Urbantramper is a 3 piece electricUTOPIA band from Wellington, New Zealand.
The band features Lake (vocals, bass, keys, etc), Andy Hoy (drums, midi triggers), and Phil Jones (keys, backing vocals, bass, etc).
Internet Freedom is Love is an album dedicated to the sharing of sentiment and ideas across vast distance; Urbantramper's homage to the new poetics of wifi, email, and online chat.
The band has undergone various incarnations since their inception. Their
current line-up sees them leaving the acoustic guitar behind and embracing the
future we forgot. Urbantramper still holds a hope for that future.
Following the release of Rise & Ride Toward in 2010 Urbantramper toured
extensively, performing at festivals and venues in Australia, UK, Europe, Japan
and the US. Lake, lead singer and song-writer, then returned from a songwriting
sojourn in France to re-unite the band and record the new album.
They have recently released the video for their first single, Kate Bush Saved My Life, and are currently shooting the video for their next release, Utopia in Williamsburg.
