It's good to be a Lucksmiths' fan. One reason for this is that the talented indie-pop trio release new material more regularly than your average group. The band also tours constantly, so there is never a ridiculously long time between gigs. It is not surprising then, that this Melbourne-based group has managed to create a loyal fan-base over the 10 or so years that the lads have been together.
THE LUCKSMITHS FAREWELL SHOW - WITH SPECIAL GUEST DARREN HANLON Underground pop battlers The Lucksmiths are serving notice. Yes, sadly, it's true. Times change, people move on, and like many of their songs redolent with ordinary minutiae The Lucksmiths have finally been conquered by everyday life. Formed in 1993, and having since transcended musical fashions and movements, the Melbourne band have long been seen as refreshingly unique amongst the musical landscape; their live shows, often hilariously haphazard, continue to captivate audiences at home and around the world, while they remain fond favourites of many who came across the band in their formative years. However, after sixteen lengthy years as purveyors of the well-crafted pop song, saddle-rash has finally set in, and sights are being set upon new horizons. The Lucksmiths leave behind a wondrous back catalogue of eight studio albums, three b-sides-and-rarities collections, and three mini-albums more than 170 songs in all. Don't miss the chance to say a final goodbye to the boys!
