LIK..ID (FR)

LIK…ID is a formation of 6 musicians playing an urgent and electric rock with no concessions, far away from the business preoccupations and all that glitters around it. All of this is motivated by determined and committed lyrics of band's vocalist - I.D.O. Since 2006 two LIK...ID's members are endorsing Mayones using 3 our instruments.

LIK…ID: 5 letters to dive in a new atmosphere, a mix of dark and soft, filled with both brutality and melody. 3 dots to take a moment to interpret our view of the world, blackened and poetic, between rock and lyrical songs, metal and trip hop.

Born in 1999, this band from the Yvelines (France) has grown by playing on many French stages, and counts more than 100 concerts, from L’Estaminet to L’Elysée Montmartre, they shared stages with Aqme, Eths, Lofofora, Bad Religion and Nightwish. Their first album “Rien n’est sens” (Musicast), an autoproduction, was sold 2000 copies, LIK…ID became very popular in the world of metal and rock and was commented widely in the music press.

In 2006 the group signed a deal with MVS Records to release their new album “Elevé à la peur” in February 2007. The LP was recorded at the MVS Broadcast Studio in Paris under the direction of the Italian producer Francesco Frilli and then mastered at the Nautilus Studio in Milan (Italy).

LIK...ID is officially cooperating with our company - Cha (the guitar player) and Babar (the bass player) are using our instruments both on stage and in the studio.

The Setius VIN for Cha was delivered with transparent black maple top, ebony fingerboard and Seymour Duncan pickups: aggresive SH-13 for bridge position and classic SH-1 for neck.

"When I saw the Mayones 6-strings of our bass player, I was about to stop playing guitar and take his place in the band, and of course his bass! But he told me that this kind of jewels also existed for guitars: that’s why I tried a Setius VIN and then ordered one!" - says Cha."Now I’m so happy to play so instinctively and easily on this beautiful neck and her body fits so well with mine... I have chosen a Seymour Duncan SH-13 and a SH-1, a combination that allows a great diversity in sounds, in addition to the warm sound of mahogany & flamed maple. Thanks to Sperzel locking tuners and Graph Tech nut this Setius is a perfect stay-in-tune guitar!"
