Artist Biography

The Locals are an alt-pop, indie-rock trio from Chicago. Fronted by singer and songwriter Yvonne Doll, co-founded by bass player Christy Nunes, The Locals have been a part of the Chicago music scene for the last decade. They have played extensively in the Midwest, and recently completed their first UK tour (2011) .

 

2013 brought a new release for the band and revamped line up with Tommy Oerding joining on drums. Working once again with up and coming producer, Steven Gillis at Transient Sound, "Stereostatic Funicular"(their sixth release 9.3.2013) is an exciting evolution from their breakthrough album "SALT" 2010.

 

Their new single "The Willful Suspension of Disbelief" is a power-house, alt-pop, indie rock tune with moody verses that delivers a big payoff with epic, catchy choruses.
