Radio K presents LOOKBOOK EP Release Show
LOOKBOOK
Lookbook was formed in mid-2008 by Maggie Morrison (Digitata) and Grant Cutler (Passions, Tomhanks) in Minneapolis. Combining Cutler’s sparkling, synth-laden sounds and sparse guitar with Morrison’s Pat Benatar-meets-Chrissie Hynde vocals, the band garnered rave reviews and an energetic following for a sound that’s at once familiar and unique. Though the band counts Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins as inspiration, Lookbook’s new-old electro sound has found critical acclaim for its leaner, more minimalist take on ‘80s new wave.

The critically-acclaimed band was named “Picked to Click” in 2008 and “Best New Band” in 2009 by Village Voice-owned weekly Twin Cities publication City Pages; has opened for the likes of Junior Boys, Tapes ‘N Tapes, and Solid Gold; and is receiving regular rotation on Twin Cities-based NPR station 89.3 The Current. Most recently, its song “True to Form” was written up on Pitchfork.
GIGAMESH
Gigamesh is the stage name of Matt Masurka, an American multi-platinum selling music producer and DJ. Most recognized for his remix work, he has experienced a swiftly building reputation as one of the most versatile and consistent names in indie-dance music. Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota (a.k.a. Prince’s hometown and the city that inspired Funkytown), it is no surprise Gigamesh has developed a keen taste for disco and 80′s electro-boogie. The sound is immediately recognizable in much of his music, however he maintains a flexible aesthetic.
