Biography

In a life spent searching for the one multi-faceted, atypically melodic dirt road that travels across many musical landscapes, I have found quite possibly the one band that not only has traveled this road, but also rocked it’s many stories to the slack-jawed hitchhikers along the way. Gospel blues? Classic stomp rock? Indie? Folk? They all have hopped along for the ride on a road this startlingly authentic band has christened “laura”. Hailing from the Phoenix area, the originally acoustic-clad duo of danny godbold (keys, guitar, vocals) and james mulhern (guitar, percussion, vocals) wrote stories that wandered through gardens of lovely melodies, multi-part vocal harmonies and raw, gut-bucket truthness, which undoubtedly stood out and was praised. Claiming “what laura says thinks and feels” as the ultimate word, the boys decided to lay down her tales to tape.

With a spoon, comes a fork, and in the year of the knife, two thousand and six, the duo met, at a crossroads, a rhythm section wrought with tales of sunny nights and rainy mornings: greg muller (drums), mitch freedom (bass, vocals) and jacob woolsey (percussion, various weirdness). Now an outstandingly solid five-piece, the stories were developed, and early the next year a full-length album was born.

Immediately and to great precedence, many local musicians and fans hailed the collection of storied songs as the album of the year (it was released in February, mind you) and just as quickly, the boys’ incredible live show has garnered some serious buzz throughout Arizona and across the southwest.

    Saw these guys open for Annuals and the Most Serene Republic on their kickoff show in Pontiac, and they were kickass, to say the least. Their current album doesn't sound much like the show they put on, though, so my friends and I are awaiting the new one.

    Amazing tunes, great live show. Saw them in Flagstaff last month and they were simply fantastic. Will spread the word here in Amsterdam.

    Thanks for playing Wells Fargo Arena during ASU orientation! It was pretty much the best activity they organized.

    Seriously, Vtmsp510? Take a damn, joke.

    First of all, the description for this band sucks, and could basically be for every band on here. The one for What Laura Says, Thinks, and Feels needs to get on here like ASAP. Secondly, I agree with ryan below, they are fucking awesome live, doing everything from their pop-punk numbers to country doo-wop songs to The Band-style jams with one guy playing a tableset full of metal/plastic pitchers and cool percussion instruments. In other words, fucking sweet.
