Gold Shimmer is an indie funk project that originates from the mind of singer and songwriter JD Venter. They released their first EP "Temple of Solace pt 1" in 2018, receiving good critiques around Southern California, and have since continued to make waves in the local scene and across the States.
Influenced by Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Earth Wind and Fire and more, the band puts on an electric live show through another time and dimension, using visuals, go-go dancers,, actors, props and so much more.
