artist Lotus Child

Lotus Child was born when Zachary Gray and Tom Dobrzanski met in a touring choir as teenagers, becoming friends while killing time in the green room before concerts on a tour of Europe. As years went by they started drawing more and more from bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley, and Muse; and so began the search for other members. After hitting it off with music student Peter Carruthers on bass and perpetual student/down-at-heels golfing phenom Miles Bruce on drums, suddenly they had a band on their hands. Lotus Child recorded their first album, a self-titled EP, in the transformed guest room of Tom's basement. Club owners were impressed, and Lotus Child set out to take on Vancouver, scoring regular sell-outs at Mesa Luna Nightclub, The Backstage Lounge, and The Media Club. Audience reaction was overwhelming to Lotus Child’s sophisticated brand of indie pop-rock; seemingly overnight they were being hyped by youthful masses across Canada. With their electrifying live show and a battery of new material, Lotus Child is poised to dominate indie clubs and airwaves throughout the continent. Morale is justifiably high these days at the Lotus Child camp, and when asked about the gruelling schedule the year has become, Gray is philosophical. “Everything’s fallen into place pretty well for us, so I don’t think you could call it gruelling, necessarily. Um…I mean yeah. We’re robots.”
