Lakeside X is an indie-electro-rock formation whose production is far beyond the frontiers of their homeland. Since 2005 the band consists of singer Janne Marvannen, keyboard player Robert Broj, drummer I.G. Dvorsky and Vito Hayek on guitar. "Dark visions veiled under the modern electro-sound and spiced up with live instruments" - very accurate if trying to describe their production in words. Their studio works are full of depth, sensuality and journeys into the unearthly corners of one's mind that is in direct contrast with their live performances that are full of energy and sexual joy - in other words, a true hypnotic experience that is bound to leave you bewildered for quite some time- and if that wasn't enough, add the carefuly crafted film projections to suite the individual song themes.
"Touring is the part all of us enjoy the most", explains Janne, "You know, seeing fans singing with me, being on the same wave and just being part of the whole thing - that is something you have to appreciate", he adds and indeed this is what Lakeside X on stage are about.
Since the 2004 debut 'Sunrise' was released on the much respected czech label 'X Production' (home to artists like The Nihilists, IAMX, Skyline and others), the band has seen tremendous improvements in all directions. Whether it is the growing fan base, successful tour throughout the whole 2007 after release of their second album “EXIT:NOWhere” (out may 2007), numerous festival appearances or the now solid and respected position in the czech indie scene, all adds up to lively carrier this 4-piece is destined for.
It's no secret that Lakeside X are probably more known outside their home country. Having fans in countries like United Kingdom (debut album 'Sunrise' reached No.5 on the MusicNonStop sales chart), United States, Germany and even more exotic places such as Peru (band has been awarded a 'Band Of The Week' status at the Lima based KOOL ROCK Radio) or Mexico - album reviews appearing on various music related servers in Spain, Greece, Finland, Poland and others - those are ultimately signs of growing interest in the band.
The band was touring hard during the successful year 2007. Within their “EXIT TOUR 2007”, Lakeside X played in the renowned clubs, such as RockCafe, Roxy or Palace Akropolis, as well as at major Czech festivals. The band also appeared as a special guest at IAMX concert in Brno, Fleda. A special photobook/tour diary containing over 50 pages was released as a gift for the fans to see the backstage of band’s life.
In 2008 the band made several steps ahead – their single „Anywhere“ became the official anthem of Creamfields Central Europe festival and the band appeared there on stage as well. Within the year, the band went on collecting new supporters by appearance on other major festivals and by the end of the year, Lakeside X have started to work on their third release planned for later spring 2009.
