LUMINESCENT ORCHESTRII
Music to make you dance, kiss and scream
 
Romanian gypsy melodies, punk frenzy, salty tangos, hard-rocking klezmer, haunting Balkan harmony, hip-hop beats and Appalachian fiddle, all eaten and spit out by two violins, resophonic guitar, bullhorn harmonica and bass.
 

Media  

Luminescent Orchestrii's most recent media appearance was on BBC Radio Scotland's "New York Charm Sessions," a six-week series hosted by Sxip in the summer of 2005, just before the band's critically acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Fringe appearance. The band has also been featured on NPR's Weekend America and on John Shaefer's "New Sounds" on WNYC. They have been highlighted on Sony Music Japan's World Event Village website in videos by Masako Tsumura (January 2005), in The London Times article "The Gypsies Pitch Up." (May 6, 2005) and in The New York Times article "The Rise of the Gypsy Punkers" (July 7, 2005). They have performed everywhere from folk festivals in Appalachia to punk clubs in New York City to a gypsy festival in Transylvania.
