Biography
Taking cues from ESG, The Slits, Delta 5, and 99 Records, Los Angeles' WEAVE! picked up the torch where their riot grrl post funk/punk foremothers left off and transformed into something much more than homage with their reputation of colorfully chaotic, yet often spellbinding live performances, channeling dub, afro-pop, and a heavy DIY punk aesthetic.
Formed in 2007 by Ivory Lee Carlson (Softness) and Nicole Turley (Swahili Blonde) WEAVE! quickly expanded into a 4-piece quickly becoming one of LA's favorite live acts, with members of Bubonic Plague and the Centimeters rounding out the groups sound. The band released their first s/t EP in 2008 on Pacific Reasons (now on Neurotic Yell) to much acclaim. After a European tour and several line-up changes, WEAVE! took a brief hiatus to focus on their other projects. But the band has reemerged with a new EP of propulsive dubby-post-punk, New Funk Romance.
