Minibar

This British quartet relocated to Los Angeles in 1999 in search of fame and fortune in the guise of a record deal, and before you could say "Gram Parsons," Minibar were signed. The band's airy roots rock is adorned with pedal-steel garnishes and vivid imagery, which add up to a cracked and weathered sound with just a touch of gloss. Just like L.A. Unlike, L.A., Minibar have heart.
