Bio
Since the release of their first EP in January 2011, Parlours has been heard on number of televisions shows and films (FOX, ABC, ABC Family, Sassy Pants) as well as featured in many publications (Daytrotter, Glamour, Nylon, Stereogum, the Chicago Tribune). Parlours has opened for many great bands over the years such as Neon Indian, Barcelona, Lovedrug, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Kreayshawn, and Tim Kasher, and has been invited to play such festivals as 80/35, CMJ, American Music Festival and more. Parlours will be touring supporting their newest album All Is Here, which charted Top 50 CMJ thanks to college & NPR affiliated radio support. The album takes a turn from previous folk pop sound into lush dreampop landscapes.

"The band has an infectious, charming and uber melodic indie-pop sound with jangly guitars and a driving rhythm section reminiscent of The Cranberries." - Bruce Warren, Exec Producer of World Cafe of NPR
"In a loud, gaudy music world ruled by Lady Gaga, Parlours is different. Understated, smart, fun, pointedly Midwestern." --The Chicago Tribune
"What makes their impressive full-length debut All Is Here, out digitally today, truly rise above the crowded and competitive fray is the quality of Halferty's melody-driven songcraft and her gentle, light-as-air vocals. One of the nicest surprises of the year." - Dave Curtis, Direct Current Music / Sony BMG
