PRESENTED BY JON RAY
The Live Lights was formed in 2008 when Adam Khatib and Bryan Higginbotham, who had met years back, agreed to start up a new project. Victor Montemayor and Martin Rios joined shortly after, and instantly began their musical excursion performing in Houston.
Bonded over a shared ambition to rock the foundation of indie-rock music, The Live Lights
posses the unique ability to whip the stage up entirely befitting the beat-driven hearts and souls of indie-rock fans. Their dynamic songs are full of dramatic emotion and moving layers that can be felt from start to finish. The Live Lights are a four-way operation. Contributions by all members help to define the sound that is The Live Lights. "A blend of different music backgrounds woven together like your favorite blanket," says Rios.
Since inception, The Live Lights have built a strong and faithful following and have rattled audiences in the Houston and Texas region with their live performances and unique style. Playing shows with national and international acts including Peter Hook (New order/Joy Division), Datarock, Esser, Ruben Wu(Ladytron), Young the Giant and more, have helped The Live Lights reach out to a much broader fan base. Other achievements include performances @ Indieweek Fest 2010 in Canada, & Ghoulsfest 2010 with Macy Gray, We are Scientists, Bad Brains, and many more.
The band is influenced by artists from all genres including The Killers, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, The Beatles, Ours, New Order, and many more.
The band's second CD was released in the spring of 2011 and is a compilation of songs with a modish blend of electronics, angular guitar work, a la mode drumming, and lucid vocals. A refreshing sign of growth and depth in the song writing is apparent as The Live Lights continue to fine tune their sound and direction. The new CD includes three new tracks produced by Matt Novesky of Blue October.
