About Me

..

About Luminae:
We're an alternative/rock/electronica band based in Denver, Colorado.
Our goal: To create influential new music that pushes the boundaries and expectations of mainstream culture. We're tired of hearing the same old sounds on the radio. It's time for something new, something revolutionary. It's time for the next evolution in music.
Luminae strives to create music with strong lyrical messages, as well as technical savvy. Luminae is music for the people.
The greatest components to the Luminae experience are our fans. We NEVER want to be that band that the fans feel they can't interact with. Whether it be at shows, online, or in the street, our fans are the fuel to our engine. New fans will always find themselves placed in our top friends here on MySpace.
From Brian:
"Luminae is my dream. The culmination of years of playing guitar, creating music with past groups. Luminae is the future I dedicate to the world. I can't even begin to go into all of the influences that have affected me musically. It's such an eclectic mix ranging from the oldies of Buddy Holly to the Bee-Gees to Pantera to 30 Seconds to Mars. I love music. Luminae is my way of giving music back to the world."
"I want Luminae to constantly evolve. To be unpretentious and unpredictable. Music expresses itself in so many different ways and I believe that Luminae should follow that mantra."
From Randy:
"Music has always been a major influence in my life. Everything from simplistic rhythms to intricate, melodic ear-gasmic patterns have fueled my passion for drumming. Music that has influenced my style over the years ranges from The Eagles, Chicago, and The Rolling Stones, to Pantera, 30 Seconds To Mars, Korn, and Breaking Benjamin."
"Being a part of Luminae has pushed me to create some of the most intricate and dynamic rhythms. I want to continue to push my bandmates in new directions that allow the Luminae sound to stay fresh and unpredictable.
From both of us:
"You will never hear us say enough about the fans. You will never hear us ever think that we have thanked our fans enough. There is never a point when we don't have the utmost appreciation for everyone who aligns themselves with the ascent of Luminae, past, present, and future. It's your support that keeps us burning with new ideas. "
Stay tuned for news, new releases, more shwag, and upcoming shows.

Why you won't see Luminae on Twitter any time soon...

Part of me actually  thought about giving into the new fad that is Twitter.  I had the account set-up and then I thought, "Why?  What's that point?"I'm sure Twitter is a nominally good marketing ploy,...

R.I.P. Dom Deluise

I just wanted to throw a quick shout out to give my thanks to the many comedic stylings of the late Dom Deluise who died yesterday.  Thanks for the laughs, Dom.  You will be missed.  Luminae/B
