Pearl & The Oysters and Reggi Roomers at Outer Limits Lounge

Pearl & the Oysters, international adventurers in eclectic pop, crash-landed their starship in Los Angeles in the year 2020. Born and schooled in Paris, the couple launched a nomadic romance fueled by music that would later see them crooning in New York jazz clubs, then wading the swampy waters of American DIY art rock in Gainesville, Florida.

Today in L.A., the band's evolving sound complements a buoyant moment in a scene where their brand of space age jazz-pop is more than welcome.

Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack met on the first day of high school in Paris - bespectacled Juju and curlyhaired Jojo, both music-obsessed, nerdy, and drawn together by a "poetic connection" and mutual heroes unusual for high schoolers, like Burt Bacharach, Kurt Weill and especially, Antônio Carlos Jobim. "It's very French of us to be into Brazil, but like, 1960s-French," said Joachim. "When we were kids, it wasn't that cool."

Reggi Roomers is a self-produced bedroom soul project by Detroit-based multi-instrumentalist George Morris. After years of touring with indie-rock outfit The Satin Peaches (Island Records) and releasing under his own name since 2013, Morris launched Reggi Roomers anonymously to decouple creation from expectation. The music marries classic soul arrangements with a raw, bedroom-pop aesthetic, defined by self-recorded production and a distinct lyrical edge.
