Lyonnais is an experimental rock band based out of Atlanta, Georgia. The band consists of Farbod Kokabi, Farzad Moghaddam, Lee Tesche, and TJ Blake.
Tesche is a founding member of the band Algiers, while Kokabi and Moghaddam run the Geographic North record label. Blake is a member of Lotus Plaza's touring band, the solo project of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt.[1]
Background[edit]
Lyonnais formed in 2008 after Kokabi and Moghaddam watched a Rhys Chatham performance together and set about trying to fill a void in the experimental Atlanta music scene".[2] Tesche and Blake were later added to the line-up, fleshing the band out. The band spent their first three years performing dates with Deerhunter, Windy & Carl, Lightning Bolt, Zach Hill, Grouper, and members of Animal Collective[3][4] while being named to Creative Loafing's Best of Atlanta list each year from 2009 to 2011.[5][6] They released their debut Want For Wish For Nowhere on Geographic North in 2011. Want For Wish For Nowhere and "The Fatalist" were both listed on Pitchfork's Guestlist: Best of 2011.[7]
