   About LKN

LKN is One woman, Lauren Kathryn Newman on album writing and playing all music and instruments.

However live, LKN is Lauren and a host of guests on instruments, usually in the form of a power trio.

Lauren has toured the United States extensively since the year 2001 through year 2007. She's played many festivals including sxsw and Ladyfest. She'd love to play overseas, but does not have the money or the agents to back her on this long wished for journey.

Lauren has four albums out on Greyday Productions of Portland Oregon : ( In the Leap Year ), (January 2005 Ten Songs), (Postulate I), and ( Postulate II).

Postulate II has been issued on Vinyl LP By PHRATRY RECORDS. The limited pressing (200) will come with a bonus EP CD.

Lauren tracked basic tracks at Audible Alchemy of Portland OR on February 27 and 28 2008 with Christina Files as engineer. Since then Lauren has added vocals to these recordings at her home studio. The albums fate is currently not determined.

Much press abounds online. See the Greyday Productions LKN page. Google: 'Lauren K Newman' for loads of reviews of live shows and albums .

    Lauren began drumming in punk bands in her hometown of Pensacola Florida at the age of 15.

    She drummed for the underground surf-rock sensations, the PROSTHETICS.

    She began writing songs at 18. And started 4tracking (on all instruments) 3-5 songs a day for 5 years.

    LKN started playing some of her 4track songs live under the band name STELLAMARIE, and then changed the name to her initials, LKN in 2002. STELLAMARIE recorded one album for the now defunct Four States Fair Records of Austin Texas. The label was run by Rob and Steph of Adult Rodeo. Lauren drummed for ADULT RODEO for a spring 2002 tour.

    She drummed for BELLINI in the NW on their fall 2005 tour.

    She continues to drum for bands, currently including PALO VERDE (formerely stickitin), LES TRESVINOS of Portland Oregon, KAIA WILSON & JENNY HOYSTON (PACKER), and 1994.

    When in FLA she drums for GGJOE. Past bands include, but are not limited to: BORN LOSERS, AVENUE OF THE STRONGEST, VANISHING KIDS, DUO OF DESTRUCTION and SUBARACHNOID SPACE.

    Lauren occasionally drums in a free jazz spazz project with Ryne Warner (Ohioan, ghost to falco) and sax God, Ben Hartman ( Old Time Relijun).

    Lauren is a restless , tireless, driven, passionate performer and musician. Please come see her and her beloved band when she is playing live in your area. Thank You. Amen.

    Sorry I haven't seen yr shows lately. It's been a bad scene, mentally. You n Terrica are still (clearly) the best musicians in P.
    (and beyond). I missed Canyons and SubArach n everything. I've been
    sucky, but in my defense some things have sucked at me lately. I was
    lost in the rain in Juarez, for instance. Ya know?


    I owe ya a Vitamin Water or some such thing.

    Respeck.

    TUESDAY 8/11/09:
    MARK TWAIN INDIANS, THE VALLEY ARENA, OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN


    “[SMART ROCK] Don’t let the riffage scare you. The Valley Arena’s new disc, We Died, finds the SoCal crew engaging in hard rock as smart as it is heavy: Tricky post-hardcore guitar licks are there to buoy cleverly jingoistic turns of phrase. Fans of bass-heavy ‘90s indie rock like Jawbox and Seaweed ought to dig the group’s smartly aggressive aesthetic, which grows in spurts with each release. And you thought nobody was making worthwhile rock ’n’ roll anymore. Psshh.” - CASEY JARMAN, The Willamette Week

    Lauren,

    I was bummed to see that you were not playing with the Castanets last night here in Charlotte. I was even more bummed when I was informed that you headed home ill. Hope you feel better soon, kid.
