About the Artist
Austin-based, by way of Dallas, Indie quartet Luna Luna has bested the local climate and bent the scorching Texas sun to their will across emotion-drenched, euphoric throwback synth-pop grooves. Originally the sole project of Colombian-born, Dallas-bred Kavvi Gonzalez, Luna Luna has expanded into a four-piece through serendipitous meetings that now includes Danny Bonilla (vocals/keys), Kaylin Martinez (drums) and Ryan “Gordo” Gordon (bass/backup vocals). From being drawn together by performing house parties across Texas to now lighting up stages of renowned venues like the Historic Ford theater in LA, festivals like Austin City Limits and opening for acts like Omar Apollo, Luna Luna has earned a reputation of perpetually building up a passionate fan base eager to turn up, swoon, and slow dance. Their 2018 shimmering debut EP release For Lovers Only, combined the innocence of teenage love with dreamy retro synth-pop, while their 2021 debut LP Flower Moon put their kinetic friendship on full display and built around the original idea of a lost boy turning to the moon for answers. They now return in 2023 with a refined vision and new music, like singles “Dance With U” and “Solo Tu,” that move their direction towards a fresh sound for the band that takes them from bedroom pop to the dancefloor. Starting the year being named one of Rolling Stones “Latin Bands to Break Big in 2023,” they have also garnered praise from additional tastemaker media like Billboard, PEOPLE, NPR, OFFICE, Paper, FLOOD, Earmilk and REMEZCLA, to editorial playlisting like Spotify’s New Music Friday, Clash and Latin X Rising. Their growing following also includes a coveted Audiotree session, an 94K following on Tik Tok and brand partnerships with Jack Daniels and Alvies Boots, marking them as one of the buzziest acts today with key players taking notice.
