Kat Zee : Do you have other music projects , or is your focus on Luna Lacuna ?
Luna Lacuna : Our drummer , JAMES FEIST , is also the guitarist in DEAD PUPPY and our bassist has a solo project under DAVE HERITAGE . The lead guitarist , HARRY HOOD , has the other bands — FUNKY MOTHERFUCKERS and INTERSTELLAR NOISE DRIVE . The singer / second guitarist , ABIGAIL ZIERING , has IIXII and DYBBUK , with partner VARGR I VEUM ( aka MATTHEW LEWIS ), and has done a guest vocal for TIM HOLEHOUSE . She is also working on vocals for a project TBA with a proper goth / post-punk legend .
Kat Zee : What is the best feedback that you have ever received regarding your music ?
Luna Lacuna : Honestly , all the kind words from people in the audience and the other acts we play with mean the world to us ! LIVEAMP reviewed us as “ Authentic and exemplifies how genre bending musicians are really breaking down the walls of traditional sound ”... and LUKE from BOO ! ZINE said , " In a 2015 Wicker Man remake ( sans Nic Cage ) the pagan islanders would be dancing to Luna Lacuna . As for me ? I need three copies--one in the car for driving through the night , one for when I ’ m drunk at home and one on my phone for walking through town , headphones in , blotting out external sounds with the dark intelligence , haunting vocals and howling guitars that this thrusts upon you ." We ’ ve been blown away by the support from ANDY COUSIN ( from THE MISSION , ALL ABOUT EVE , etc .) and LISA JANE MYERS-- who often play us on their show via DEAL RADIO and have been really lovely in general .
Kat Zee : Have you ever played a concert in an unusual place ?
Luna Lacuna : Our VERY local venue , POCO LOCO on Chatham High Street , is most unusual in that it ’ s an odd little Mexican style bar / venue frequented by an amiable and colourful trainwreck of regulars and revelers--but so amazingly supportive of live music , that on most nights you might find a band or solo artist having their first gig , a well known touring act , or anything in between ... anything at all ! it gets weird but invariably wonderful !
Kat Zee : From where does the interesting name of your band , Luna Lacuna , originate ? Is there any particular history connected with it ?
Luna Lacuna : Luna Lacuna roughly and literally translated from Latin is “ Moon Hole ” --which pleases us immensely--as the maturity of humor amongst band members is about the level of a 15 year old boy ! The name ' s more complex meaning befitted the original solo project , coming from the founding member ' s darker days : “ of or influenced by the moon ” and “ an emptiness or depression , nothingness , an unfilled space ”. Further connotations are “ a missing passage in text ; i . e ., reading between the lines ” and “ an extended silence in a piece of music ”.
Kat Zee : What plans do Luna Lacuna have in the future ? Are you working on any new music ?
Luna Lacuna : Most of the latest tracks were pretty much written while being recorded and we have new ones , so we will be doing an album early in 2017 . Our drummer has recently opened THE FORT STUDIO-- so it ’ s much easier for us to work on new material now !
