Does an artist really have to suffer to make great art? This common theory has developed over time due to the sheer number of tortured artists that the music industry in particular, has to answer for. But upon closer examination, that perception can be deceiving.
Venice Beach’s acclaimed psych-rock duo Movie Club have just released their latest instrumental odyssey title Great White.
