Art Brut man to join Porterville for LA gig

Eddie Argos and co hit the stage on Monday

Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos is set to perform with Los Angeles band Porterville at the Silver Lake Lounge on Monday (May 12).

Argos recently collaborated with the band on the track 'Overfloatin', and he's set to perform several songs with them at the gig.

After becoming friends in Argos' newly adopted city, the Art Brut frontman and the LA rockers teamed up, and Argos began incorporating lyrics from Porterville's 'Overfloatin' into his band's live show before he recorded his own version of the song.

Now the artists are collaborating on a regular basis and are set to perform live together for the first time on Monday.
