Hailing from Los Angeles, Lemonwilde was co-founded by Ter Dines (piano/synth) and Joe Murray (vocals/lyrics) in 2008, and in 2009 the band rounded itself out with the addition of Damion Sanchez (drums). The band then saw quick success–they were named Indie 103.1′s Band of the Week and Deli Magazine’s July 2009 Artist of the Month; they’ve continually headlined major Los Angeles venues and were even flown out to play Sarah Michelle Gellar’s party in NYC; they’ve been featured on countless blogs and radio stations throughout the world, and appeared on Filter Magazine’s Coachella 2009 Sampler CD. In March of 2009, Lemonwilde released their first EP, the five-song Red Room.
Now that they’ve completed Red Room, they plan to bring their music to the world in the greatest of proportions, one step at a time. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the great music they’ve grown up on. The end goal is to influence and give back to the next generation, that they, too, may take up the flag and drive music to places yet unseen. The quote from Roald Dahl, “We are the music-makers and the dreamers of dreams,” is a great way to explain what is coming next for Lemonwilde. They plan to do just that.
Lemonwilde will be on the road throughout the Fall of 2009 and throughout most of 2010. Check in with the tour schedule to learn more about when they’ll be in a town near you. Their first full-length release is set for early 2010 (details to come).
