Massage (4)

Los Angeles, California Massage is guitarist Alex Naidus, formerly of Pains of Being Pure at Heart, who moved to L.A. in the winter of 2013; furniture designer Michael Felix, who got Alex singing and writing songs when he said he wanted to learn the drums; their friend Andrew Romano, a journalist, who invited himself to their second practice (and now shares singing, songwriting and guitar duties); bassist David Rager, a designer and childhood friend of Michael's, and visual artist Gabrielle Ferrer (keys, vocals). They meet up on Monday nights to bash out songs that crudely approximate their heroes: the Feelies, the Go-Betweens and Twerps, to name a few.
