Lull is an eletronic infused pop rock trio from the Washington, DC area.
Why this name?
The name lull was chosen after a list of other names, all of which were already in use.
Do you play live?
Currently lull plays around the Wasghington, DC area as much as possible. Their crowd is lively, energetic, and fiercely dedicated.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is turning musicians into businessmen. You can't just write good music these days and stick it on a record. You have to market everything you do to encourage the consumer to consider purchasing your work.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the conditions were right.
Band History:
In 1995, three teenage friends gathered in a garage to search for expression. Their tools were primitive: buckets, trash-can lids, an antique guitar, adolescent vocal cords, and a rusty wheelbarrow. Though the resulting video and audio recordings have since been lost, the passion for communicating with the world and themselves is still very much alive.
In the summer of 2002, after years of performing in other bands and working on separate projects, the three friends reunited and lull was brought into existence. Today, lull is actively developing a distinct sound for themselves and playing shows throughout Washington DC and the surrounding areas. The music maintains an alternative rock basis but flirts dangerously with numerous other genres including electronica, symphonic, pop, and r&b.
Lull’s debut release, privacy, is a collection of ten original songs recorded live in a secluded Northern Virginia practice space. The self-produced recording showcases the enthusiasm and passion the band feels for expressing themselves and is a testimony to the relentless rehearsal schedule that guarantees an energetic and high-quality performance every time lull takes the stage.
