Lightning Bug Booking Agency Profile
New York-based Lightning Bug create a sound that is reminiscent of the early 4AD catalog while also modernizing it with shoegaze texture, dreamy production and mystical electronics. The band, fronted by vocalist and main songwriter Audrey Kang, operated independently for a long, releasing their music largely undercover, before gaining greater attention with the release of their albums October Song and A Color of the Sky.
Kang created Lightning Bug in New York with the aid of her friends Kevin Copeland and Logan Miley, who helped her to complete her hazy dream pop compositions. A few of the band's tracks were shared online and then their first album Floaters was quietly released not long after. Despite its modest release, the album gained a cult following and favorable publicity, which led to several live performances in the UK. The band then put out a four-song EP called the pain of love two years later. After signing a contract with Fat Possum Records, Lightning Bug re-released the album to a larger audience..

The final Lightning Bug booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Lightning Bug charge for an event. An example fee to book Lightning Bug is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Lightning Bug agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Lightning Bug manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Lightning Bug for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Lightning Bug agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Lightning Bug, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Lightning Bug booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Lightning Bug, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
