Lord Huron is a
musical and visual project created by Ben Schneider. Originally a
solo project, collaborators now include Mark Barry
(percussion, vocals), Miguel Briseno (bass,
percussion), Brett Farkas (guitar, vocals) and
Tom Renaud (guitar, vocals). Ben
Schneider was born in Michigan and started playing music
as a child. He studied art in college and lived in France and New
York before moving to Los Angeles in 2005 to pursue a career in the
visual arts.
In May 2010, Schneider traveled home to Michigan and spent a week
on the shores of Lake Huron. There at the lake, where many of his
formative experiences had come to pass, Schneider recorded the
three songs that would comprise the Into the Sun
EP. He released the EP online in June and dispersed a
small number of CDs complete with his own artwork. Lord Huron's
first live show was in August 2010. Schneider released his second
EP, Mighty, in November 2010.
The band toured heavily in 2011, continuing to develop a live show.
In January 2012, Lord Huron signed with independent label,
IAMSOUND Records. The first full-length album from
Lord Huron, Lonesome Dreams will be released in September
2012.
Night Moves is a Minneapolis based band. Their first 2 songs released,
Horses and Headlights, are
electro-country-soul tunes. Music blog, I
Guess I'm Floating, spotlighted Headlights saying, "Night
Moves, a
harmonious three-piece from Minnesota, craft tracks that
contain
splices of electro/glam rock interspersed with soulful shreds of
an
Americana vibe. When was the last time you heard harmonica and
synth
go together so well? I'm not sure that I ever
have."
