Du soleil au vent, 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘢 c’est une traversée dont on revient chargé d’un minerai précieux, un roc éolien, érodé à la ferveur de la fuzz, des gammes orientales et des idiomes multiples.

San Francisco musical collective The Love Dimension steeped itself in the music of the psychedelic era of the '60s then infused it with the sound of ‘90s grunge and other more contemporary influences to create “mind-expanding music” for the 21st century. Resonating with the consciousness expanding goals of the ‘60s psychedelic movement, The Love Dimension “creates sonic architecture for the benefit of all sentient beings across the multi-verse.” A musical vision that reflects the personal journey of band founder Jimmy L. Dias who was on the path to becoming a shamanic healer when his own experiences of healing called him back to music. In 2008, while continuing his training as a healer, Jimmy set out to find the right players for The Love Dimension. 

In January 2009, Jimmy played a solo acoustic show as The Love Dimension at a dive bar in San Francisco. Local club gigs followed with a rotating line-up supporting Jimmy (guitar/vocals), Celeste Obomsawin (vocals/percussion/flute) and Raphael Wayman Davis (bass). During its first two years, the band recorded its first album, In Between Lives (2011) and several EPs and singles.  Then tragedy struck with the untimely death of bass player Raphael. The next few years saw several different band lineups and the release of several recordings including albums Forget the Remember (2012) and Create and Consume (2014).

The Love Dimension’s core lineup is Jimmy L. Dias (vocals/guitar), Celeste Obomsawin (vocals/percussion/flute), Amy Jane Cronkleton (vocals), Robinson Kuntz (drums), Michael Summers (bass) and Devin Farney (keyboards/vocals).  The band has featured many other talented musicians such as Jacob Landry (guitar), Jeremy Walker (guitar), Joe Miller (drums), Kevin Grapski (bass), Ryan Erickson (bass/vocals), Eric Amerman (guitar/keys/drums),  Ryan Scott Long (drums), Sonny Pearce (drums), Tommy Anderson (bass), Kyle DeMartini (guitar), and Sean Carney (guitar) just to name a few.

Playing bigger shows at better venues, making festival appearances (including Desert Stars, Whole Earth, Haight Ashbury Street Fair, Gathering of the Tribes), getting radio play, the release in 2016 of the EP, Freakquency Space Mind Continuum, and the release in 2017 of the EP, Acceptance, The Love Dimension is poised to make a move.

The Love Dimension plays in multiple configurations—from solo acoustic sets to 11-piece expanded lineups—depending on the needs of the venue and the occasion. Whatever the configuration, The Love Dimension will deliver a performance that will elevate the spirit and move the soul.

ROCK - INDIE ROCK - VELVET ROCK - ALTERNATIVE
Founded by guitarist Sylvain Laforge and New York singer Angela Randall, "LUX", now LUX the band, is joined by Julien Boisseau on bass and Amaury Blanchard on drums.  Their self-described "Velvet Rock" is a mix of American and Brit rock and alt-folk made of elegant lyrics, unique vocals and consistently stellar guitar work.  Their first album "SUPER 8" was  re-released with new songs in June 2019. The second album, GRAVITY was released on 9 December 2022.  The band has just released (12 Jan 2024) an EP, "Before Night Falls - The Black Box Sessions" of 5 tracks recorded live, on tape, at Studio Black Box, France. The music of LUX the band is guitar-based, authentic, organic, analog. Have a listen and hopefully you'll follow us for a voyage filmed in Super 8.

LUX the band has played in Paris in venues such as La Boule Noire, Café de la Danse, New Morning, Bus Palladium and has played in NYC as an acoustic duo.

Imagine Natalie Merchant wandering into Villa Nellcote when the Stones were recording Exile on Main St. and you’ll get a flavour of who they are and that seductive allure of punchy guitar and wounded lyrics. Laforge feels strongly that all songs should work with just guitar and voice and, similarly, Randall’s spare lyrics tap into that same traditional aesthetic uncomplicated by layers of production or studio gimmickry.
