BIO: It was 2006 when LUMERIANS was founded by Tyler Green (guitar, keys), Marc Melzer (bass), Jason Miller (guitar, keys) and Chris Musgrave (drums). Early rehearsals and recordings were made in San Francisco, but the group has since relocated to Oakland/California where they have their own recording studio in a converted church. One year later the band finished a self-named 12'' production, released on Subterranean Elephants. Multi-instrumentalist Luis Vasquez joined in 2008 to complete this five-member band on synth and percussion. In 2010 the band was discovered by talent scouts for Knitting Factory Records from listening to their music on MySpace. On the the full-length 'Transmalinnia' album (2011) they manage to refine their unique style again and then 2012 saw the new effort 'Transmissions From Telos Vol. IV', consisting of four new session recordings. The band's aim is to create trancelike ecstatic music. The sound is influenced by psych and space music from the 1960s and 1970s, groups such as Sonic Youth as well as Krautrock bands like Can and Neu!. LUMERIANS received positive critical attention not only for the psychedelic sound, but also due to transcendent live video projections during their performances, just trying to make the experience a real happening.
