In August 2008 Lukas Batteau released his first studio recorded EP, produced together with well-known In A Cabin With producer Maarten Besseling and Ravinia Thwaites from RnR. The EP, which was also released on USB-stick, received some great reviews in music magazines like OOR, Musicfrom, and German indie magazine Soundmag.
As of January 2009, Lukas Batteau continues as a band, accompanied by Josine van der Splinter on bass and Berry Vink on drums. As a band, Lukas Batteaus love for many 90s grunge rockbands is being rekindled, as their influence has found its way back into his songs. The band started off this year with shows at TROS Muziekcafé, Paard van Troje podiumcafé, and the Melkweg.
someone who expresses his sadness in beautiful, melancholy guitar songs. His soulful voice makes every song loving, but at the same time heartbreaking and rough.
