Plunkett: an English boy and an Italian girl.
Both Ian and Lara had a love for music from a very early age.
After studying music at Rome, writing and recording with the ambient project
Ex Machina and alternative electro pop group Otero, Lara became a partner
and A&R of the Dune Records, an independent italian label based in
Florence.
Ian had always played in bands and after finally finding like minded musicians
the electro pop/rock band ‘Pukromo' was born. In late 1999 Pukromo signed
to Dune Records recording their debut album ‘Promise Me Kill Me' during
2000.
Life’s funny sometimes and although the label and band folded, Ian and
Lara got together.
Frustrated by the mechanisms and ties of the music biz and tired of their
‘electronic’ past, they focused on their emotions, on themselves. Without
any thought or the pressure of trying be anything other than that. Themselves.
In 2006 their debut album ’14
Days’ was released. An acoustic orientated, intimate album
of alternative contemporary folk rock. The album received an unexpected
critic and listener's acclaim through the internet leading them to being
featured artists on some of the most important independent music sites
throughout the world. Many of the songs have also since been used in two
American independent films: Dave's Date (Forbidden Foot) by Natasha Guruleva
(Accent Works) and A Hell Shared by Karl Rose (Current Production).
2008 sees the release of Plunkett’s second album ‘Folk
Songs’. Contrasting its predecessor, although still remaining
alternative contemporary folk rock, the sound and feeling of the album
is much more direct with as much emphasis on the lyrics as on the music.
With a desire to only write songs and move people, Plunkett choose to
remain independent artists and work outside of the mainstream music business.
Thanks for the comment! The movie has been 'suspended' by the producers. Meaning...basically...they scared just as they were about to succeed, as some people do...and quit. It sucks...but there's a longer explanation on the Meet Arthur Troy myspace page in our blogs. But hey, life goes on...check out my music page...(i do only covers right now) and let me know what you think though! See, I don't only make movies :p http://www. myspace. com/stevenmayes
