LIZ LARIN 'LUSTERKRAFT ' JOINS FORCES WITH FLASHCLASH FOR

A SPECIAL ELECTRO-POP MUSIC & VISUAL

CONCERT PERFORMANCE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Birmingham, MI) Recording artist and musical performer LIZ LARIN will be presenting 'LUSTERKRAFT' at the Magic Bag, joining forces with Michigan's FLASHCLASH and Wireless G for a innovative performance of electronic pop music combined with visual projection.

'LusterKraft' is a special solo electronic music project with projected visual art, first released in 2008 on Bona Dea Music which has been touring selective cities in the US and Canada. On the road Liz is never without her electric guitar, audio recorder and video camera and has used these tools to create 'LusterKraft.' The name is a nod to the godfathers of 20th century electronic music, 'Kraftwerk,' and combined with rock, jazz, and R&B musical influences create a multi-sensory performance.

LIZ LARIN, a consummate electric guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, is also a hometown favorite having garnered 33 Detroit Music Awards in multiple categories including rock, pop, world and electronic music. LusterKraft has evolved from Liz Larin's rock-pop band performances which have attracted a loyal following in the Detroit area. Liz is looking forward to performing for friends and fans at the first and only concert date in Southeast Michigan for 2012.

BIOGRAPHY

Liz Larin is a traveler - and a performance artist, singer, guitarist, and composer/songwriter whose lyrics address the real issues within which our society lives. This former Atlantic Records recording artist is also a member of postmodern classical collective New Music Detroit and a video essayist. Larin's background in Detroit R&B/rock/techno, soulful storytelling, and restless creative spirit have produced an international fan base and over 30 Detroit Music Awards (more than Eminem, The White Stripes, Kid Rock, and Bob Seger combined).

First inspired by religious music at age 10, Liz Larin was a songwriter and performer at age 12, and became a music educator at 15, encouraged and mentored by more experienced musicians around her. Larin's jazz inspirations and rock energy combined when her band Rebel Heels recorded their first critically-acclaimed project for Atlantic, One By One By One, in England with legendary producer Rupert Hine (Duncan Sheik, Howard Jones, Stevie Nicks). Liz's second Atlantic recording, Test Your Faith, was co-produced by Ben Grosse (Filter, Vertical Horizon, Marilyn Manson), while the next, Merry Wicked, co-produced by Scott Spock of The Matrix (Korn, Avril Lavigne), debuted on Larin's own imprint, Bona Dea Records. The Liz Larin Band was featured on the multi-award-winning recordings The Story Of O-Miz and Wake Up, Start Dreaming - Liz's early 2013 release will showcase rare live recordings of this group at its incendiary finest. Larin recently premiered her long-form composition "Beauty in Three Parts" at Strange Beautiful Music, a 12-hour marathon featuring members of the Detroit Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, and Boston Symphony.

Liz Larin's LusterKraft project (the name a nod to Kraftwerk, one of the grandfathers of late 20th century electronic pop music) is a visual experience working in concert with the audio experience. First heard on the recording Transmitter, LusterKraft seamlessly synchronizes stunning live performance with electronica, rock guitar playing, and trippy visual projections with influences from fractals to social commentary and personal insights. This highly charged one woman tempest-in-a-teacup has been likened to the sound of Peter Gabriel playing with The Edge, and is a direct embodiment of Liz Larin's spirit of inventiveness and anti-genre thinking. A Liz Larin LusterKraft performance is a magical embrace between show and spectator.
