Aitis Band

Often described as bizarre and unlistenable, AITIS BAND effortlessly knocks out brilliant & intuitive pop jams best experienced with sound proofing headphones and a tight blindfold. (like Samhain but quiet) Aitis Band is a combination of haunted houses and that’s what she said jokes. The trio’s funny, morbid, lyric-driven songs literally report on what she said and how scary it was. Since 2019 former Joan of Arc members Bobby Burg (Love of Everything) and Melina Ausikaitis continue their collaboration with the addition of visual artist/musician Ray Borchers. Aitis Band indulge their love of clubbing, teen girl-ness, and tragic figures, both real and imagined, with songs that range from wistful ballads to anthemic noise-fests. They hang in a purgatory between too much art school and just enough 80’s night. Ausikaitis’ vocals slide easily into a funereal bath water that Burg and Borchers slowly turn up to a boil.
