Lounging at the Loons with Duchess Swift and I Am The Light

Lounging at the Loons is all about providing a space for original artists to share their work and for people to kick back, pull up a chair or couch, grab a local brew and enjoy! So kick off the festive season with the awesome sounds of:

I Am The Light:
From ska & pop-punk to hardcore bands comes the solo project of Malisa Palalagi. Originally a bass-player, the 27 year old Christchurch native has switched to playing guitar and singing songs that can only be described as refreshing, catchy and fun. Influenced by blues, jazz, funk, rockabilly and hip hop, this up and coming act will leave you with her songs humming in your head. Having played numerous centres in New Zealand since 2008, I Am The Light will be sharing her music live to audiences overseas in 2011. A second EP is on the way with a fresh batch of new energetic songs.

Duchess Swift:
Fronted by "fluid, unique vocals" and backed by a tight, swanky collection of musos, the Duchess Swift sound has been described as "jazz/blues/pop fusion". Songs are peppered with themes of masquerades, emergence, forbidden love, ghosts, goblins and relevant offspring. Having recently recorded their first EP, 2011 will see the creation of their first album and national tour.
