BIOGRAPHY
Typically Staton
Energetic pop-rock: optimistic, hysterical, but at the same time dark,with a sharp and sometimes cynical edge. Since their launch in 2010 Staton has appeared on stage for approximately 140 live performances in the Netherlands. In the past 1,5 years the band has matured, developing their unique sound and lyrics.
Inspiration
Living in Amsterdam’s red light district worked as an inspiration for lead singer Lara. Her fascination led Lara to write the songs like Dark Side of the City, Cocktails, Burning Man and Riot. In these songs Lara explores the different sides of the red light district. Living in the area, Lara realised that it is not only a dark and tragic place. She discovered humor and mystery. Do we really know what happens behind those closed curtains?

In 2013 Staton is working hard on their second album. Producers Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, R.E.M.,Big Star) and J.B Meijers (Go back to the Zoo, De Dijk) signed on for production and mix. Stringfellow and Meijers challenged the band to find a more edgy sound and bring more depth into their lyrics. Taking on this challenge tested the band: sometimes maturing and growing means breaking though barriers and at times, killing your own darlings. But, the challenge of stepping out of their comfort zone has proven to be effective, resulting in a new level of fireworks in Statons live and studio performances.
Live
On stage Staton tells a story in its own unique style. Lead vocalist Lara sings, screams, whispers and everything in between. Her vocals are completed by the rhythmic, sometimes soothing, but always tight drums by Niels Nuiver and the big and funky bass by Luc Pustjens. Intense and occasionally snotty guitar by Rutger Martens and distinct, organics sounds mixed with hard ragged synths by Tijn Driessen complete the picture.
