初期の The GoodLuck Boysは、アコーディオンとギターのデュオのストリートミュージシャンとして始まる。当初の彼らは、音楽によって演奏している場所に不思議な雰囲気を醸し出したり、オフビートな音やユーモアに満ちた音で時には怒りをこうむっていた。演奏を重ねていく内にリスナーからのCD依頼が多くなったため、ストリートで演奏していた曲をフューチャリングし、アルバム「Purely Cosmetic」が出来上がった。そしてすぐにライブハウスやパーティでの演奏依頼を受ける様になった。いろいろな場所でいろいろな人々と出会い、その影響で後に人々と共に山にこもる。自然の影響を受けながら“DRONE”(ものうげな) 音楽の世界に浸る。 今まで The GoodLuck Boysは多くのゲストを迎え、多くのCDをリリースした。現在では4人組のバンドとなり、最近アルバム「A Gift Of Time」をリリースした。
The GoodLuck Boys Tokyo, JP Enter the world of Ritualistic World Freak Punk Experimental Psychedelic Avant Folk MUSIC
A collective of some of Tokyo area’s strangest and most dangerous musicians, artists and nothing beings. Some of them are native to the country and some are stranded expats with an overflowing stream of creative energy and a taste for sacrifice. Their cult-like self-created communities involve artistic and rebellious expression mixed with tribal sexual activities - all of which translate tightly into their music. Their shows have been praised as “psychedelic rituals from an exotic world.” Starting out as two foreigners performing in parks and on the streets of Tokyo as an accordion and acoustic guitar duo. Their mission was only to add some abstract magic to the surrounding area and maybe even to piss a few people off with their offbeat yet humorous music. After constantly being asked if they had any CDs of their music they decided to quickly create a recording, known as “Purely Cosmetic,” that featured what they were trying to do in the streets. Before long they were asked to play in livehouses and parties. This helped create a community of like-minded people that would gather in remote forests and mountains to “drone” with nature and awake the creative spirits within. Things started changing and getting even stranger as the community built primitive animalistic rituals that started to make its way into the group and the music. Countless recordings were released documenting all of this as The GoodLuck Boys collectively playing with many guests. It seemed as if the band grew into a thriving community on a mission to explore the mystic corners of the human psych. Finally deciding to scale down as a four-piece band they pushed on as a unit and recorded a batch of songs that was released as “A Gift Of Time.” This is where The GoodLuck Boys are at today.
