Lullabye Arkestra is Kat Taylor-Small and Justin Small. Brought together by love, they are bound by and to the music. It’s music by lovers, for fighters. When Kat picks up her bass and Justin gets behind the drums, the result is dirty, swaggering rock ‘n’ roll.
Formed in 2001, Lullabye Arkestra has always had the heart, soul and sweat of Kat and Justin at its core. While past incarnations have found up to a dozen people adding to the sound, today the Arkestra is stripped down, back to the core. This is a duo who knows when to scream, when to pummel, and, at the perfect moment, when to let the vulnerabilities show.
After self-releasing a hand-made CDR-EP called Bzaster in 2001, Lullabye Arkestra’s first official album, Ampgrave (2006), was released on Constellation Records. Since then, they’ve torn up stages in North America and Europe. Now, after signing to VICE Records, they are unveiling their latest album, Threats/Worship.
Congrats on "Threats/Worship" being included in the Year End List in this issue of Exclaim Magazine " From the metal sludge of "This Is A Storm" to the hardcore churn of "Get Nervous" and the booze-soaked balladry of "Sad Sad Story," the band's real passions are being uprooted and put on full, messy display. Threats/Worship shed layers only to reveal something bigger ― something that's still growing"
My Dear Lullabye Arkestra, I want you to know that your music and your songs are my passion. I am addicted to Lullabye Arkestra. There is something that pulls me towards them. Keep it up Lullabye Arkestra. Do PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
Congrats on being chosen as Best Punk/Metal Band in Now Magazine 'We've long been supporters of this husband-and-wife soul-thrash band, and now it's looking like the rest of the world is catching on to the primal joy of their minimalist R&B-metal. With their move from Constellation to Vice, their newest album, Threats/Worship, sees them dropping the horn section and returning to their early primitive glory'
Thanks for the Kingston show, you two. Have a good run in Boston and next time you're here, we'll we'll hook you up with some indoor plumbing! We have it here, I swear!
It was great to be able to catch your set in Ottawa. And great to talk to the two of you as well. Hope opening for Butthole Surfers was all you imagined it to be. :D
Hil L A. We absolutely adore your style. Come play in Denmark. We need you. Take a listen to this here band if you have the time... Love Andreas, Jaleh, Jeppe and Jakob
Great write-up in Exclaim 'Boasting a pummelling record and a tight, sweaty stage show, the couple is just a few tours away from an international fan base. "It's kind of our little nation of two right now," says Small. "Our band meetings are done over dinner'
Great article in Eye Magazine, 'This time around, though, Small and Taylor-Small have stripped their tunes down to a muscular full-force melodic metal wallop, with occasional moments of poppier levity in the skeletal structure of the tracks'
