The Orange Show presents Beach House…Live at The World Famous Orange Show!  Tuesday, March 17. 

Fronted by French chanteuse Victoria LeGrand and multi-instrumentalist Alex Scally, this Baltimore duo creates lush dreamy pop that recalls early Velvet Underground and Nico, but with a style all their own.

Houston’s Jana Hunter returns to open this evening of ethereal sounds.

Beach House is an indie rock/dream pop group which formed in 2005 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The group consists of Victoria Legrand (vocals, organ) and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboards). Legrand is the niece of french composer Michel Legrand. The group have released two albums: 2006’s “Beach House” and 2008’s “Devotion”.

Within a year of formation, the group charmed indie music enthusiasts across the blogosphere with their languid songcraft, while the eerie warmth of “Apple Orchard” landed on Pitchfork’s Infinite Mixtape MP3 series in August 2006. Two months later, Beach House issued their eponymous debut album for Carpark. Fall shows with labelmates Over The Atlantic were also scheduled.

Victoria can also be heard on Frenemies’ Birds in High School album. She and Chris Freeland created harmonies on the song Waiting for the Ambulance.
