More Information
LUCE began in 2000 as a one-man band when Tom Luce began writing songs in his bedroom in the foggy Richmond District of San Francisco. What later became the hit song, “Good Day,” was inspired by the prosaic life of the typical San Franciscan yet is upbeat with an excitement of just being alive, much like the outlook of the group's founder himself.
Tom Luce moved to San Francisco with the aspiration of starting a band. He began writing and recording with friend and producer Adam Rossi. Soon after beginning work on his first album, Tom met Joe Schuld who would later become his manager and be the driving force to get LUCE on the radio. Once the CD was completed and sent to Bay Area radio stations, San Francisco's KFOG instantly knew they had a band worth airplay on their hands. Even without a record label to back them, LUCE began getting regular airplay with “Long Way Down” and “Good Day” at KFOG, which lead to a steady, and continually growing, fan base.
This past September the band went into the studio to record an EP of cover songs. The idea was conceived with a vision of bringing the band to the next level of musicianship before they begin their studio work for their third album. To the band, this EP is a chance to share some of their favorite songs with fans and also a way to evolve together as a band. The EP has rejuvenated and inspired the band. In fact they feel confident that the next LUCE record will bring a more distinguished and mature sound.
Though they have had their share of successes and misfortunes, the band has always stayed focused and positive, much like “Good Day.” Now they are ready to head back into the studio and give the fans the new album that they have been so anxiously awaiting.
