New London band Luna and Simone make dazzling, high-energy psychedelic rock, evocative of 60s power trio the Jimi Hendrix Experience, rock giants Led Zeppelin and the early work of contemporary artists Tame Impala and Pond.
Luna and Simone is a collaboration between rock guitarist James Luck, artist and bassist Elliot Simpson-Rooke, writer and singer Seb Gale, keyboardist Oli Collins and jazz drummer Joe Keech. This varied and technically gifted lineup has resulted in a refreshingly diverse and organic sound, characterised by its exciting and often unorthodox musical arrangements. The band is underpinned by a solid rhythm section incorporating powerful grooves from an eclectic mix of styles ranging from funk to drum and bass, and is embellished with huge guitar riffs as well as intricate and expressive solos. Over the top of this float Gale’s dreamy lyrics, brought to life by a rich, melodious voice. Luna and Simone released their debut single ‘Living Green’ in December 2019 and are currently working on their debut LP.
