We honor the legacy of ‘90s LA music scene staple, Angela McCluskey.
We honor the legacy of ‘90s LA music scene staple, Angela McCluskey.
We honor the profound musical legacy of Angela McCluskey, perhaps best remembered for her effortlessly cool vocals on Télépopmusik’s ubiquitous 2003 hit, “Breathe.” The Scottish born singer-songwriter was a fixture of 1990’s LA with her band Wild Colonials, usually found performing at scene-centric venues like the original Café Largo and Molly Mallone’s. She was also a familiar presence on the airwaves of KCRW, performing many times throughout the years as a solo artist and with Wild Colonials. We’ve rounded up a selection of her appearances and a more in depth reflection on her overall musical contributions here.
