We're The Lighters. Based in Queens, New York. Our only recording has been done in an empty basement, using only the simplest technology. We believe in honest music. If nothing else, we strive for honesty. The band is made up of best friends...so, when we get tired, we shoot pool and smoke or whatever. The End.Band/artist history
We met in high school. We all come from different parts of Queens and we share our different musical talents to come together for a massive musical orgy. Yum.
Eugene - Lead Guitar/Rhythm Guitar/Harmonica/Piano/Vocals
Dan - Rhythm Guitar/Piano/Vocals
Peter- Bass/Kazoo/Recorder/Vocals
Matt - DrumsHave you performed in front of an audience?For now, we seldom play in front of folks... although sometimes you can spot us at a local bar in Middle Village. We're expecting to play bigger and better places in the future.
Your musical influences
The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, The Strokes, The White Stripes, Elvis, Wilco, Buddy Holly, Billy Joel, Travis, Sublime, Ben Folds, Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong,Fats Domino, Eminem, TupacWhat equipment do you use?
We're not a techno band but we have written some elctronic music. For that, we use Fruity Loops. We use electronic music as a means to attach, rather than detach, ourselves. We try using samples other people don't/won't use. Like a speech by John F. Kennedy...or the theme song from "Ozzie and Harriet."Anything else?
Eugene and Dan are in the process of writing their first album together. If anything, there are too many ideas floating around. Dan's always coming up with new stuff on the guitar. Eugene has set himself the goal of writing a song every thursday, with a two-hour deadline. Everything is going great so far. We'll keep you posted.Contact

Sounds okay...but check into downloading Audio Cleaning Lab by Magix and record with Samplitude Professional 7 off of a p2p program...such as kazaa lite or something. I enjoyed listening to wonderwall as an oasis fan I am. Check out my stuff...you'll know what I mean. I dig your sound, and the music is cool but the white noise gets to be a nusance....keep playing.
you guys are pretty good. if you guys got in a studio you would have a f***ing flawless sound...i dig the songs. it's important to have good tunes. you've got good tunes...your right about the honesty thing in your interview...very honest, simple, to the point lyrics...good job guys...check my band out. good luck.
