Band Members:
Lux is a dynamic collective of musicians, performers, dancers and puppeteers from all over Europe, based in the Alpujarras, Southern Spain. Over the past 3 years Lux has produced three major shows by blending modern music, theatre, dance, acrobatics, spectacular sets and costumes, huge puppets, fire, with a cast of anything up to a hundred people. This combination of talents and energies as well as influences and styles all harnessed into telling stories with a clear and positive message make Lux unique. You won’t have seen or heard anything quite like it!
All the sets and costumes used in the Lux shows are made in our solar powered sewing room, using recycled and reclaimed materials. This directs our artistic style and helps us to walk our eco conscious talk.
At the heart of Lux is the band EAT PRUNES, producing all the music in our own solar powered studio in the Alpujarra mountains. Eat Prunes assemble beats, loops and samples with super fat bass lines in a breaks/drum’n’bass style, and play this live with keyboards, flutes, percussion, and beautiful female vocal harmonies and raps:
‘Eat Prunes! Start a movement, write tunes for positive attunement, unblock your dams it’s quite important, State of the world? Room for improvement!
Prunes=plums. Higher than any other fruit in Vit B2 – for mental health and emotional balance!’
Eat Prunes aim at nothing less than changing the world by filling peoples’ heads with positive affirmations.
The current CD ‘Love is the law’ as well as the soundtrack to the Lux show ‘A Drop in the Ocean’ are available from [email protected]
