Lucho
London based outfit Lucho have emerged from their countryside studio, where they have been writing and recording new material, with a twisted direction and a junkyard sound. The band have always played and written Americana/Roots style music heavily informed by folk, country and blues but have now begun to push their boundaries further. With influences ranging from The Band to Tom Waits via Calexico the quirky and idiosyncratic arrangements within each song allow the delicate and emotive melodies space to soar when sung by vocalist and chief songwriter Gary O’ Brien. A Waits style upright piano plays jazzy chords for a heart-breaking ballad one minute while terse, blues-influenced guitar licks snap at the singer’s heels the next and syncopated, hillbilly- drumming turns the time ever so slightly askew – taking the listener to a different time and place.
On stage Lucho are one minute alt. Country stomper and the next jazz torchsong – with Mexican trumpet and blues guitar held together by solid drums, double bass and piano. A night with Lucho promises an eclectic mix of original music played by a kick-ass band.
