Finest DearestSurviving their junior high and high school years with the likes of grunge, early indie rock, punk, hardcore, and riot grrl, the members of Finest Dearest have a common vision of bringing passion and honesty back to today's music. A flurry of influences such as Pavement, Blonde Redhead, Sonic Youth and Cursive have planted the seeds for the fuzzed out, bittersweet, and highly melodic sound that Finest Dearest has worked hard to cultivate.
LuxxuryLuxxury began in 2002 when Baron von Luxxury, inspired by LCD Soundsystem's call to arms "Losing my Edge", sold his guitar and bought a synthesizer. He then rerecorded his home-demo songs as 80's styled electro-pop, with disco beats and shimmering Giorgio Moroder-y synth replacing the guitar parts. While tongue-in-cheek at first, the resulting sonic makeover was undeniably infectious, and a new (old) future-retro sound was born.
