L O V I N A F A L L S "If only all pop music was this elegant, this eloquent, this infections, this damn unique. If Lovina Falls makes pop music, it is pop that has elevated itself to a higher plane, pop which glides the rarefied and high above chart pretensions, fads, and fashion, pop music that is both posed and poignant. This is music as art, art as music." - The Big Takeover, June 2025.   Welcome to Lovina Falls. Described as “joyfully unclassifiable ” by The Boston Globe, "elegant baroque pop drama" by Last Day Deaf, and “buoyant” by The Big Takeover, Lovina Falls entered the scene in Spring 2023 with debut album Calculating the Angle of Our Descent, spawning video singles for the hypnotic, harpsichord-driven “On Your Side” and ethereal synth-rock genre-bender “Vaulted.” The album depicts a “soundtrack to a wonderland where the Bohemians, goths, punks, and dreamers took over,” writes the Boston Herald.     A singular musical vision, all songs on the album were written, arranged, and produced by Forgione, as she accompanies her rich alto voice with piano, analog synths, guitar, bass, organ, and drums. Her creative efforts and vocal stylings have drawn comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush, Bat For Lashes, Fiona Apple, and Charlotte Gainsbourg.   Forgione’s latest project is also often compared to her former band, Boston’s beloved Mistle Thrush, whose combination of indie rock drive, dreamy textures, and sparkling pop song craft endeared them to many throughout the late 1990s and into the 2000s. Through their existence, Mistle Thrush shared the stage with such luminaries as The Strokes, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Lush, and Slowdive; won numerous Boston-area music accolades; were featured in Billboard Magazine, and were heard on TV show soundtracks. Steve Morse of the Globe wrote that Forgione has “some of the most versatile pipes since the dream-pop heyday of Kate Bush”.   In 2024, Lovina Falls emerged as a live, collaborative project, with Scott Patalano on guitar (Mistle Thrush), Matt Klain on bass (Mistle Thrush), Chuck Ferreira on drums (Eddie Japan, Greg Hawkes, Shang Hi Los), Laura Klain on backing vocals (The Daylilies), Carrie Ingber on keys (Fade/Chromavoid), and seasoned Boston musician Brenden Cobb on guitar. Following the release of the album, Lovina Falls released two singles in Summer 2024: the stormy “Tragedy”, and post-apocalyptic, love-at-the-end-of-the-world yearner “Ellery Way”, featuring Todd Demma (Mistle Thrush, Chameleons) on drums. After playing the Boston Rock and Roll Rumble and sharing the stage with the legendary Chameleons, Lovina Falls released a new single, "Light and Low" in June 2025 (also with Demma on drums), and is currently in the studio finishing up a new EP due this Fall.   Welcome to Lovina Falls.

History Count Zero is part of a long musical journey for Peter Moore and Will Ragano. They have been in bands together for over thirty years. Psycho Tec While studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, a group of students found that they had similar eclectic tastes in music (including love for bands/composers like David Bowie, Talking Heads, The Residents, Captain Beefheart, King Crimson, Morton Subotnick, Gang of Four, John Coltrane and many others). They also had a penchant for 70s Funk and Punk music, so five of them got together to combine these influences in a band they called Psycho Tec. This was the first group with Count Zero’s Peter Moore and Will Ragano, who have steadily worked together for over thirty years. Peter played Moog keyboard and Will played guitar, they were joined by Krishna Venkatesh on keys, Jeff Biegert on electronic drums and Kerwin Cain on lead vocals. Their chaotic, funk sound combined elements of the Sex Pistols (they did a cover of “Bodies”) and George Clinton (Funkadelic, Parlament, etc.). They performed several shows at Berklee and at small clubs, but never had an official release. Two live recordings are all that exist.    

Gene Dante and the Future Starlets have made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to their black-tie affairs. Shuffling down the sordid streets of Boston, the indie rock rat pack travel shoulder-to-shoulder with the deviants and debutantes about town, stepping out to the beat of their own banged-up drum kit.    In 2021, their waltz kicks down the door to DL/UX, the group’s forthcoming full-length album, due out 2021. The 15-track record pulls back the velvet curtain on a modern speakeasy, the fabrication of lead singer Gene Dante. But little beyond the concept itself is made-up; beneath the group’s jewel-encrusted facade are the lyrics that Dante writes — and later, croons — entirely captured from his own experiences. Elegance, debauchery, and sweaty tales from New York and Los Angeles stages come perfectly preserved in the headspace of DL/UX, wrapped up in risqué realism.   “It crashes through the wall of pop,” Dante explains. And once that wall’s in pieces, DL/UX takes the sledgehammer to all of mainstream music’s formalities.   DL/UX builds upon the group’s past successes, which began with their previous opus The Romantic Lead, released via Omnirox Entertainment. Produced by Peter Lubin, the record’s single "A Madness To His Method'' made its way into rotation at MTV's LOGO Network. Follow-up single "The Love Letter Is Dead" peaked at number 2 on local radio airplay charts, and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive months. Most recently, Gene Dante nabbed a Boston Music Award nomination for “Best Male Vocalist'' (now simply titled “Vocalist of the Year”) in 2014.
