There comes a time where every man must dust himself off, and climb back on the jittery horse. In helping to form Loza, Jason House (Pave the Rocket, Ghost in Light, Riddle of Steel) and Ken Wilson (Pave the Rocket, Keyop) did just that, by first getting together and exchanging ideas in the spring of 2008, and spending some afternoons knocking off the cobwebs together in Ken's south side St. Louis row house. Shortly thereafter, Andy Colligan (Ghost in Light, Space Age Palmer) was approached by Jason, and the trio began practicing in Andy's south side basement. With zero expectations and no willingness to tour in an attempt to mold the band into a promotional machine, they practiced 1-2 times a week for over a year before even booking their first show.
Musically, Loza offers smooth sonic blasts of lush reverb-ey guitars over beds of erie keyboards, propelled by the pulsing downbeat of the drums and bass. The resulting mix can be a hypnotizing and sometimes surreal experience for the listener.
The St. Louis based band is recording their debut full length with Gary Copeland at South-Fi Analog Studio, within the haunted basement of Smith/Lee Productions. The trio will release the record in early 2013 under the auspice of their own record label.
