The Loyal We are Kate Sikora and Lindsay Lueders, two gifted twenty-somethings from America who met in Japan and formed a magical and musical friendship. While both Kate and Lindsay have solo albums, they recently released their debut as a duo in Japan on January 20. It’s called Homes and it’s a rare combination of catchy and earthy. With minimal instrumentation, these resourceful girls produce noteworthy rock ‘n’ roll. Their musical styles are different, but disjointed The Loyal We is not. Where Kate is edgy, Lindsay is refined, and they happily combined their strengths to create tracks that range from airy and somber to fast and melodic. Though no song is overly optimistic, they reveal the often overlooked possibilities that exist when you’ve got your feet are on the ground. In short, The Loyal We are royally awesome!
You can listen to their songs on their label’s website. www.contrarede.com
You can also check them out on MySpace.

Bio
Lindsay Lueders and Kate Sikora met in Tokyo in 2005. Previously, Kate had been playing music solo and sometimes with a backing band in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia.. since 1998. She had just released her debut album, "Grace in Rotation" when she moved to Japan. Lindsay, from Minnesota, was 1/3 of the Bracelets, an indie alt country band from her college days in Madison, WI. Although they came to Japan separately and for different reasons, they soon found they had a shared love of freak folk, alt country, toy instruments, oldies, colorful pantyhose... The Loyal We started out as a fun side-project among the two friends but soon gathered popularity within the indie music scene in Tokyo. They caught the attention of Contrarede, a growing Japanese label, who released their debut cd "Homes" in January of 2010. The Loyal We has toured with One One (members of Deerhoof and Tenniscoats), opened for Why? Anticon, and has graced many a stage across Japan. Their song, "Box is a Rocket," was featured in indie film maker, Momoko Ando's, debut film, "Kakera." Now, the duo are located both in New York and in Tokyo and will continue to travel between the two cities or wherever their music takes them.
