Santa Barbara rock band Loomis & the Lust is making waves with their catchy, danceable brand of rock. Having formed in early 2008 at the impetus of band namesake and guitar-wielding front man, Will Loomis, this youthful rock four-piece, features Casey Hooper on guitar, Anthony Sonetti on drums and Scott Henson on bass. Casey and Scott, both graduates of Musician's Institute in Los Angeles, previously played with Django James & the Midnight Squires. Anthony Sonetti, also a graduate of Musician's Institute, just won their award for best drummer. Singled out by MySpace Records to be part of their "Friends" program for developing bands, Loomis & the Lust was asked to do a remix of one of their songs for Rockstar Games/PSP using a new software game made by Timbaland called "Beaterator." Their music video for "Bright Red Chords" won MTVu's best "Freshman" video in December and the video is now in rotation on MTVu, a remarkable achievement for an unsigned band with their first EP. Additionally, the video will be featured on AOL in December and has been picked up by over 35 other cable outlets and retail chains for air play, and won two contests by both Music Mix USA and Fuse TV for the best music video from an unsigned band. |
