Lovethief is one word

Our 2009 album is called Lovethief, not Love Thief. Lovethief is one word. (in case you were wondering)

Lunic: all-female band rocks the Trash Bar

Friday is one of those days during the week that can go either way. You may experience some tiredness from the long week past, or you could feel excited about the weekend ahead. July 15th 2011, I was feeling a little bit of both. I was tired from the work week, but I was excited to get out of work and quickly return home to change clothes and step back out again. I got a date with Lunic at the Trash Bar.

If you are unfamiliar with the name Lunic, you may want to spend a little time getting better acquainted with this musical phenomenon. Lunic is an all-girl Indie band consisting of Kaitee Page (songwriter/multi-Instrumentalist) and Megan Berson (violinist).. While New York City has seen its share of all-girl groups, Lunic is a duo of truly talented women who hold their own with the best of them.

Although the group is described as a new wave band, their sound transcends genre and seems more of a blend of several genres with a consistent electronic backdrop that ignites a colorful canvas of melody. Lead vocalist, Kaitee Page, reminds me of PJ Harvey, but with more soul and a lot more stage presence. Their song “Love Me” is one clear sign of this.

Violinist, Megan Berson, who is building up a reputation as one of the best violinist in the world, even surpassing Jascha Heifetz, adds another dimension to Lunic’s sound that gives the band a warm, but distinctively innovative vibe to the group’s overall presentation. Megan also adds in a nice complement of backing vocals to Kaitee’s soaring falsetto.

I was racing from Harlem to Brooklyn in hopes to make it to the show on time. Fortunately, things started off a little bit late so I was able to kind of wind down and enjoy the atmosphere. After listening to Lunic’s music over the internet, I was really impressed that their live performance was just as intense as the record, something very unique in way of electronic sound. The trio scored with every single song that was performed as the audience stood in head-nod amazement, and just for one moment it felt as if I stepped outside of New York City, and was driving along Angeles Crest Highway underneath the stars.

far away

i lived days & nights like you
everybody just passing through
take all i can get in one day
cause tomorrow seems so far away

bide your time and test your luck
a little white pill, another quick f*ck
in the whirlwind of street desire
you ponder your heart's own fire

slick in the moment then predictably numb
cross the street to another someone
you've had your high you've had your fun
crack a smile, what's done is done

it's always a thunderstorm in here
without it the silence would hurt my ears
best the lightning strikes my heart
than for solitude to tear it apart

through the chaos you're alone
a million miles away from home
and all that you've ever known
seems so far away now

The Swan

As I sit here reading the viola arrangement for The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens, I am (for the first time) really grateful that I speak this language. Thanks Mom!

Dear Turtle,
I like petting your head,
But will happily pet your shell.
Love,
Rabbit.

schnitzel

i made it to germany! it's so freezing here, -16F. unbelievable really. on the news we saw that 13 people died today due to the cold, flights are cancelled, & highwazs are frozen. i guess i made it just in time.

tonight i ate schnitzel with jens and his family and drank lots of red wine to try to combat jet lag. it's not working.

tomorrow i'm going on a 16K walk with jens' parents. that's about 8miles. so 3 hours. in the freezing cold. FUN!

i love Gutersloh. everything i ever dreamed of and more...
