lost companions international

Founded in 1998.
lost companions international is a collective of musicians based out of southern california.....
Complete with intricate guitar riffs and ambient samples, Lost Companions International is an exciting contribution to the San Diego music scene. Taking a cue from their wide range of influences, the band is defiantly unique in creating both lulling and temperamental modern post-rock sounds that fit perfectly into the resurrecting urban, hipster, avant-garde art scene emerging within San Diego and throughout Southern California. Lost Companions International sways with dynamic wordless emotion and is a band to most certainly get familiar with. - SDmusicmatters.com

"I hate a song that makes you think that you're not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are either too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that....songs that run you down or songs that poke fun of you on account of your bad luck or your hard traveling. I am out to fight those kinds of songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood." - Woody Guthrie
