Danny Painter & Meggie Wiggins
* about us *
In the beginning . . .
When
Danny Painter and Meggie Wiggins of lost2gether, collided three
short years ago, they knew that they were seeing physics at
work. lost2gether is a collision of two molten, swirling, and
hurtling worlds. Meg is this beautiful, tragic, yearning, hopeful
and broken eighteen year old with a soul as old as the heavens
and a voice that proves it. Her music is so beautiful it is
unknowable. Danny is older in his sorrow, roots and joy, leaving
him a little unsteady when he dances on the tip of a pen. Consequently,
he trips on things in his path - guitars, mimes, Neruda and
Rimbaud - whatever’s lying around. His music is unimaginable.
These two worlds are now one and the music from this new world
will astound you. Physics says so.

And 2 became 5. . .
We
were 2. And we were lost. lost2gether. But we were cold. So
we set a little music on fire at three performances at the 2007
SXSW Music Festival and the 2006 Songwriters Series in Austin.
But, when we still felt a little chilly, we decided to invite
four friends to fan the flames. That fire burned the whole town
down at our sold out album release party at the University of
Houston. With that, we raised $1,500 to benefit The Peace of
Mind Foundation, a Houston based Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Foundation. Now, we’re looking to light you up, too. You
better have a fire extinguisher on hand, because our original
mix of rock, grunge, folk and country is white hot. Think Bob
Dylan, Nirvana, Janis Joplin, Neil Young, and Alanis Morissette
rolled into one big blaze just looking for the next place to
heat up. The band lives in the Houston area and catches fire
on a regular basis.
