Five Minutes With: Psych Pop Trio Lesbian Speed Dating

Lesbian Speed Dating is a Montreal-based psychedelic pop trio where female vocals are at the heart of the musical experience. Composed of Lita Kira (vocals and bass), Seb Thorel (bass), and Thomas Simon Saddier (synth and sitar), the band creates a universe that is both melodic and hypnotic, featuring captivating vocal harmonies and rich sonic textures.

Their music draws inspiration from rock and psychedelic pop icons such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Dandy Warhols, and The Velvet Underground, blending classic influences with a contemporary approach. Following their acclaimed debut album, Post Hippie Modern Symphonie (2023, Paroisse Records, Switzerland), the trio releases their second album, It’s Hard to Said Goodbye with Acid (Pako Music Records, Italy), an eleven-track journey—including two instrumentals—between enchanting melodies and psychedelic atmospheres.

With a signature style where the female voice leads the way, Lesbian Speed Dating establishes itself as a unique creative force in the psychedelic scene, offering subtly experimental pop that captivates through both energy and sensitivity.
