ABOUT

enquiries: hello @ luanluanmusic

LUAN LUAN is an independent singer-songwriter and guitarist from Madrid based in Brighton. They started making music at a very young age as a way of understanding and expressing emotions through their synaesthetic conception of the world. Feeling colours for people, moments, and sounds creates a whole universe filled up with metaphors and similes in their lyrics.

Combining different genres like indie, pop, funk, and soul as their natural way of creating music, Luan has the power to bring the audience inside their vibrant and rhythmic style of playing: their fingerstyle guitar work adds a very rhythmic edge to their writing, which beautifully underpins their catchy melodies. Their unique voice and energy when playing challenge anybody to remain indifferent.

Luan released their debut single 'Elements' in 2019, which caught everyone's attention and was featured on BBC Radio, Radio Reverb, and Platform B Radio. In June 2020, Pride month, they brought a different story to the industry with their new single 'Yellow', a tune about queer love through art and synaesthesia. In February 2021, Luan collaborated with the producer Tiiva, releasing their remix of 'Yellow'.

In January 2023, their song 'Yellow' was featured in the new Spanish series 'Escándalo, Relato de una Obsesión' making it their first-ever sync on TV.

Full Line Up: The Crooked Kings, Forestlights, Project Culture, M60, WOLHEMIAN

Start April with a bill full of some of the best catchy indie that the UK has to offer right now.

Returning to top the bill after impressing promoters Absent Kelly before, is The Crooked Kings. The Crooked Kings are a quartet from London whose blues tinged indie rock is modern, unique and catchy as hell! This sound has seen the band championed by the likes of BBC Introducing and play big name venues including the Camden Assembly.

Forestlights are a London based Funk Rock Power Trio who are turning heads on the underground London circuit with their unique hybrid sound.

Lo-Fi indie rock quartet Project Culture will be bringing their unpretentious sound to the stage. The band have already played famous venues including Kingston’s Fighting Cocks.

We’ll also be joined by M60, a Manchester quartet whose infectious indie rock and roll has already seen them bag great reviews and quite a name for themselves on their local scene.

Opening the show is Wolhemian and her band. This Madrid born, Brighton based singer-songwriter plays laid back alt/pop topped by her distinctive beautiful vocals.
