Winnetka Bowling League Announce New Album Sha La La For May 2024 Release, Share New Single “Handsome”

Winnetka Bowling League has announced their highly anticipated debut studio album Sha La La which is scheduled to arrive on May 31. They have shared a taste from the record with a new single and accompanying music video “Handsome.”

Frontman Matthew Koma commented on the inspiration behind the album, offering, “Our friend Taylor from Dawes told us to make an album, so we did. We’ve only made EP’s up until now…I think the limited commitment of putting 4 or 5 songs out at a time let us experiment a bit and try on slightly different outfits before we showed up to the company Christmas party. I’ve typically hated everything we’ve made a few months after making it and I selfishly wanted this album to have a slightly longer shelf life, so we really, unapologetically, embraced who we are.”

The band is set to hit the road this summer in support of the new album, serving as special guests for Waterparks and Loveless. They’re scheduled to kick off the trek with a show at Madame Lou’s in Seattle, Washington on June 25. They will also be stopping off in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, Columbus, Nashville, Atlanta, Carrboro and Cambridge. The tour will come to an end with a show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom on July 23.
