      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Local LA band <a id='f2663' class='f2663' href='/affiliate/C2663'>Simon Dawes</a>, who is signed with Santa Monica based Record Collection, has confirmed nine dates on the Honda Civic Tour, opening for <a id='f509' class='f509' href='/affiliate/C509'>Maroon 5</a>.&#160; This is a huge step up for the Malibu natives.&#160; An idea of their sound is detailed in the band&#8217;s bio:
</p>
<p>
&#8220;Driven by mood, feelings and long thoughts: not by time signatures, tempo, key or style alone. Feeling spontaneous as if it were created on the spot and not over worked. Like telling a long story from memory, pulling you along from song to song&#8230; All the while the complete story being told, slowly with emotion and thought.
</p>
<p>
What is ultimately scary is that Simon Dawes&#8217; music seems too big and wide to inhabit these young guys. A fresh and new sound reincarnate of the best of the past. Albums instead of singles. A soundtrack to a life...or maybe a 2am drive from LA to Las Vegas.
</p>
<p>
A deep hard solid feeling that moves...serious and melancholy at the same moment in time. Like modern sons of Nick Drake. The White Album&#8217;s lost track as performed by Black Flag at Half Speed.
</p>
<p>
The songs force you to want to read the lyrics...to follow along to the last note and start over again.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
Their EP is available online and at shows or on Itunes beginning in May.
