Electronic Jam Fusion Band Lotus Surges Into Pittsburgh
Genre-blending electronic jammers Lotus will plug in and rock out on the Three Rivers Arts Festival Main Stage at 7:30 pm, Wednesday, June 18, 2008. All Three Rivers Arts Festival Main Stage performances are free and open to the public.
Lotus blurs the lines between dance, electronica and rock music. Taking their unique sound around the world has built the band an impressive underground fan base. "Musically, we [want to] contrast raw and dirty sounds like guitar feedback, roomy-sounding drums with obviously electronic sounds like drum machines and analog synths," says Lotus member Luke Miller. The result is glitch-hop meets rock'n'roll, heady electronica with post-rock riffs and funky rhythms.
"Few bands try to create a new genre these days, but Lotus is going for it," says Elizabeth Reiss, the Festival's Executive Director. "Their sound is world music history revised and made new. We're happy to present Lotus again this year."
