Melbourne's favorite quiet sensation, Luluc (pronounced Lou-Luke),
return to the US for a summer tour!
The music of Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett has quickly become renowned for its
austere and unadorned beauty. In songs pared down to an essential core,
Zoe’s unique alto is central and exquisite melodies are sung with uncommon grace and solemn power.
US Tour dates:
14 July - Los Angeles - Hotel Cafe' w/ Laura Veirs
15 July - Los Angeles - Bootleg Theatre w/ Rachael Cantu
23-26 July - Calgary - Calgary Folk Festival
28 July - Montreal - La Divan Orange
11 August - New York - Pete's Candy Store
Who is Luluc?
Luluc recorded Dear Hamlyn in the attic of a faded Melbourne mansion. Zoë and Steve arranged the album at their own pace, favouring antique guitars and close harmonies to underscore a body of work remarkable in its restraint and emotional purity. Since the album's release less than a year ago, Luluc have found friends and fans among a select musical coterie, touring with Lucinda Williams, José González, Charlie Parr, Joan As Policewoman, Eric Bibb and Fleet Foxes. Like a whisper or a caress, Luluc hold their audiences entranced. Zoë’s silken voice provides a strikingly beautiful counterpoint to her nylon-string guitar; Steve’s subtle vocal and guitar accompaniment weave in to complete a rich and deeply affecting sound.

I'm not the most neutral of audiences as I'm friends with both Steve and Zoe. But I'm also a huge fan of Luluc. If you get the chance go and see them. They are brilliant. I'm in the US at the moment and am frustrated that I'm not going to be in a city where they're playing at the same time. Bugger!
