Debut Single “Stay“ dropping on Aug 5th

"Stay" is a song about sudden lost of someone you love. The song rerflects my own experiences, especially for Ellen Loo, an amazing musician who passed away 7 years ago on August 5th at her 32.

“The Cheesiest Band You’ll Ever Be Traumatized By 🫠”

TraumaCheez is a music project based in San Francisco, and led by the indie musician and singer-songwriter Hill Lu. They deliver a potent mix of Alternative Rock, Folk and Punk originals with a darkly humorous yet emotional lyrical edge. Fronted by an energetic, belty vocalist with skillful instrumentalists, their dynamic live sets and undeniable stage energy have been steadily building their reputation in the local scenes.

We generally play fullset full-band gigs every 2 months, plus other random solo restaurant gigs and open mics.

For full-band gigs, we refresh our setlists with new songs and spice up those the audiences love the most. Keeping our audience engaged is always the Cheez’ first priority.
