  • Bio

    "I Lost Control should appeal to anybody that likes gloomy British music from the '80s, but they're a little more interesting than most of their immediate peers" - OSWALD HOBBES, Assault The Weekend Our output is something edgy and interesting, along the post-punk revival vein; average listeners and dedicated old-school indie-fans enjoy our shows. Formed in early 2008, Chicago IL. Entering its second iteration, I Lost Control is rockin' as strong as ever. Stevo continues to lead the charge with 360s, knee drops and angel wings on stage. First lieutenant Tennent backs him up on lead axe, walking the fine line between subtle hooks and uncontrolled feedback. He remains the band's genuine gloomy British connection. Tina L Sunny joins them to add a wealth of Indiana indie rock heritage on the bass. She also brings stunning good looks and an innate knowledge of herbal remedy cures. This is why the faint scent of peppermint pervades every I Lost Control show. The band rounds out with a percussive story that has beginnings in 1981 Athens, GA. JB spent the next twenty years wandering around the US with his paint brushes and drum sticks before chancing upon the I Lost Control 'Factory' studio. He needed a band. They needed a drummer. They all loved German meat balls and schnapps. Thus, they became four. Now... I Lost Control's 2011 debut EP Cones & Arrows is floating around cyber space and available at choice Chicago music shops such as Laurie's Planet Of Sound, and Reckless Records. We have two full-releases worth of material on the books. Much more to follow…

    Dear Grant and  the band,


    Thanks for accepting me as a new friend !
    Since I saw (and heard) you for the first time, two winters ago, I got interested in your work.
    Through Grant, I have been following you,and ,recently, I started listening to your material on "my space" (where my songs have been uploaded, as well).
    It is so exciting to see the change of direction of the song-making in time,comparing them from the earlier phases of the group's existence to the later one.
    Late 70s and early 80s influence is still very strong, but it's evident that there are some different elements, I guess, in newer material,for example "5 o'clock",which,
    at times,sounds even a little "prog-like". I assume Grant might not like this statement,but,this is only my impression.
    It is evident that each song is different from the other,and,for me, this is a great quality and shows diversity of group's work. I'd love to see you live again ,in the future !
    All the best!

    Sincerely,

    Voya L. (aka VOXX ILUSIVII)

    On June 14, 2010 we will be accepting submissions from artists interesting in performing in front of 25 to 50 representatives from the 4 Major Recording Labels and several of the top Independent Record Labels.

    This will occur over two consecutive weekends. One weekend in New York and one weekend in Los Angeles over two days that will feature 15 of the top bands selected to perform each night at one location. In doing it this way every band that performs WILL BE SEEN by ever representative attending. Unlike SXSW and other such music conferences where if you’re not at the one or two locations where all the label representatives hang out, you’ll ever be seen, and it was a complete waste of your time and money.

    NO COST or FEES, other than the artist’s own travel expenses. Compete details and submission procedures shall be posted on our MySpace page June 14, 2010. WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBMISSIONS UNTIL THAT DATE.

    And here is why we are committing a considerable amount of time and resources to this opportunity:

    Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare

    Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids’ service for our artist and band searches.

    As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.

    Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
