Blownload

A staple of the Northern California industrial music scene since 1990, Erie Loch, sole song and lyric writer and multi-instrumentalist of Coldwave legends, LUXT, has been blasting out cross-hybrid blends of electronic based mayhem with the band Blownload across the globe and touring across the country to obsessed fans since 2004. Mixing industrial, metal, punk, polka, vaudeville, reggae and a ton of other styles into a hard hitting, entertaining and wild mix of original and fresh musical debauchery. Lyrically extreme, satirically biting and even musically soulful at times, Blownload's ability to inject new life into the underground scene is only paralleled by their legendarily crazed and intense live shows and dedicated work ethic.

Erie's diverse and efficient skills in the studio have been showcased in recent years. After a slew of remix work for industrial monsters Blownload's style has moved closer and closer towards Erie's more electronic roots.

Recently, Erie has become a member of the industrial super-group Primitive Race, featuring Dave Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy), Raymond Watts (KMFDM), Chris Vrenna (NIN, Marilyn Manson), Graham Crabb (PWEI), Mark Thwaite (Peter Murphy) and Luc Van Acker (Revco).

Blownload also features Crash MF, bass player of Luxt, who together with Erie has played over 600 live shows. This touring powerhouse lives to play live, promote and work hard.
