LAPÊCHE is singer and guitarist Krista Diem, her husband and bassist Dave Diem, guitarist Drew DeMaio and drummer Richard Salino. The band fuses purposeful melody with sonic backdrops inspired by indie-alternative aesthetics and DIY ethics.
As they’ve bloomed from a singer with a backing band to a full-blown collaboration, their songs have found the power to dive deep while shining brightly, pushing toward personal growth as we collectively stare down the void.
LAPÊCHE is in the later stages of work on their next LP with Grammy-nominated Producer & Engineer Alex Newport (City & Colour, Death Cab For Cutie, At The Drive-In). The band has stayed busy between album cycles, connecting with others and supporting causes important to each member; all while virtually demoing new tunes.
LAPÊCHE has recently toured with Jawbox (Dischord/Atlantic) as direct support in Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Washington, D.C. and has previously played with J. Robbins Band, Torche, Russian Baths, Do Make Say Think, The Cave Singers, Erica Frias, Lauren Denitzio, Deadaires and more. Past plays at Sing Out Loud Festival (St. Augustine, FL) and The Fest (multiple occasions). They also toured the East Coast/SE/Midwest last Fall w/Nervous Dater (Counter Intuitive) and did regional dates with Chamberlain this Spring.
LAPÊCHE's second LP, Blood in the Water received super positive press coverage in Under The Radar, Brooklyn Vegan, New Noise, Talkhouse (a conversation with J. Robbins) + more - with "Oliver," “Finally Trying," "Bells" and "Elbow Grease" appearing on 13 different Spotify Editorial Playlists resulting in very active listener base and fan retention.
