only is the venue beautiful and the sound is really good, but we were lucky to perform there on a great night. It was our friends' Single Release party and the energy was already great when we got up on stage but it was electric up there and we had a great show. It was a magical night and we had a lot of fun.

THE CONTROVERSY
The Controversy has been shaking up audiences with their music and continues to have people wanting more. By not playing it safe, they are able to move fans in a captivating way by having you go through the emotions. Such as feeling happy, sad, upset or maybe even offended they always leave you with a message that makes you think. Singing was something that Laura enjoyed and even has home videos of her singing as a child. Starting out as a solo project for Laura, she was introduced to Thomas who would play the guitar parts for the popular song "Little Star." Since then the two 13

It knocked me out and I fell on the floor. (Continued page‌14)

All our shows have had something special and we always enjoy playing live and interacting with the audience, but I would say the recent show we did at The Viper Room in LA was one of the best ones we had so far.
