1. La Luna is Indonesian Band, also shares a similar fascination with easy-listening retro pop. The sound is a bit jazzier and the band often takes their cute love songs to a sadder place, exploring themes of long-distance longing and bittersweet breakups. The band started out with a male vocalist singing in English when it formed in 1999 but shortly thereafter the members felt their sound and style needed a feminine touch. Enter lead singer Manik, who helped transform the band and take their sound to a wider audience. Better distribution on a major label was the next step for this band making music under "the moon," as their name suggests, and in the studios of some of the best producers in Jakarta.

Mostly they perform at acoustic home concerts during the full moon. Since their start in 2006 La Luna issued four albums: Hologram (March 2007), Blue Rose (March 2008), La Route Lilas (March 2009) and Harmoniepark (October 2010). More info (in Dutch) on their official website: www.laluna.org.

3. La Luna is a Belgian beauty born 26th July 1980 in Herentals. Her real name is Sofie Lambaerts, but she prefers to be named Luna which is Italian word for moon.

4. La Luna began making music in 2009 and have since played over 200 shows in several different countries. In this time, they have released two full-length albums and multiple splits and live recordings (several of which were released under the name Brain Fever). So far, La Luna has maintained a strong DIY sensibility –all tours have been booked by the band, and all albums released independently. Now located in Toronto, La Luna are planning European, USA and Canadian tours to promote their most recent LP entitled Always Already.
