Mike Luno Band - Electronic Press Kit (EPK)
Songsmithery Served Hot n Funky
Vancouver-based Rock quartet Mike Luno Band throws a dash of Funk, a shot of Fusion and a dollop of Pop melodicism into the Rock pot and raises the heat. Recent addition Zoey Leven adds atmospheric keyboard and soaring vocals; Mike Nitchie provides the infectious, groove-happy basslines and vocal harmonies; co-founder Curtis Leippi's signature drum artistry is as awe-inspiring as it is distinctive; and Mike Luno's songwriting, guitar-craft and vocal stylings set the widely-dynamic mood, to make you get up and dance or sit back and contemplate exotic atmospheres.
Winners of the Van Sessions Battle of the Bands Grand Prize, Island Music Awards (IMA) Best Male Vocalist, and IMA nominees for Best Songwriter and Best Artist, Mike Luno Band has been hailed as "energetic, crowd-pleasing, and original" by Vancouver City Limits, and "'Sting meets the Chili Peppers' - that’s right on the money." by the Georgia Straight. MLB has also been praised for their musicianship and "Zeppelin-like rhythm section".
Beyond Mike Luno Band, you might encounter some of its members in local tribut acts Fleetwood Magic (Leippi, Luno), Barracuda (Leippi) and Bad Moon Riders (Nitchie). Leven is an award-winning solo artist in her own right.
