"Lotus’ talented Luke The Knife… blends a healthy mix of Funk, Disco and Dance for a mind-blowing performance." - LiveforLiveMusic.com " 

"Seeing Luke as a producer, or, more specifically, witnessing him take his keen sense of structure, of composition, and ear for taste, to the digital realm of music was captivating." - FestivalFootprints.com

"This is booty-shaking music." - TheUntz.com

"Luke the Knife combines disco, funk, and indie dance with Miller's own keyboard and guitar accompaniments, creating a unique spin on both 70's disc and modern nu-disco. His groovy tunes and funky beats could keep you on your feet and dancing for hours, and the variety of musical genres reflected in LtK's mixes and live performances keeps the dance party fresh and fun." - SensibleReason.com

Lotus has crafted a unique musical style outside of simple genre limitations. On a given weekend the band could be the only group with guitars at an all electronic music festival and then the next night crash a traditional rock festival with their dance heavy beats, synths and samples. Equal parts instrumental post-rock and electronic dance, the band's distinguishing feature is the ability to maintain a decidedly unique musical voice and remain current while bucking passing trends.

No matter what the venue, the energetic joy and catharsis of a Lotus show is infectious. The band slowly built a devoted fan base through steady touring and the crowds have grown at an increasing pace. This grassroots growth has made the band in high demand for festivals including Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Ultra, and Rothbury and earned the band sold out shows at the country's premier theatres and clubs.
