Angel City Mini Biography

The name of the Australian rock band “The Angels” used by their American record company, so as not to confuse with the 60’s girl-group (of “My Boyfriend’s Back” fame) of the same name.

Angel City is a Zentveld & Oomen Dance project fronted by female singer Lara McAllen. The majority of their songs are dance covers or remakes. Their hit “Do You Know (I Go Crazy)” samples the instrumental track “Children” by Robert Miles as well as the lyrics from “Do You Know” by Michelle Gayle; and their hit “Touch Me” samples the lyrics from Cathy Dennis’s UK #6 & US #2 hit Touch Me (All Night Long).
