Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals), Lola Domp\u00e9 (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals) met while immersed in LA&#8217;s DIY band scene, and started jamming together in 2017. Gaining notoriety for their explosive live shows, they were invited to share the stage with bands like Surfbort, Wand and Flatworms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lola was born into a punk household (her father is Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus) and joined her first band, art-rock outfit Blackblack, when she was just 13. Halle and Izzy met playing in local bands in Northeast LA; Izzy was a guitarist and vocalist, and Halle liked to plug her fretless bass into a guitar amp. Uninspired by the masculine energy of the local scene and rock music on the radio &#8211; <em>&#8220;pumped out like plastic bottles into the ocean&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Izzy ditched the guitar for a synth, and in 2017 she and Halle joined forces with Lola. They named themselves Automatic after a song by the Go-Go&#8217;s &#8211; the only all-female rock band to have written and played instruments on an album to reach #1 in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Izzy studied film at college and Halle used to work at cult video store Kim&#8217;s Video in NYC, and the band also counts film as an important influence on their music. In particular, David Lynch and Dario Argento&#8217;s fingerprints are all over Signal&#8217;s ambiguous lyrics and eerie atmospheres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>LA post-punk trio Automatic have released their debut album\u00a0&#8216;Signal,&#8217; and have also shared the video for the single Strange Conversations, which was directed by Byron <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=32318\" title=\"Automatic release new video for &#8216;Strange Conversations&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32319,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"On Culture Addicts: Automatic release new video for 'Strange Conversations'","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,29,30],"tags":[5019,925,8312,8500],"class_list":["post-32318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-automatic","tag-post-punk","tag-signal","tag-strange-conversations"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/AutomaticbyLoganWhite3web-990000079e04513c.jpg?fit=732%2C1000","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-8pg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":31752,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=31752","url_meta":{"origin":32318,"position":0},"title":"Automatic announce debut album &#8216;Signal&#8217; + share new single","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"July 20, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"LA post-punk trio Automatic have announced their debut album\u00a0'Signal,' which will be out on September 27th via Stones Throw Records.
