The Luyas
The Luyas are a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2006 from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
History
The Luyas did their first live performance in December 2006. Their first album, Faker Death came out in August 2007, and was re-released in January 2008 on Pome Records; that label was subsequently disbanded and the album's distribution rights were picked up by You've Changed Records.
Jessie Stein, formerly active in SS Cardiacs, is also a member of Miracle Fortress, and is the sister of By Divine Right's José Miguel Contreras. Amato and Schneider are both members of Bell Orchestre, Amato also plays in Torngat and was formerly a horn player for Arcade Fire.
The band played at the Pop Montreal festival in 2008 and the M for Montreal Festival in 2009.
The band uses an uncommon set of instruments featuring guitars, a French horn, piles of keyboards, drums and percussion. Singer/guitarist Jessie Stein expands the band’s musical vocabulary when she plays the Moodswinger, a 12-string electric zither designed by the Dutch experimental luthier Yuri Landman. The band became a four piece band with the addition of Mathieu Charbonneau in their line-up.

Liberty Ship
by: The La'sI am the toiler the old ship-slave
I stoke the fire that keep you brave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the voyager of the ocean grey
I wayfarer see fairway
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the sailor - the ocean slave
Fill your sail with the breath I gave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the captain of the love brigade
With every breath I am your slave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
..sail away on an ocean wave
..sail away on the airwaves
