Our own Local Natives are attracting some national attention these days, landing a plumb spot on NPR.org to preview their debut LP, Gorilla Manor, just ahead of its release next Tuesday 2/16 on Frenchkiss Records.

They’re over in Europe (Rome tonight) now but come back Stateside for SXSW, Coachella and Bonnaroo.
