Los Abandoned, the bilingual youth-friendly band behind that catchy tune about Van Nuys being "so nice," is no more. LAist was at their last show at TarFest, saying: "With their edgy, new wavy beach-meets-valley indie-pop-punk sound and alternating English/Spanish lyrics, Los Abandoned laid down a perfect soundtrack for early 21st Century Los Angeles."
