Blue Luster

Blue Luster is the perfect blend of high-energy rock and fist pounding metal.  Based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, Blue Luster's music captures the ferocity of Iron Maiden, the catchiness of KISS, the riffage of Van Halen, and the melody of Led Zeppelin. On top of this, Blue Luster has a sound all their own that acts as a breath of fresh air in the seemingly stagnant current rock scene.

1.1.2010 Blue Luster Tears Up The Vogue

2010 couldn't have started any better for Blue Luster. Over 600 people came out the day after New Years Eve and witnessed a skull crushing, fist pumping, display of pure rock and roll energy. Blue Luster wants to thank all the fans who came to the show and made the night extra special. Promoters and concert goers who hadn't heard the band before were blown away from the first chord to the last drum hit. There couldn't of been a better line up of local bands that played that night. Lady Moon, The Max Allen Band, and The Twin Cats were all at the top of their game and sounded amazing. Blue Luster wants to thank all of them for being super polite and accepting these new guys who played a little different brand of music. Pics and videos from the show are now availble on the media section. More fun stuff to be added to the website this year. Stay tuned Metal Maniacs!
