about
Lit By Lightning was a California East Bay band formed in 2008 by the merging of two existing Bay Area bands, the Grace Woods Trio and Vanessa Van Spall. Both prior bands were largely piano driven pop, but whereas the Grace Woods Trio had jazz and theater influences and Vanessa Van Spall had more singer-songwriter roots, Lit By Lightning had a more driven and upbeat pop appeal, adding electric guitar and lush synth layers to the mix, giving the band a more power pop and dance edge. The band met a premature demise due to personnel conflicts and irreconcilable views on the evolving vision of the band. Band members were: Grace Woods (vocals, synths), Vanessa Van Spall (vocals, percussion), Joe Hickey (bass, guitars, vocals), Whitney Jacobson (drums) and Ian Hisert (piano, synths) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
