Kinetic the Blog: A Late Christmas Gift: The Live Lights

By: LucyRock

‘Twas days before Christmas and before we kept going to more and more posadas and other Christmas parties, we decided to finally and gladly go check a local Houston act that has been making a lot of commotion, not only here in Houston but, also in the city of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico! This local band that has named itself The Live Lights was formed in 2008 by Bryan Khatib and Bryan Higginbotham and later with the additions of Vik Montemayor and Martin Rios, it became the and that we know today an awesome but rare mix of keyboarding new wave indie rock. The Live Lights have participated with local Texas acts like the Caterpillars and international acts like Peter Hook; this last one was their first performance in Monterrey, Mexico. Not only have they played in the big metropolitan cities, but they have also made themselves known in others like Brownsville and San Benito, Texas.

The Live Lights are heavily influenced by British rock among those bands, are my personal favorites The Cure and Radio Head. If you digg bands such as; The Killers, Zoe, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Interpol, then you pretty much need to go and check out this band. The Live Light live are pretty much beyond awesome and go far beyond the three songs LP, which leads us to believe that very soon some new songs and a new LP will be coming out soon (fingers crossed!), but in case you don’t even have this LP you need to get it asap! Go get it now in iTunes, listen to it and let us know what you think, and check them out!
