LA Band of the Month ~ Fool’s Gold

Fool's Gold is from Los Angeles by way of Nigeria circa 1978. They are currently one of the most popular groups in France, where the media obsessively documents their every move (see video below), making life hell for the band members who prefer their relative anonymity in LA. Get to their show on December 21st at the Echoplex and see them live, you can thank us later. You can listen to them on MySpace.
