November 12, 2009 [email protected] 5 Music in shades of Black and Gold New York boys bring their heartfelt lyrics and shiny upbeat music to the Troubadour and take time to express their views and hopes for the music industry

By brittny Ulate Daily Titan Detour Editor [email protected]

Within the battlefield of the music industry, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find an up-and-coming band that you can actually stand behind and support. Enter Black Gold to save the day. Pop-heavy and commercial-listener friendly, the boys of Black Gold, primarily Than Luu and Eric Ronick, have been busy making sure their sound is heard across the country. The pair have been doing so with the release of their album Rush and their seemingly non-stop touring. Recently opening for the Pixies and currently on a nationwide tour, the Manhattan-based band made a stop in Los Angeles Nov. 1 at the Troubadour where the Daily Titan had a chance to speak with Luu about the band and the music scene as it stands now. Black Gold is one of those bands that you can’t quite place in a box, and the guys are happy about that. Not quick to label themselves, they play a mix of pop with some electronic sounds mixed in just for fun – fun they clearly demonstrate when they are on the stage. It definitely is refreshing to not have a clear picture of what Black Gold can be labeled as. They don’t really sound like anything that is heard right now, and Luu readily admits he doesn’t look much to his peers for inspiration. “I pick and choose from older sources. Current music is good, but you have to be honest. It doesn’t hold a candle to the old shit. There was more artistry, more soul, less corporate influence,” Luu said. It is this lack of corporate influence on the band that allows them to ex- periment and play around with sounds, making them even harder to place on the genre spectrum. Luu admits a lot of their success has to do with the right mix of musicians. Collaboration seems be the key to success for Black Gold. Luu, who has worked with artists such as M. Ward and Rachael Yamagata, photos By Ron Fu/Daily Titan Staff Photographer believes the band has found a successful combination with the musicians Above: Than Luu on drums and Eric Ronick on keyboard and leading vocals create the pair known as Black Gold.

Their song “Plans & Reveries” was featured on performance put on by the band at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on Nov. 1. a recent episode of the show One Tree Hill on the CW. Hopefully, with this It might be these ideals that make the band so unique and thrilling to story of the origin of their name. type of exposure, the band will be able to play more dates and share their watch live. “We came up with the idea of contrasts – like dark lyrics with the verses music and philosophy with more listeners.

This idea blends in with the on every stage they occupy. Novemeber 12, 2009 DETOUR 6
