THE LUCKSMITHS with Pikelet and Hole & Corner

Sat 21 Mar (Doors 8.30) Tickets: $12+bf ($15 at the door if still available)
Tickets available from NSC Box Office Monday - Saturday 2.00 - 6.00pm (301 High St, Northcote), on 9486 1677 and online.

The Lucksmiths return to NSC off the back of their recent release, ‘First Frost’. Over the course of fifteen years and almost as many albums and international tours, The Lucksmiths have maintained an enviable knack for penning some of the most adoringly hummed songs this side of the pop underground. Happy as ever to cast their rod into exotic waterways for ‘first frost’, The Lucksmiths decamped to Tasmania during the wintertime and found themselves in a rustic shack, working with producer Chris Townsend. Germinating from The Lucksmiths’ well-honed jangly indie/pop/folk sound, the fourteen new songs casually drift off in various directions (touching on glam, fuzzpop, krautrock, shoegaze, country, and even a little classic rock) while their trademark lyrical hooks shine warmer than ever.


At this stage I'm almost sure I'm going (finances permitting) anyone else up for it meet me there!

The words "pop" and "underground" aren't words I usually associate as being together in any way, shape or form...

Ah well, I wouldn't have minded going, but we'll be in the country.

I would not call any of those bands mainstream. Therefore, not pop. And I mean this as a compliment to these bands, even though they might have wanted to be pop.

'pop' means 'popular' about as much as 'R&B' means 'rhythm and blues'

Well, I'd argue that that should not be the case. Modern "R&B" has nothing to do with "rhythm and blues", and "pop" is Britney Spears, as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds like a plan, if I'm not desperate for a night at home by then ;)
