As the summer scene rapidly comes to life, Boston’s rising stars Couch will make some major moves, bringing its signature brand of high-energy dance celebration to new audiences and its profile to new heights with the arrival of Sunshower – Live in LA. Released independently on May 3, the emergent indie-funk septet’s first-ever live record captures the sound of the first leg of its 2024 headline tour, which saw the ensemble honing and delivering its anthemic, horn-heavy grooves to crowds throughout the country. The band will celebrate this new offering and continue its inexhaustible performance calendar this summer, plotting 15 dates with six festival sets through early September.

Sunshower – Live in LA shares Couch’s sold-out engagement at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre in December 2023, which landed right at the crossing from its largely sold-out 40-stop headline tour and its 2024 run. The album is a track-for-track mirror of the group’s 2023 studio EP Sunshower, plus a bonus cover of Justin Bieber’s pop mega-hit “Sorry,” which receives a you-up with the band’s distinctive glossy and slick fun-forward funk. For a taste of this new record filmed from the stage, the group has offered up a live video of the lead single “Jessie”; watch the thrilling performance below.

After a set at Rooster Walk Festival on May 23-26, Couch will kick off the latest frame of its 2024 tour on June 1 with a free show at Westport, Conn.’s Levitt Pavillion. The band will then bounce to the West Coast for a trio in the Golden State, culminating in a June 16 set at Petaluma, Calif.’s Mystic Theater, before two further festival sets at Elkhart Jazz Festival on June 21 and The Great Blue Heron Music Festival on July 6. After four northeast stagings, including sets at Do Good Fest on July 13 and Flood City Music Festival on July 24-26, Couch will hike out to the Mountain Region for three final headline shows, concluding in a free set at Dillon, Colo.’s Dillon Amphitheater on August 12. To wrap its 2024 touring thus far, the band will present sets at Barnside Harvest Festival in Vancouver, Canada on September 13.
