notes

LOURDS, spelled all in capital letters, is a band of four talented and charismatic personalities, Lourds, Sarah, Gene, and Joey. At age 6, lead singer 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 alongside her superstar powerhouse bandmates. As a featured "NOW HEAR THIS" band in the "Summer Sizzlers" section of Billboard Magazine twice this past July 2005, and dominating the front cover of the entertainment section of the NY DAILY NEWS in January 2005, LOURDS is a band rapidly on the rise. They convert new fans instantly with their hook-laden songs, their cutting-edge sound, and their explosive stage show.

Here's a glimpse of what the critics have to say:

THE DAILY NEWS (NY): LOURDS has managed to sell 20,000 copies of [their] self produced album
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE: Songs that need to be heard ... Undeniable star power
NY POST: Unleashes a passion that turns crowds into rapturous mobs
NY NEWSDAY: Saws on the violin like a Fender Stratocaster
TEEN VOICE MAGAZINE: A style of music completely different from anything out there inspiring fan websites made by teenagers
ONLINE TV: Fan fever not seen since the fever days of the Grateful Dead
FOX NEWS: One of the most exciting violinist in all of America

Come and see for yourself and you'll understand why you can't see them just once.

    I first found out about this lovely bird in "99" @ the park on 16th Strret in New york and loved the vibe.It's such a new twist in things in stead of just an eletric guitar. I'm a big fan of strings so why not experiment with them all ........ Lourds voice is powerfull And it is true she is a Queen!!!

  • BEST NEW BAND OUT THERE!!!

    I actually think I need another cd b/c mine is just about worn now!! Can't get enough of it! H/e, I will hold onto this one for dear life since I was lucky enough to get all of their autographs on it!! I have been following LOURDS now for a couple years, and I just get more and more addicted to their music!! They are the most unique and talented band on the planet now, and they definitely should be getting even more recognition! BUY THIS CD!!!! And NOBODY but NOBODY rocks like them live!!!!!

    Extremely strong vocals backed up with a strong supporting band equals a great album. Lourds is pure hard rock with a twist of intelligence and depth. Classical training shines through in Lane’s diversity, but she’s definitely got some punk in her trunk too. It’s a kickass combo.

  • LOURDS KICKS ASS!
    author: Nettie

    I got turned on to her music when visiting a shop in NYC that a friend worked in. I bought one of her CDS there and couldn't wait to see her perform live. I took a special trip from Harrisburg Pa to see her at CBGBs last year and also saw her in Phila. This new CD definately catches the energy of her live perfomances. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY!!! recommend this CD for anyone who wants music that will inspire and rock their ass off at the same time. The whole band is just F***'N awesome!

  • The Quintessential Voice of Rock: LOURDS
    author: 7th STREET MUSIC

    At first listen, LOURDS blasts through your speakers and screams Classic Rock then takes you by suprize in a Punk sort of way when lead singer Lourds Lane explodes with her electric violin, unleashing the lyrics with her powerfully raw vocals. LOURDS the band consists of an impressively unique brand of musicians whose chemistry is palpable. With epic rock songs like "Supergirl" that tear your heart out to the fun pop tune "Astropop" these songs feel like a friend you've known for years and want to know forever. There's Gene Blank on guitar, who plays like his life depends on it while Joe Sagarese flies and jumps around the stage on bass guitar. Pounding on the drums with a punk meets glam rock style is Sarah Vasil,while Lourds herself captivates the audience with her dominating presence, making it exciting to know that she was a musical prodigy since age 6, she can do no wrong. See them live!
