ABOUT US

Licking Rainbows, an explosive duo formed in 2020, deliver raw, energetic rock, where cutting riffs and soaring harmonies blend in a psychedelic garage vibe tinged with punk. It’s on stage that the band reveals all its power, transporting the audience into a state of total release thanks to their furious, infectious energy. After two highly acclaimed EPs (burp. and Rainbows Avenue), the power-duo, still accompanied on stage by a drummer, have been playing a string of festivals in Switzerland (Rock’R’Sauvage, Rock Am Wind, Parabôle Festival, Son du Bourg, etc.), where they have not gone unnoticed. Good news: new tracks are in the pipeline. Expect more intense live performances!

Livio Arcuri
Born in 1997, Livio was born and raised in Yverdon-les-Bains. He had his first experiences with music there. Surrounded by music-loving parents, music was often present in the home. He learned the basics of guitar from his father and received his first guitar at the age of 10. Two years later, Livio began taking classical guitar lessons and quickly developed a habit of playing every day at home. Later, at the age of 13-14, after forming a group of musician friends, he joined his first band as a bassist. While continuing to take classical guitar lessons, Livio played electric guitar and bass on the side with his friends. With this group, he had his first experiences with the stage and the studio. It became clear when he entered high school that he wanted to make music his life. In addition to his band, he spent every weekend playing with friends. During his adolescence, Livio's passion for music, particularly rock, grew. His style and musical tastes developed. When his first band disbanded, he began his studies at a music school and spent a great deal of time in Lausanne. It was during this time that he decided to form Licking Rainbows with two close friends. With this project, he allowed his creativity to take center stage. He started writing more and more songs and took on the role of lead vocalist. With this lineup, his songwriting and playing also evolved. Devoting himself exclusively to music for several years now, Livio's style has refined, and he has become more and more comfortable on stage. While he devotes a lot of time to Licking Rainbows, he also plays with other bands, continuing to develop and expand his musical curiosity.

Kilian Zompa
Kilian was born in 1996 in Yverdon-les-Bains. He was exposed to music from a young age thanks to his parents, who introduced him to many artists, including hard rock and blues from the Italian scene. He discovered his passion when he first encountered the guitar at the age of 9. From that moment, he began taking lessons, starting with classical guitar and later transitioning to electric. At the age of 16, he joined his first band with three other musician friends. It was his first experience with the stage and the studio. In parallel, he spent his weekends jamming with other musicians in the rehearsal space. This allowed him to focus more on rock music and refine his guitar playing. Playing his music in front of an audience made it clear to him that this is what he wanted to do with his life. It was a major turning point for him. When his first band disbanded, he found himself without a group for a while, which allowed him to explore other styles that he immediately appreciated. He joined a pop/funk-oriented band composed of professional musicians. With them, he experimented with new sounds, blending blues, funk, and ambient elements. He continued to perform on stage and recorded an album with them. However, one desire remained in his mind: to form the rock band he had always dreamed of. That's when he decided to leave that formation and create Licking Rainbows with two close friends. This new group allowed him to collaborate with friends who shared the same tastes and ideas, enriching his musical knowledge and fueling his desire to move forward.
