Run River North, formerly known as Monsters Calling Home, is a Korean-American indie folk-rock band.[1]
The band formed in 2011. Its early works were inspired by the band members' Asian-American parents' background. The band performed at venues across Southern California, including Super Concert, the DRIP coffeeshop in Los Angeles' Koreatown, and the Kollaboration 11 competition at the Nokia Theatre on December 5, 2011.[2]
Because the band recorded a music video in the band members' Honda cars, the car company secretly booked the band for a gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 18, 2012, and recorded the surprise as an ad.[3]
The band released their self-titled, debut album, "Run River North" on February 25th, 2014 [4]
