"Not only will it be a great addition to our growing catalog of fantastic live shows taped for television but filming lovelytheband for Front and Center as part of David's film is going to be special. It ties in the band, the film and our show, all of which are hitting highs right now," added Maggi. "How cool is that? Front and Center, where else would you rather be?"

ABOUT LOVELYTHEBAND
Alt-pop band lovelytheband translate emotions, anxieties, and feelings into lush, layered, and lively indie pop anthems. When the band was founded by lead singer Mitchy Collins, guitarist Jordan Greenwald and drummer Sam Price in 2017, the trio maintain a lasting connection to listeners by holding nothing back. A centerpiece of the band's debut EP everything I could never say…, the group's debut single "broken" caught fire. BuzzFeed summed it up as "So. Damn. Good." Billboard proclaimed the group among "10 Rock & Alternative Artists to Watch in 2018" as they supported Vance Joy, AWOLNATION and 5 Seconds of Summer on tour between headlining dates everywhere. Everything paved the way for the arrival of the band's first full-length, finding it hard to smile [RED MUSIC]. Produced by "broken" collaborator Christian Medice, mixed, and mastered by Charlie Park, these 16 tracks entrance, engage, and enchant, offsetting shimmering keys, sweeping synths, and spacey guitars with cathartic, compelling, and catchy choruses. The title speaks directly to its thematic push-and-pull. lovelytheband's voice will only get dramatically louder and it might just make crowds feel better, too, in 2019.
