"The Corner Laughers are a Californian band who come across like a West Coast Belle and Sebastian. Their indie pop is sassy and smart, intelligent and intricate, twee with bite." -- Paul Lester, The Guardian UK

Snuggly, sassy, spacey pop music. Female vocals, heavenly boy-girl harmonies, sparkly ukulele, jangly guitar and a rhythm section of the gods.

The  band  is  led  by  singer/uke player  Karla  Kane,  with  bassist  Khoi  Huynh,  drummer  Charlie  Crabtree,  and  guitarist  KC  Bowman.  Their  sound  defies  pigeonholes  but  has  been  compared  to  Kirsty  MacColl,  XTC,  Belle  and Sebastian,  and  Allo  Darlin’. With  three  full  length  releases under  their  belt,  called  a  “nigh-­‐on-­‐perfect  fusion  of  bubblegum -­‐sweet  tunefulness  and  clever,  subtly  barbed  lyrics”  (Icon  Magazine)  and  “simply  wonderful”  (PopMatters),  The  Corner  Laughers  have  received  international  radio airplay  and  reviews;  had  several songs  in  national  retail  campaigns;  toured  the  UK/Europe;  and  performed  with  artists  including  Mike  Viola,  Three  Minute  Tease,  Adam  Schlesinger  (Fountains  of  Wayne),  and Martin  Newell.
