Laundry Day (band)

Vocalists Sawyer Nunes and Jude Ciulla-Lipkin, who had been friends prior to starting the band, began making music together while attending Beacon High School in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan in New York City. Nunes had previously appeared on Broadway, in the original Broadway casts of Finding Neverland as George Llewelyn Davies and Gettin' the Band Back Together as Ricky.[2] After the two created their first song together, their friends/classmates Henry Weingartner and Etai Abramovich joined the band. Henry Pearl, another friend from Beacon, joined the band afterwards.[3]

Laundry Day released their debut album, Trumpet Boy, in March 2018, via their independent label Polo and Fomo.[4] They embarked on their first national tour, the All My Friends Tour, in the same month, to further promote the album. Their second studio album, Homesick, was released in March 2019. The album was co-produced with Romil Hemnani of Brockhampton and recorded partially at Shangri-La Studio.[3] The band performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October 2019,[1] and in November 2019, they performed at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.[5] That same month, they played as an opening act for The 1975 during the North American leg of their A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships Tour,[6] and played as an opening act for Clairo in December 2019 during the European leg of her Immunity Tour.[7] Their song "Friends" was used as the closing song in the season 3 finale of the Netflix series On My Block.[8]

NME placed Laundry Day on the NME 100, their annual list of "essential new artists", in January 2020.[9]

Laundry Day have cited their biggest influences as rapper Tyler, the Creator and the band Brockhampton.[4] Laundry Day's members are multi-instrumentalists, and often play different instruments on their songs than those which they play live.[3] Their "DIY ethos" has been remarked upon by various publications.[9][1] Their sound has been defined as "genre-defying".[10][9]
