Female-fronted Russian hard rockers LOUNA are proud to team up with VEVO to bring fans their brand new, eye-opening music video for the track "Up There", cut from their most recent full-length release, Behind a Mask. The music video is directed by Svyatoslav Podgaevsky with STG Cinema. Take a look at the video HERE. LOUNA is the first ever Russian rock band to have a VEVO channel.
"Up There" is intended to enlighten the listener, inviting them to question their surroundings and society. The lyrics of the track mirror the imagery in the video—people of all classes, ages and backgrounds—staring at the sky while nothing but rain pours down on them. People just waiting for a sign, a change, an answer—looking to the clouded sky for help, for light. But sadly, there is no answer. No one there to answer their calls and their cries. The people dream of a better day, but there is no end in sight to the constant oppression, violence, manipulation and deceit being fed to them by those who wish to control them.
LOUNA is currently out on their first U.S. tour with THE PRETTY RECKLESS and HEAVEN'S BASEMENT. LOUNA is pleased to be here in the states to show American fans that outside of all of the oppression and discrimination going on in Russia right now, there are good, real people that want to spread a message of peace and bring people together.
