Hi. We're a 5-piece Alt/Rock band from New York & London. We just got done with an 18-date summer tour across America in support of our debut EP, Splinter (available now at www.CDbaby.com & coming to iTunes August 1st). The tour was nothing less than amazing - an experience we all will never forget! At the moment, we're focusing on writing and recording our new full-length Sellaband album (CLICK) For now you can purchase our EP at http://cdbaby.com/cd/Lunic or on iTunes but you better hurry cause there's only a limited number of copies available! "Listen to Kaitee Page's dense, classical arrangements and her angelic yet dynamic voice and it's hard to believe it's only been two years since she launched her all-out assault on pedestrian Pop Rock armed with her piano, violin and hitherto unknown songwriting chops. What's not hard to believe is that she has been classically trained since the age of 8 and she's quite the globetrotter, originally from New York and currently living in London (via LA, Nashville, etc.). She must have sucked the musical soul from these locales via osmosis, and now she channels them through her incisive and gorgeously arranged songs. Page wowed a local crowd at the Chicks Rock Fest earlier this year and this MPMF performance will mark the climax of her "Midpoint Mini-Tour," backed by an A-list group of Cincy Rock vets. You'll Dig It If You Dig: Tori Amos, Dresden Dolls, Amy Winehouse's "good" sister." -Citybeat (Cincinnati, OH) "Lunic's music isn't quite as sweet as their name suggests. Dark, edgy alternative rock, it's dangerous and menacing throughout, shot through with bitter sarcasm and anger. It's a blend of heavy rock, emo and folk, with Eastern European influences and a big debt to pay to Evanescence, so it almost goes without saying that it makes for interesting listening. The surprising tempo changes and sudden mood swings keep the listener on their toes, and the gorgeous string arrangements come close to usurping the lead vocals altogether. It's definitely not something that should be dismissed without a listen." -Subcity Radio (Glasgow, Scotland) What you're all saying: "Wow...Wow, wow, wow, and wow. I haven't been as diligent as I normally am when adding a band (since I am a complete music snot, and as such, usually refuse add requests from bands on myspace), but I just gave what you've got a listen, and, um, well...wow. Thank you for being talented. Thank you for sending me an add request, eventhough I only just now listened to your music...and am now hopelessly addicted. I must now begin pacing frantically until your album comes out." -AJ (San Jose, CA) Dec. 2006 "I always deny friend requests from people that I don't know in real life...but I looked at your page and I absolutely love your music. I am very picky about female vocalists, and I find your music to be beautiful. There are few out there still making music of this caliber, so thank you. Is there anyway I can buy a CD?" -Sarah (St. Louis, MO) Sept. 2007 "Lovin the Wake Up tune!!! Hey I run quite a lot of stuff on the south coast music wise so as you can imagine I've had more demos sent to me than Pete Doherty's had drug fuelled night!!! But am seriously lovin the Wake Up tune...are you signed???" -mc chatz (Bournemouth, South UK) Feb. 2007 "Just wanted to say that I'm really loving your music! I've gone through each track several times now. Truly beautiful... it's infused with such poetic lyricism and accompanied by an even more beautiful voice. I think you're amazingly talented with a unique sense of style. Gorgeous photographs too! Wishing you nothing but the very best. Peace," -Tadeh (California) Jan. 2007 "I am impressed with your music. Had a good listen to it - personally if you're not already signed you should be. You have an excellent voice and if you are singing and playing the violin that's really superb! You have a great talent, even the the rest of the band they are really tight - that's what you need to be a great musician. Not much else I can say, I am pretty much speachless with your work. Keep it up and you will definitely go far with your career." -Shaun (Leven, UK) Feb. 2007 "Just listened to your demo songs and I think they're brilliant! In today's world of manufactued ken and barbie 'stars' it's refreshing to see someone with actual talent and who isn't afraid to express what they feel instead of sticking to what's popular! You have a beautiful and haunting quality to your voice and music, your lyrics are both unusual and down to earth and I love the piano/violin bits in particular! Anyway lookin forward to hearin more of your music, keep it up and enjoy your time this year :) all the best," -Downie (Thetford, Norfolk UK) Jan. 2007 "Woah. I'm in love. Your music is amazing. Your voice is ... I'm not sure how to say... just soothing and ... unique... and it penatrates, I'm not sure if that makes any sense. But yeah. I really like your music, lyrics and everything. You're also a very talented writer."-Hunter (Mt. Juliet, TN) Nov. 2006 "Katie... wow! Something has gotten in to you. These two new songs are, IMHO, the best songs you have done so far. The lyrics are mature, they are personal; but, they also invite reflection....not that your other lyrics weren't also serious and personal; but, these seem a little less esoteric; a little less chain-of-thought. The music is tight (liked the strings- cello?- on wake up).. a little more guitar-lead in them than I remember hearing from you before...and that's not a bad thing. We like the rock n' roll =). Great work on these...keep on rocking...and good luck with the location change... peace" -Quincy (Philadelphia, PA) Feb. 2007 "Wow... It's quite refreshing to hear GOOD music in a popular style and with a bit of classical influence and instrumentation. I'm a composer / songwriter myself, so I have a special kind of appreciation for the true art. I know good music when I hear it, and yours definitely fits that category. There's barely any left in the mainstream at all, and that's sad. You are doing GREAT things here. Keep it up! Musicians like you have the power to revive the true meaning of music as it was meant to be - a divine form of expression. I'll be back to listen more. Peace," -Adam (Charlotte, TN) Sept. 2007 "Just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for such an amazing gift that you give to the world. You have inspired me to write my own songs, ok my songs suck balls but everyone has to start somewhere and not everyone can be as good as you, hehehe. Anyway, you go girl, Rock on" -Gaz (UK) Jan. 2007South Park Summer Tour 2008Live updates from the road...
