LETTERCAMP
Lettercamp was originally conceptualized in a basement in Cleveland,
Ohio. Frustrated with the inability to persuasively convey to her
peers that she thought melodies and song structures could be written
differently, Liz Wittman decided to start writing those songs herself.
Beginning by composing demos in her parents’ home, honing her skills
in indie pop-rock bands Friendly Foes and Kiddo, and finally stepping
out on her own, Wittman realized it was time for Lettercamp to take
physical form.

Musical influences widely ranging (she makes mention of June Christy,
Refused and Bjork), Wittman describes herself as "a manic music
listener," and having been a member of bands from different genres has
also shaped what Lettercamp has become. Moving to Detroit allowed
Wittman to connect with a new community of musicians. She slowly
patched together a band of talented individuals, each from successful
former Detroit bands: Matt Lannoo (Nice Device, Von Bondies), Derek
Dorey (Millions of Brazilians), and Pan!c (Pas/Cal, Johnny Headband)
all have extensive musical experience, each bringing something
different to the group. Over time, they began to improvise on what
Wittman had laid the foundation for. Now with the addition of Zach
Shipps (Electric Six, Brendan Benson) they write as a full unit,
putting tracks together as a band.

The live show is a different beast altogether, and one that has
already garnered the fledgling band attention. An intricate production
with lights and screens, projections and silhouettes, Lettercamp is
visually captivating and sonically engaging. The music itself is a
combination of a lot of different styles and genres, but is generally
what Wittman would refer to as "electro pop filled with layers of
masterfully architected sounds". It's entirely danceable, undeniably
sexy, and has just the right amount of hooks. Wittman's transformation
from timid girl-next-door to a flirty entertainer is a sight to
behold. While the tracks are downright catchy in recorded form, they
come to life in a very sensual way when witnessed live.

Lettercamp's debut LP, Raccoon Panda, was released digitally on
iTunes, eMusic and Amazon in June of 2010 and by the time the vinyl
had been pressed for a September release, Lettercamp's music had
caught the attention of a number of well-respected musicians who
donated their talents toward a remix EP called Raccoon Panda Redux.
This digital EP features Lettercamp songs remixed by members of Sloan,
LCD Soundsystem, Electric Six, Royal Bangs, K-OS and more.
