The band of poets, Los Lorcas from Vermont, USA, blur boundaries between spoken word and song, weaving poetry with Andalusian ballads, blues, rock, folk, reggae, hip hop, Americana and jazz in pursuit of the cante jondo (deep song) Federico García Lorca, the band’s namesake, ardently championed.
Web Design: Los Lorcas came to me for a total redesign of their website, choosing vibrant colours taken from Spanish tiles as the basis for the design. The site needed to play audio, video and showcase the award-winning poetry written by two of the band members. Building this site was a great opportunity to mix being creative with developing an easy content management system for keeping gig lists, poetry and reviews up to date. The site is of a landing site style, with several sections leading off to more detailed pages such as band member bios and poetry pages.
Automations: The site is integrated with Bands In Town, an online tool for publishing gigs on websites, social media and email newsletters, along with collecting fans’ emails to build the band’s list.
