Meet The Band Famous, a group of talented artists, musicians, and developers. They make art, music, and mobile apps—meaning, not only are they making the music, but they also bring it to you. Founded in July 2013 by key members Zander and Norell, the band includes regular contributing members “The Man” and “The Man Behind the Man Behind the Machine,” to name a few. Their music has often been compared to the likes of Björk, Muse, St. Vincent, and The Knife, with lead singer Norell nicknamed “Miss Björk Against the Machine.”
The Band Famous has gained recognition from celebrity designer Emre Erturk, along with Special Agent G of Emergency Broadcast Network, and Greg Deocampo, cofounder of Adobe After Effects and the Hoverboard Program.
Now The Band Famous is pushing it to the next level, recently launching a Kickstarter campaign to help with expenses to port their iOS app—The Band Famous—to Android; finish their 2nd album “Awakening”; film a music video; and give it all to the world! www.youtube.com
Here’s what Norell, the lead singer, has to say:
