When Brad and I visited Ireland in 2008, I was struck by how much local music was on their radio stations, and the variety of styles that were played.  I think they have the right idea over there and the people behind this site and online radio are right on the pulse of all that is great in independent music.  It was a pleasure to chat with Gregory and be featured.

Enjoy!

Our shows will be a bit sparse this year, but for good reason:  Brad, our keyboardist and co-writer, will be touring internationally as Regina Spektor’s synth player!  Check out ReginaSpektor.com for upcoming tour dates and new media.  We are huge fans of her music and very excited for Brad!

I’ll be sure to keep you posted on cool events and television appearances.  The first show of the tour is this Tuesday April 10th at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair New Jersey, and by the way… it’s SOLD OUT!  What a way to kick off a great tour season.

Giddy with anticipation,
Erika Lloyd

We’ll be piling into a minivan the second week of July to spread our music far and wide.  Okay, just to a few cities in the Midwest, to the DC area, and back home in NYC.  We’ve existed (in a few different configurations) for almost 5 years now… I think it’s time we played outside of NYC!

We’re a friendly bunch, really we are, so come on out to a show and make sure to say hi afterwards.  We’d love to meet you.

Sincerely,
Erika Lloyd

This hot new single blends the elements of LGG’s signature classic style with a pop-infused melody and an uplifting lyrical message. It’s an easy listen with a great beat and a hint of  throwback to late 70s sunshine pop… perfect for those hot, lazy summer days.

Give it a listen!
Thanks for your support,
Erika Lloyd

Did you know plastic has been slowly accumulating in the NW Pacific to form a garbage mass roughly 2x the size of Texas?! Join us for a night of art & music to reverse the spiral and combat the plastic vortex. Proceeds benefit projectkaisei.org – an organization who through expeditions, research and education is finding ways to reduce its size and keep plastic from entering the ocean in the first place.

We go on at 7p!  Followed by…
