Lunic - "Lovethief"
(SellABand)

"One of the most intriguing new bands on the horizon, Lunic sounds like the future, the past and the present, all at the same time."
David Malachowksi, Daily Freeman NY

"Majestic and damn compelling! ‘Lovethief’ by Lunic is brilliant right from the first play…clever and quite magnificent!"
Toxic Pete (UK)

If you added violins and viola to the sounds of MELISSA AUF DER MAUR of GARBAGE, you’d get something similar to Lunic. Or maybe if you ruffled the feathers of RA RA RIOT and gave them a grungier sound you’d get something close to Lunic. However you try to compare them, these are densely layered, brooding tracks with a strong female voice and beautiful strings as their hallmark. Their elegant yet honest approach to their music has built them a loyal, far reaching fan base. It’s certainly a force propelling many bands these days, so be sure to give them a good listen.

Lunic is primarily the project of Kaitee Page, who is the primary songwriter and can be heard on vocals, violin, viola and keys (in fact Page used to play viola with MARIAH CAREY and INXS.) She is joined by Kari Bethke on violin, Elliot Denenberg on drums, Mike Murphy on bass, and Gerry Leonard on guitar. Katiee wrote 10 new songs for the album and enlisted producer Peter Denenberg (David Bowie, Spin Doctors, Deep Purple) and mastering by Ted Jensen (Paramore, Muse.)

Lovethief was funded entirely by Lunic fans worldwide. Fans invested as little as $10 or as much as they wanted. All investors receive a free, limited edition copy of the album once it’s complete and the artists and fans share equally in the revenues of the album. Lunic fans contributed an unbelievable $50,000 toward their latest project. As the ultimate testament to the relationship of fan and artist, Lunic was able to record, mix, master, and promote Lovethief entirely through fan funding.
