The Lovemakers make electronic/rock dance music with a passionate, sexually charged fury. At times aggressive and mythical, other times painfully honest, their music is rich in melody and drama with an underlying commitment to pop hooks.
The Lovemakers radiate pure love for what the do, not least of all in their mission to entertain, liberate and, yes, command audiences to once again dance to a rock band. Their live show was recently described by a (possibly intoxicated) audience member in their native Oakland, California as "a pink Ferrari driving through a mountain of coke." The unforgettable live performances are the product of a show intensely honed over the last three years. From unheated warehouses plagued by the police, to rock and dance clubs across the US and even Australia, they never give up until the party is drenched in sweat.
Having been kicked out of their previous band, Scott Blonde and Lisa Light formed The Lovemakers in the spring of 2002, together with Jason Proctor, who conveniently lived on the same street in Oakland. On stage, Manchester, UK native Jason presides from his robotic perch of vintage synthesizers and Macintosh laptop. Meanwhiile, Stanford educated ex- marine biologist/circus violinist Lisa Light (vox, bass, violin) and Vermont-raised pop prodigy Scott Blonde (vox, guitar) enrapture audiences with their manic chemistry, infectious dancing, and spontaneous make-out sessions. Offstage however, Scott and Lisa consistently refuse to discuss the exact nature of their relationship with the media or with each other. Rounding out the group is the loosest cannon from Concord, CA: Josh "The Eagle" Kilbourne on the drumset.
On their Cherrytree/Interscope Records debut album, "Times of Romance", The Lovemakers tease and condemn, love and hate, break up to make up, all to an addictively danceable heartbeat. The first single, "Prepare for the Fight" is already making waves in clubs and radio nationwide. Watch out for the street date release on Aug 23.
