notes
Arising from the aftermath of 80's electro pop and the darker side of 90's rock, Spektral Motion has twisted modern rock into a blend of driving dance beats, rock guitars, and techno keys. Labeled as "edgy electroclash" and "techno rock", SpekMo is the caffeinated cousin to Pink, Garbage, or Boomkat.
"Spektral Motion" refers to a spirit of motion, which carries over from their sound to their live performance. Over the past 7 years the band has performed as a 3 piece with MéLisa Lomelino singing, Travis Krouse on guitar, and Ryun Hovind on bass guitar. Staying true to the dance genre, beats & keys are pumped out electronically and MéLisa uses onstage vocal effects. SpekMo's aggressive performance is a double shot of espresso, with MéLisa revving up the crowd by dancing nonstop and the boys rocking hard with their guitars. The Vidette reviewed a recent performance saying, "The band gave their audience what they've come to expect... an extreme experience."
The band's influences are drawn from Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Madonna, and Paul Oakenfold. MéLisa, performing since age 3 in full costumes to audiences, cites a dual identity to her passion for performing. One element is her love for dancing and singing, while the other is her addiction to fashion. Her influences showcase this fact, ranging from Lady Kier of Deee-Lite to Ann Wilson from Heart to Cyndi Lauper. "MéLisa is a dynamic force with attitude", says T and T magazine.
Ryun formed Spektral Motion to bridge what he saw as a gap after playing for years to rock crowds. "There was all this tension and raw energy in our rock shows that made the audience excited, but didn't give them a chance to channel that back to us...whereas now, our music is energy with an outlet."
Travis, weaned on Metallica, Van Halen, and Black Sabbath, sought a more creative approach to rock music when he joined the band. Using a multitude of FX-induced guitars, Travis goes from producing dark Matrix-type landscapes to futuristic laser solos.
With venues having grown to include outdoor concerts and festival appearances, the band recently relocated to Nashville where it has been amassing a large and loyal following in a short amount of time using word of mouth, an interactive web site, and great performances. Spektral Motion's debut CD entitled "Get Up & Go" was released Nov. 22, 2003. A regional tour and a m usic video release will follow in 2004 as well as a remix EP in mid 2004.
MéLisa comments that despite her passion for dance music, "I'm a rocker at heart, and we think techno rock is just the next evolution for rock and roll."

A hot chic with a hot dance track!
author: Todd B.I met MeLisa a few weeks ago and bought her album. She sings just as sexy as she looks. This girl is hot and she can shake her ass like no ones business! Get Up And Go Girl!!!
Dance - Dance - Dance!!!
author: BritneyThis CD has a dance beat with really strong vocals. I really like the song Get Up And Go. Most CD's have one good fast song and the rest are medium. This whole CD is basically fast which I love.
Filling the void of No Doubt
author: Miss ChristyOh how I miss the sound of No Doubt before Gwen dove into her hip hop phase. I love MeLisa!! Her voice is so strong and sexy. This CD will make you want to get up and move! If you love modern rock with a techno twist you will love Spekmo.
Spekmo is neato!!
author: a concerned music loverWhen one looks back through the anals of popular music history, certain unforgetable names stand out. Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Clay Aiken, and who could forget Spektral Motion. SIKE!! Seeing Spekmo(as I like to call them) live is an experience that will leave you breathless and hudled in a dark corner in the fetal position. Hearing their music recorded only adds insult to injury.
I love the teckno/rock sound.
author: ~*George Girl*~I love the sound and the lyrics. Me`Lisa is a great singer. My older sister is friends with her brother, so I've met her before!!!
SpekMo is G-R-E-A-T !!

I have to move when I listen to this CD.
author: WizardThis CD is explosive. There is so much energy it is impossible to sit still when you listen to it. This could be dangerous if you're driving, so be careful. I can't get enough of listening to it, it's a real energizer. The vocals are incredible, the music is innovative and driving. This band is destined to go far, no doubt about it.
If you like Gwen Stefani or Christina or Pink...
author: veggie loverMeLisa is an intense singer, she rocks! Plus she is gorgeous. The CD is definitely worth it!
i love track 4
author: SheilaWow! I love track 4. It totally sums up my feelings and sheds light on emotional angst. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's ever felt that way before.
