Currently on hiatus, The Movies have been a mainstay in the Los Angeles music scene for some time.   The outstanding LA music blog Web In Front put the band's last record, Based On A True Story, in its top four local albums of 2008.  In fact, it would be hard for someone outside of LA to understand how legendary this band is amongst those in the know in the Silverlake area.  The fact that they did not achieve the fame of another local band like Silversun Pickups confounds many.

At the center of the band is singer/songwriter Timothy James, famous for stage antics and being a general loose canon.  The man can write some killer songs.  "MIssed Opportunities", from their latest record, is an instant classic that will/should find life on several film and TV soundtracks in the future. 

Hopefully the band's current hiatus is not permanent, but if it is at least we were privileged enough to capture the band live on video in our February session.  Enjoy!
