LYDIA (USA) The Bright Yellow Australian Tour 2012

Great art is never literal and usually left open for interpretation. With Lydia, that is exactly what has kept the phenomena alive…

Lydia is not a person, but a feeling. They communicate in a dialect that defines the soundscapes they paint. The connection to their audience is a bond that can’t be broken or dismissed. When Lydia found themselves at a crossroads in 2010, their fan base is what brought the project back together, and pushed them forward. Swarms of fans with Lydia tattoos showed up to their sold out farewell tour. Something special had happened, beyond what anyone expected.

The band decided in 2010 that they would formally disband. They chose to release an EP of new material, titled Assailants, and head out on a farewell tour. The reception they received and the quality of the performances outweighed the gloom of it being their “Farewell”. After witnessing a very strong reception from crowds on the other side of the Pacific in Australia, the band realized this would be a very difficult thing to leave behind.

After much debate, realization, and late nights lead singer Leighton Antelman and drummer Craig Taylor decided to bring Lydia back to life. They went back into the studio in the summer of 2011 with Matt Malpass (Rookie Of The Year, Copeland, Manchester Orchestra, Train) and started to record their follow up to Assailants, titled Paint It Golden.

So here they are, back on the stage again, in Australia in January 2012 to tour their latest release ‘Paint It Golden’.

‘The tender sincerity, dynamic layering, stunning vocal harmonies – the record speaks for itself and holds a monumental, immovable place in many of our hearts.’

‘Every once and again a band comes along that not only captivates audiences with their stellar live performances and musical genius, but also captures the hearts of their followers and tweaks emotions hidden deep that only can be triggered by honesty and true passion.’
