The Luxury (opening for Coldplay)

"Shatner does not accept add requests from bands"

About Me

Since summer 2005, The Luxury have been transmitting their brand of British/American rock across the airwaves, over the ether and through the nightclub air with grace and gusto, earning fans around the globe, critical acclaim, award nominations, and radio airplay across the United States. In spring 2007, the debut album "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" (click to buy album or high quality mp3s) arrived.

The record went straight to the CMJ charts upon its distribution, debuting as the 13th most added disc in the nation. In Boston, singer Jason Dunn has been nominated Best Vocalist a total of 4 times, by the Boston Phoenix, WBZ-TV, and The Noise.
