BRÅVES
Enigmatic Los Angeles-based dark electro-pop trio BRÅVES took the internet by storm in 2016 with a string of stirring EPs and music videos that challenged the norms of the art-pop landscape. Since then, BRÅVES have been refining their sound, aesthetic, and approach, and are poised to shock the system yet again with their debut full-length album.

Cafe Stella
"Best decor - African themed sorta kinda. Never seen anything quite like it. Totally subtle too. Best craft cocktails. The Coastline is a favorite drink. Jericho's favorite drink is a Manhattan, Thorald likes whiskey neat, and Johnny likes top shelf tequila." — BRÅVES

Bar Nine
