Legend is a word suffering from chronic overuse syndrome these days, which has stripped it of its power to adequately describe the affection the New Zealand public has for Jordan Luck.
As front man and pop-writing genius with the (legendary) Exponents, he clocked up a staggering 18 Top 40 singles over the years, with Victoria recently voted by public as the 8th greatest New Zealand song of all time. Today you can still hear 10,000 rugby fans sing in unison to Why Does Love Do This To Me? at a Super 12 match. I could go on, but that was then and this is now...
At the APRA Silver Scroll Awards 2007 Jordan was announced as the inaugural inductee into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame
LUCK is the band that Jordan has assembled to carry on the torch of his pop-writing gift. Hand-picked from a wish-list of players he wanted to work with,
BAND MEMBERS
Joe Walsh (Guitar)
Bryan Bell (Guitar)
Jay Foulkes (Drums)
Rich Mixture (Bass)
While LUCK still carry the torch of Jordans illustrious pop past by playing all those beloved Exponents hits, the band also has one eye firmly on the future, with a recent bout of intense song writing for the (wait for it) NEW ALBUM, proving that Jordans creative muse is flourishing in its new environment. With a line-up like LUCKs, how could it be otherwise?
You can catch JORDAN and the boys together with Autozamm and Girl Band Ivy Lies at the Kings Arms Weds 22nd Oct 8pm as they do a warm up show before playing the Southern Amp Festival in Christchurch on 8th Nov
More live shows and Festivals to be announced plus a possible nationwide tour in the New Year.
