Originally from Ecuador Luis Terreros was born in the city of Cuenca , where he grew up listening to Spanish Rock music as well as international iconic bands such as "the Beatles", "Led Zeppelin", "The Doors", "The Who".

Growing up in such musically rich environment, he started to play the guitar at an early age. From that moment on, music would never part from him. It will come to him in a variety of ways, as well as opportunities to explore new places, genres and styles. Indeed, it came when in December of 1999, he got the chance to travel to the states.??He arrived in N.Y.C, where he got exposed to a melting pot of cultures that would influence his future style. From there on, he will pursue a career as a musician.

At first Luis started playing covers of "The Cure", "Heroes Del Silencio", "Caifanes", etc., with "Doppler" in 2003. It was not long after, in the same year, when he started his own band "Silueta Vil" a Latin Alternative Rock band from the New York tri-state area in 2003, in wich he was the lead singer. ???After five years of playing covers of Spanish and English bands, and also their own compositions, Luis still felt that there was more to do. Deep inside he had the need and hunger for new styles and rhythms. This led him to walk away from the band after they split in early 2009 and to launch himself in a learning adventure of new trends in music , influenced by vanguard groups such as"Cut //Copy", "Franz Ferdinand", "Movin Units", "The Presets", "LCD soundsystem", "Fisherspooner", "The Bravery", "Daft Punk", etc

In May of 2009 Luis Terreros decided to experiment with Electropop & new wave. With the close assistance of Producer Inti Maldonado and after six months of hard work and dedication he has finally finished his first solo EP called "Ecos Lucidos". The result has been a refreshing style of music that is a mix of Spanish and English tunes wich completely revolutionizes the realm of Spanish rock; reflecting very well the blend of Latin and American cultures so palpable in New York City.


The summer of 2010 brought Luis Terreros back to the studio to record his new album Trivialidades, and after almost a year of production, with the collaboration between the stellar cast of artist Terreros, producer Inti Maldonado, engineer Lou Gimenez, drummer Mark Flynn, grammy award winning mixer Pablo Arraya and master enginner Tatsuya Sato from Sterling Sound has resulted in a charismatic set of seven new tracks (six in Spanish, one in English) boasting tight, clean rhythms and rich vocals.

Trivialdades is even more charged with electronic sounds and loads of acoustic and electric guitars than Terreros' first album 'Ecos Lucidos' and resembles contemporaries like Mexican pop rock band Zoe and canadian Arcade Fire while also carrying heavy nostalgic weight harking back to Spanish rockers like Gustavo Cerati and Babasonicos. Trivialdades is a well worked album dishing out a gumbo of sounds from indie and electric pop to alternative latin rock, all the while comfortably crossing over cultural and generational musical territory, something this team seems to be especially good at doing.

The new album of Luis Terreros "Trivialidades" is the winner of the Album of the Year given by Voltaje Magazine NYC, That's a great recognition of the hard work for over a year of production and recording along with a great team who managed to bring out Trivialidades.

The Glorious Veins formed near the end of 2007 and hit the scene hard. Within a few months, the band was playing at indie rock venues throughout New York City. The band's sound, with its compelling mix of crooner melodies and post-punk dance grooves, was refined into a ten-track DEMO that they recorded in March of '08. With their demo in hand, The Glorious Veins are gaining momentum and establishing a conspicuous presence in the City. This unique and diverse foursome hail from four entirely different backgrounds spread over three continents. They came together with a mutual appreciation for all kinds of styles and a predilection for blending these influences to create a sound all their own. The band's singer and primary songwriter is Paul Pangman. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Paul showed a love and affinity for music from a very young age. Paul came to New York at the age of 18 to attend Columbia University, where he picked up the guitar and started writing music. In a few years he wrote well over 100 songs but he needed to find a band to play them. Fortunately for him that was all about to change. Paul enjoys a walk in the park, biking and ballet. His special move is the dancing rooster. Matt "howlin" Howels, the guitarist, was born and raised in London, England. He taught himself how to play at age 12 and has been blowing minds with his slashing skills ever since. In the UK, he played with many different bands while in college at Southhampton and in London after graduation. In October of 2007, Matt moved to New York City where he immediately fell into the downtown blues scene before joining The GV's. Matt enjoys lazy afternoons, brunch, and blacksmithing. His special move is the ninja kick. Lee Grasso, the bassist, was born and raised in Connecticut. Originally a guitar player, Lee found himself playing bass for theGV's after they had a line-up change during August of '08. Having an RnB background, Lee's technique and aggression when it comes to playing bass, compliment the bands new and upbeat sound. Lee loves fishing and his special move is the jumping octopus head butt. And last but not least: drummer Wiggy Colmenares. Born and raised in the Philippines, Wiggy started playing the drums in middle school. Music became his passion and he went on to play in many successful Filipino rock bands. He moved to New York City a year ago with his family and now lives in Queens. Wiggy enjoys shadow boxing, dandelions, and keeping secrets. His special move is the kung-fu butterfly combo.

The Damn Choir's use of guitar, cello, vocals and drums, along with Gordon Robertson's introspective lyrics, create songs that range from meandering and melancholic to pulsing and vengeful.

The Damn Choir began in January of 2009 on a freezing and fated night in Chicago. Gordon Robertson sat slumped at the bar, drowning his post-horrific-break-up dejected self in whiskey and happened to meet cellist Katy Myers. Although at first Myers rejected Robertson's musical advances, eventually she gave in and agreed to give him a chance.

Within weeks the two were musically inseparable and involved in an (arguably unhealthy) co-dependant friendship. After playing for months under the name, "Gordon and Katy," the two recorded an album, re-named the band, and recruited Chelsea Heck on vocals and Miguel White on drums. The four-piece creates a sound that rises and falls in harmony with the spirit of Robertson's angst-filled lyrics.
