazers The Bulls are violinist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Bulbrook (The Airborne Toxic Event/Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) and guitarist Marc Sallis (The Duke Spirit). They discovered their mutual love for 80's and 90's new wave and shoegaze during a chance meeting in the Mojave Desert. The band has released two EPs: Small Problems and Prudence, which includes a string-drenched cover of “Alright” by Supergrass. They have been Artists-in-Residence on Alt 98.7, headlined a residency at the storied venue, The Satellite, that was featured in The Los Angeles Times , and have opened shows at the El Rey, Regent, and Troubadour. They recently headlined the first “Play Like A Girl” showcase at the Echo, which was sold-out. “Small Problems,” the title track from the band’s 2015 EP, has been played on KROQ’s LOCALS ONLY and surpassed 100,000 streams on Spotify. In addition, KCRW picked “Prudence,” from the same EP, as a “Top Tune.” “A beguiling hybrid of dream pop and shoegaze [that] warms the heart and shakes the bones…” – Consequence of Sound “Bulbrook is best known as the violist who stitches together melodies with The Airborne Toxic Event, and she also has toured with Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, but she really comes into her own as a bandleader with The Bulls. Wrapped up in Sallis’ low-key guitar shimmers, Bulbrook intones solemnly beautiful dream-pop chansons, such as the slowly unwinding spell ‘Come Unwound.’” – LA Weekly “Dolores O’Riordan on Xanax.” – We Forget Who Said This But We Like It
