Shox Lumania was a theatrical new-wave band formed in early 1980s New York by Lari Shox, with music composed by Man Parrish. The band was known for its elaborate performances, drawing inspiration from artists like Klaus Nomi. Their concept revolved around being from "Lumania," a pre-Atlantis civilization with mastery over time travel and dimensional shifts. The lineup included Stephanie Kaye and Anton Sanko, who later collaborated with Suzanne Vega. Shox Lumania's dynamic shows attracted notable figures such as David Bowie and Devo. Their live performance at the Peppermint Lounge was among the first releases on the RIOR label. ([flickr.com](https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcarrithers/3962748918?utm_source=openai))
