--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Exuberant and unjustifiably cheerful, Luminous Family Trust will carry you away, as if suddenly you found yourself crowd surfing a densely packed Carnivale gathering after a long day's work." - The OwlMag -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A cool up-and-coming band from the East Bay that tempers their ska sound with punk and Afrobeat influences. They're a blast!" - ShowyMcShow -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "They know how to get a crowd on their feet and moving to their funkytown beats. If you get the chance to see them in your neck of the woods, run, don't walk!" - CDBaby -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT LUMINOUS FAMILY TRUST What do you get when mixing one part Swedish punk guitar, one part New Orleans trombone, one part Mexican trumpet, one part Motown bass, one wallop of jazz drumkit, a dab of high-fat keyboards and add a taste of Brazilian percussion??? A mouthwatering serving of Luminous Family Trust! The brass-heavy, rhythm-focused seven piece band from Oakland, California, was formed with the goal to create an all-inclusive, dance and freak out-happy atmosphere with their punkified world music. The members have backgrounds and current involvements with accordion folkpunkband Local Love Enforcement, New Orleans brass band Blue Bone Express, Brazil-fusion band Brazuca Brown, hip-hop crew UnSmokables, various salsa bands, Artisan brass ensemble, and they came together thanks to sweet timing, and their desire to play upbeat, course-edged, dance music.

Oct 19 2008 6:05 AM

Come join the celebration over the release of our new CD – Boteco!!

‘Boteco’ is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.

Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fused in to one. What a mix eh?
Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2.

CD Release Parties:
10/31 Someday Lounge – Portland, OR
11/01 Cozmic Pizza – Eugene, OR
11/06 Moe’s Alley – Santa Cruz, CA
11/07 The Old Ironsides – Sacramento, CA
11/13 The Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, CA
11/21 Stage Door – Mount Shasta, CA
12/04 Harp Inn – Costa Mesa, CA
12/05 Santa Monica Bar & Grille – Santa Monica, CA
...more to come

Hey Brother,

Music? Well, it has been a while since I played some. I miss it though. Got this Computer GiG helping some folks in San Francisco and life has been very busy.

I will rise from the ashes someday and play some music again. Hope YOU and The Band are doing PRETTY WELL. You take care my bro!

Sincerely,

Alan GoYaMoOn
