Biography

Lorena B combines vocals, electronic beats, and a unique sound. Since its inception, the band has created a live show with a variety of sounds, mixing rock and electronica. With the release of their self-produced debut album, Siblings, Lorena B went on their first tour in the UK. Songs from the album were played on the Jarvis Cocker's[1] Sunday Service show on BBC Radio 6 Music, London's XFM, and on many blogs around the net. The first single, "Swallow my Gum" released a music video that received media comment,[2] and has been played on MTV IL. Since the band's conception, Lorena B has cooperated with DJs, such as dubstep producer Borgore; they have also played as main support for the American rock trio Blonde Redhead[3] [4] and for the Canadian electro duo, Junior Boys.

Siblings

Siblings (Released 30 April 2011)[5] was self-produced by the band in a process that took over a year. The album's personal and warm sound has been described as a rich and colourful musical experience, taking the listener seamlessly through different musical landscapes from delicate to violent emotions.[6]
