CANCELED: Soul'd Out Presents: Sports, Wabie - All Ages
Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Sports inspires images of the youthful idyll of bygone times through dulcet melodies
and sun-drenched funk synths. Their elaborate, mind-expanding arrangements are warm and
enveloping, creating a world where David Bowie, The Beach Boys, and The Clash collide.
Sports first introduced themselves with their 2015 debut single “You Are The Right One,” a
concentrated slow drip of funk. Their debut project, Naked All The Time (2015) and its
follow-up, People Can’t Stop Chillin (2016) delivered additional critically-praised singles
including: “Panama,” “Whatever You Want,” and “Someone You’d Rather Be Dating.” The
band returned in 2018 with their first full-length album, Everyone’s Invited, a vibrant offering
that received acclaim from Pitchfork, Pigeons & Planes, and plays on KCRW’s Morning
Becomes Eclectic. To date, Sports has garnered over 100 million streams, an impressive feat for a band who’s stayed true to their independent roots and DIY ethos. After spending the last three years split between Los Angeles, California and Norman, Oklahoma, Cale and Christian find themselves back in their hometown, but with fresh perspective gained from distance and time. It’s this perspective that’s apparent in their upcoming studio album Get A Good Look.
