Biography

Lorena B combines vocals, electronic beats, and a unique sound. Since its inception, the band has created a live show with a variety of sounds, mixing rock and electronica. With the release of their self-produced debut album, “Siblings”, Lorena B went on their first tour in the UK. Songs from the album were played on the Jarvis Cocker[1] radio show on BBC 6 Music, London's XFM, and on many blogs around the net. The first single, 'Swallow my Gum' released a music video that received media comment,[2] and has been played on MTV IL. Since the band's conception, Lorena B has cooperated with DJs, such as dubstep producer Borgore; they have also played as main support for the American rock trio Blonde Redhead[3][4] and for the Canadian Electro Duo Junior Boys.

Siblings

'Siblings' (Released 30 April 2011)[5] was self produced by the band in a process that took over a year. The album's personal and warm sound has been described as a rich and colorful musical experience, taking the listener seamlessly through different musical landscapes from delicate to violent emotions.[6]

UK Tour

During the last few days of the band's UK tour for their debut album, they've stumbled upon Jarvis Cocker in Central London, in a friendly encounter, they gave him a copy of their album, not knowing that he will play their track "Intro" on his radio show "Sunday Service" on BBC 6 Music the following day.[7] Cocker introduced the song by amusingly mentioning that it's not the first track of the album.
