Dwntwn

Dwntwn (pronounced "Downtown" ) is an American indie rock/pop band from Los Angeles. Formed in 2010, members include Jamie Leffler, Robert Cepeda, and Daniel Vanchieri. Their self-titled EP, "DWNTWN" was released April 29, 2014.

History
It was after a break-up with Cepeda's brother that Jamie Leffler and Robert Cepeda formed the band, starting as a duo. Staying home to write songs and work on their sounds, the two spent years perfecting their music. Soon Dwntwn became a four piece band as their sound evolved.

In 2012, French tastemaker label, Kitsuné debuted Dwntwn's first single, "See My Eyes", to critical acclaim. This track was added to one of the label's compilation albums. Then in 2013, Dwntwn was again featured on another compilation album with Giraffage and Jhameel on the track "Move Me". Each song reached #2 on Hype Machine's popular chart.

Red Room EP
The Red Room EP was released on November 13, 2012. This EP was noted for its heavy use of the synthesizer that really started to show the musical evolution of the group. This release led the music to be compared to Ellie Goulding, the soundtrack of the film Drive, Dev and Sia.

With the release of "Red Room", Dwntwn joined Capital Cities and Golden Field for a handful of tour dates.
