Louna from Russia is our Tuesdays Travels pick of the week!

For this Tuesdays Travels pick I want to introduce you to a band that we recently got to see perform live here in San Francisco. From Moscow, Russia I present to you hard rockers, Louna.

Louna was in San Francisco performing with Heaven’s Basement and The Pretty Reckless for their Going To Hell Tour which in itself is quite historic with American, British and Russian bands together on the bill. Louna came out on stage and just rocked the place. Lou Gevorkian on vocals has not only has spectacular vocals but a high energy stage presence that reminds me of the days of the Runaways or early Pat Benatar.  On bass, Vitaly Demidenko is jumping around with adrenaline flowing through his veins and gives us some crunchy bass lines. On guitars you are treated to a double dose of blistering guitars by  Rouben Kazariyan  and Sergey Ponkratiev. Bringing the sound all together with his lively drumming  is Leonid “Pilot” Kinzbursky.

Together, this band shows us that even though they may come from a country halfway across the world, they ROCK JUST AS HEAVY AS WE DO! They currently have an album out, “Behind a Mask” produced by Travis Leake, mixed by Dan Kornett and mastered by Ted Jensen for Sterling Sound in New York.  It really has some intense hard rock that will have you wanting more from this Russian masterpiece. You can pick it up today on Itunes here.

Check out Rockin Ryan’s photos of Louna from their San Francisco performance at Slim’s:

 

Also you can check out one of our favorite songs from Louna “Let’s Get Louder” in this tribute video made by Rockin Ryan and includes photos and footage from their San Francisco show!

 

Make sure to check out their social media sites and also see if you can catch them as they continue to tour with The Pretty Reckless for a few more weeks. If not, you can still rock out to their CD. Check out a couple of my favorite songs, “Fight Club”, My Rock-n-Roll, “Let’s Get Louder” and “The End of Peace”.  All the songs rock so check it out.
