Vox Rea - Interview (Portside Live™ Concert & Interview Series)

ABOUT VOX REA:
Vox Rea consists of two sisters, Kate Kurdyak and Lauren Kurdyak. The duo supplies a soundtrack to the confusion and euphoria of coming of age in a postmodern world. Citing influences that range from Florence and the Machine to Friedrich Nietzsche, the band draws inspiration from a mix of nostalgia for times past and life in a modern day world in turmoil.
The name Vox Rea is intentionally ambiguous allowing for an identity beyond the stereotype of being labelled a “girl-band” and represents the reclamation of the artists’ creative control. Every part of the project - the music, the image, and the message - is created by the band. Vox Rea focuses on art as an experience as opposed to a product and their music chronicles the odyssey of a group of artists trying to come to terms with their generation’s place in the human story. Themes of addiction, self-doubt, lust, identity, independence and grief form the undercurrent of lyrics that are deeply introspective. Hell bent on creating a meaningful life amidst the siren songs of consumerism and efficiency, Vox Rea believes in the revolutionary power of art.
