Local Music Outlet– Lunic

Band Name: Lunic

Bio: “All-girl New Yorkers Lunic make distinctive and sultry psychedelic indie with hints of downbeat British electronica acts The xx and Portishead, mournful dashes of violin and melodic lead guitar flourishes.” -NXNE

Tell us about your band!: Hi! I’m Kaitee. I write songs and play a pink 5-string electric violin. I also play piano, viola, and a little bass & guitar and ukulele! I was born & raised in a little town in upstate New York called Loudonville, but I’ve also lived in Nashville, London, Los Angeles, Vegas, & New York City. I’ve traveled all over the world. I’ve had a lot of crazy, not-so-normal experiences: some good, some bad, and some that people might not even believe are true. I started writing songs in 2005 after seeing Muse perform live for the first time at Coachella. I continued writing songs because it’s the only place I can be 100% honest. Most of my songs start as poetry and come from a sad, lonely place. But I find that there’s beauty in all types of emotion – especially the extreme ones. I tend to gravitate toward situations that induce intense emotional responses. The highs and lows seem to be a natural part of my brain chemistry. So I ride them like waves. A fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants/ go-with-the-flow type of girl, the soaring and crashing are a part of my daily existence. So I welcome it. I don’t think I could survive any other way. At times I feel confined in a world with too many human-made rules. I break a lot of these rules. I take a lot of risks. I make decisions based purely on my gut. I test a lot of boundaries – in friendships, in love, in life, in thought, mostly in an attempt to find what’s real (but sometimes just for a laugh). And in the end, all these experiences, in one way or another, become the ingredients of songs. Sometimes there’s just no better way (for me) to express things.
