Pogo-jumping rhythms +++ noisy licks +++ dirty-love-filled vocals +++ diversity & hope for planet earth. /// For over a year now they have been playing in basement squats, trashy bars, sold out underground clubs, and rehearsed in rooms where piss was literally raining from the ceiling to bring you the fruits of their sweet labor.
Their name is LILAC ATTITUDE, and you better believe it! It’s not merely a name but a promise: to go ahead and follow your heart no matter the outcome. It’s basically how they approach their whole existence as a band. Just ask blasphemic environmentalists Jacky (keys, main vocals) & Daisy (guitar, vocals) who got with each other by drinking, spraying and showering themselves in cans of beer in a foreign church, and who started the band with musicologist flatmate Raku (bass, vocals) by getting gigs first and time to rehearse second. In the end, it was possibly the youngest and newest in the band, beatkeeper Squid (drums, vocals) who sets them straight on most days.
So you see, LILAC ATTITUDE is about fulfilling fantasies, about grabbing life by the ’Syringa’ and the outcome of their music is pretty much predetermined by their personalities, the sound is driven, grungy, rambunctious, pure and hopeful. “Floral Grunge” – they call it.
