Land
"Land" is a solo project of the guitar based Lithuanian songwriter/singer Rod K. The music of "Land" could be classified as contemporary pop/rock with an alternative twist. The lyrics are written around anti-militaristic, social, philosophical and even romantic themes, often co-written with Rod's Icelandic friend Odinn Albertsson and British musician-songwriter Jan Bedford.
The line-up of "Land" is Rod K - vocal / guitars, Donatas Ferensas as the bass player, drummer Rytis Rutkauskas and Darius Uscila on keyboards: In 2004 "Land" took part in the "Baltic New Music Chart" contest, organized by the by well known Latvian musician and producer Maris Zigats. In this 2004/2005 season of the contest, "Land" won 3rd place with the popular song "You Take The Waters". Later, this same song got heavy airplay in Lithuania and Latvia. "You Take The Waters" was forwarded by the world's leading independent A&R company 'Taxi' directly to the hands of music supervisors of several Hollywood music, film and TV companies. A promotional video for the song was shot and broadcast on the Baltic music TV channels.
The debut album called "You Take The Waters" was released in Rod's homeland on July 18th 2005 and got quickly sold out. In 2007 "Land" worked on an international trio song called "Advent Of Angels". The project was initiated by Rod K who wrote the song and lyrics. Rod invited two popular singers to participate and add their voices and character to the song along with his own vocals. The participatns are Friðrik Ómar from Iceland and Isaac Lim from Malaysia. These three singers never met in person, just online. Advent Of Angels" is the first international pop/rock trio project in Lithuania ever. The song has a strong ethical and anti-war message. It entered in Latvia's biggest radio station SWH "Top 20", got aired on Estonian RAADIO-2, stayed for a long time in Lithuania's RADIOCENTRAS chart "Lietuvos Top 20" and even reached 1 position in FM99 "TOP-33"! The promotional video was shot and aired on the Lithuanian music TV channels.
At the moment "Land" is preparing for performing at the biggest music festivals in Baltic States: 5. July - "Fontaine Festival 2008" (Liepaja, LV)) 18. July - "Positivus AB Festival 2008" (Riga, LV) 17. August - "Be2gether Festival 2008" (Norvilishkes,LT)
Although the band is currently working on their new original material for the forthcoming second album, it is eager and ready to perform! On the 1st of June 2008, "LAND" signed a worldwide publishing deal with UNIVERSAL Music Publishing Group Turkey on the singles "Advent of Angels" and "You take the Waters"!
