Parade of Lights is an American electronic rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band is composed of Ryan Daly and Anthony Improgo, Michelle Ashley & Randy Schulte.

History

Shortly after meeting in 2006, Daly and Improgo formed the band Polus. After releasing a four-song EP entitled “Wish” and garnering a significant buzz in the L.A. area, Polus was put on hiatus due to considerable demand for both Daly and Improgo as touring musicians. Even with their rigorous touring schedules, the two managed to keep their friendship intact and exchanged song ideas via email until 2010 when they decided to officially reunite as Parade of Lights. They spent that year and 2011 releasing new music and playing shows in Southern California, Utah and Nevada, opening for artists like Imagine Dragons, Marcy Playground, Light FM, Rooney, Stamps, and Ringside among others.[2][3]

In June 2013, the band released their single "We're the Kids," which quickly gained online recognition and was added to SiriusXM's Alt Nation channel, where it's spent four weeks on the Alt 18 Countdown charting as high as #14. The song was included in the 2014 EP Golden. The song charted as high as #41 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs.[4]

Their 2014 EP Golden reached #44 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers album chart.[5]

The band is signed to Astralwerks.[6]

Feeling Electric will feature on EA Sports FIFA 16 as its title song. The game was released worldwide on September 25th 2015.
