"Truly incomparable ... Innovative and yet accessible, [LOURDS] breaks the rules, while poised to break into the big time." -- Chuck Taylor, Billboard LOURDS, spelled all in capital letters, is a band of four distinctly charismatic personalities -- Lourds, Sarah, Gene and Joey -- best known for their high-intensity stage show and infectious songs you instantly walk away singing. Their undeniable talent coupled with their hard-working DIY approach have landed them a rave review in BILLBOARD magazine, a video feature on Billboard.com, and an impressively devoted national following... Not bad for the "indiest" of indie bands, self-booked and self-mananged on a super-small but loving label, Breaking Records. At age 6, lead singer, multi-instrumentalist and namesake, Lourds wailed on her violin and dazzled audiences at Carnegie Hall. Since then, this New York City native continues to mesmerize audiences, singing with venom and distorting her electric violin and mandolin alongside her powerhouse bandmates. Dominating the front cover of the entertainment section of the NY DAILY NEWS, LOURDS is a band rapidly on the rise. They are presently touring in support of their 2006 eponymous debut produced by Ed Stasium, the Grammy Award winning producer of the Ramones, Living Colour, The Smithereens and Biohazard.
