Lullabye Arkestra

A gritty man/gal duo that combines an aggressive attitude and battles conformity via an unconventional genre clash of Motown spirit and hardcore punk, Lullabye Arkestra were formed in 2001 by drummer/vocalist Justin Little of Do Produce Tell you Think and bassist/vocalist Katia Taylor. After documenting an eight-song CD-R discharge in their initial summer of life, entitled Bzaster (not really a typo), with Small’s Perform Make Say Think that bandmates on horns, in 2002, they extended their roster to add organist Shelton Deverell and a number of other rotating associates. Occasionally playing live being a duo, as well as other situations including up to dozen music artists on-stage, their audio filled out significantly over the following couple of years. Their 2006 discharge on Constellation Information, Ampgrave, took 2 yrs to create, and included over 20 visitor guests layering violin, Hammond, horns, and assorted additional instruments together with Taylor’s fuzz bass and Small’s drum bashing. The duo was especially busy in ’09 2009: in addition to touring, putting your signature on to Vice Information, and performing backup on Fucked Up’s The Chemistry of Common Existence, Little and Taylor got wedded. They didn’t precisely relax, though. Shortly after their honeymoon vacation, the recently christened Katia Taylor-Small and Justin Little released a very much heavier follow-up to Ampgrave entitled Risks/Worship, with an associated video for “We Fuck the night time,” influenced by George Romero’s Dawn from the Dead, where audience members change into zombies and so are mutilated by Lullabye Arkestra’s music.
