I first encountered, er, briefly caught, Lucius on my way into, the Solid Sound Festival in 2013. They immediately made me stop and go "oh, they actually are really good!" Fortunately they played a few shows not long afterwards that I was able to catch in entirety. They've got one album out, preceded by an EP of four songs that eventually made the album. Technically there is an earlier album, but they consider it a different band with the same name, so those songs never get played live.

Lucius have racked up a lot of publicity and many new fans at festivals in the US and Europe this year. They have a small but solid repertoire, and an "image" to boot. They are lots of fun, but some of their songs are real heavy too. And when I say heavy I mean emotionally, not as in heavy metal/hard rock, but they do rock.


This is the song that hooked me:


How Loud Your Heart Gets





Don't Just Sit There





Hey, Doreen





Two of Us On The Run


Enjoy!

oh boy - i'll have to check in another evening to catch up to you
