‘Lui Surreal & THE GATEKEEPERS’, AKA ‘LS.GATEKEEPER’, burst onto the NL scene in early 2024, unleashing their unbounded energy and raw emotion through high-octane live sets. Departing from punk, they boldly hybridize elements of hardcore and emo, creating a sonic landscape that’s as chaotic as it is cathartic.
Fronted by screeching Brit vocals that pierce through a relentless wall of noise, driven by distorted riffs and D-beat drums. Amidst the storm, there are moments of serene beauty and emotional introspection. Transitioning seamlessly, the band delves into calmer territories where a deep sensual voice takes center stage. This dynamic interplay of high energy and intimate moments forges a profound connection with a diverse range of listeners.

Lui’s stage presence is dramatic and open, often forming bridges with the audience between songs. Each member has been in several bands and brings their own unique energy, skill and approach, harmonizing on stage into something both nostalgic and new. Their sets take audiences on an unhinged journey through peaks of intensity and valleys of vulnerability, navigating the complexities of love and addiction with unapologetic authenticity.
