The Sunset Strip Music Festival Presents: The Green Children With Special Guest Drummer Luke Holland, Live From the Roxy Theater, August 16th

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

"Searching dance-pop ballads from elfin dreamers ... Encounter glides by like Lady Gaga on a unicorn. Sunde gives synth-diva histrionics a mystical spritz, singing about dragons and black magic over skittering electro beats." - Rolling Stone

"Encounter is a hook fueled, emotional songscape - with powerful tracks and soaring, achingly beautiful vocals." - Jackson Browne

What:

Following their June residency at The Viper Room, and numerous festivals around the world, The Green Children were invited to headline The Roxy Locals Mixtape in West Hollywood on Tuesday, August 16th, at 10:00pm. The Sunset Strip Music Festival will also feature bands such as Motley Crue, Bush, Nico Vega, and Uriah Heep.

Who:

The Green Children are Milla Sunde and Marlow Bevan, a musical duo whose songs blend ethereal pop with post-modern dance beats. The two European-born artists met while attending the Liverpool Institute of the Performing Arts, an English university co-founded by Sir Paul McCartney. Their debut album Encounter is out now on Spinside Records, and is distributed by ADA Global.

In an effort to raise funds for Whole Planet Foundation (which extends the reach of microcredit to poor women), Encounter is now available at Whole Foods Market with 100% of proceeds benefiting the foundation.
