Hailing
from Sydney Australia, LUKAS combine elements of Bitpop,
Rock, Indie, Folk and Alternative Rock to fuse a powerful
sound that makes you want to sing, dance, worship, stand
up, nod your head, think and be inspired to make a difference
in the world around you.
Formed in 2004 by Luke Munns, who stepped up from behind
the drum kit of the globally renowned Hillsong UNITED,
the band released their first EP simply entitled ‘Demo’.
This saw the band gain a dedicated international fan
base as the digital downloads went well into the hundreds
of thousands.
The band then began work on the follow up record. Bringing
in the likes of producer Brendan Anthony (who has recorded
INXS, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes, George, Able &
Brianna Carpenter from Australian Idol) and featuring
guest guitarist Michael Guy Chislett (The Academy is,
Butch Walker & Hillsong UNITED) the result was the
highly acclaimed second EP titled ‘You & Me'
(available on iTunes).
The band has forged ahead evolving their sound and live
show which has seen them share the stages with such
diverse acts as MXPX, Switchfoot, Antiskeptic, Angela’s
Dish, The Getaway Plan, Project 86, Guy Sebastian &
Brooke Fraser. Their polished live show and ministry
focus has also taken them to such festivals as Blackstump
Festival, Big Exo Day. Parachute Festival as well as
Hillsong conference.
The boys then took a break to write a record their new
single ‘Shine Your Glory’. Recorded with
the legendary Blair Simmons (who has worked with artists
like Something For Kate and Brooke Fraser) at the mixing
helm the new single speaks about dealing with holding
onto faith as we deal with issues of this world and
through it all find a way to show God’s love,
light and passion to those around us.
