Good Afternoon London !
On this wonderful sunny day, I wanted to share here of my musical 'coup de coeur' & discovery of the past week
One of the marvellous thing about London is that you would never find yourself in need of a gig. Live music is omnipresent, and imagining how many concerts take place at the same time each night gives me vertigo...
Among all, I decided tuesday night to go to the "Shift & Shuffle acoustic nights", promoted by Tabarnak, London-based music promoters who does a wonderful job bringing together many unsigned electroacoustic/pop/folk indie-ish acts.
Taking place in the belowzero bar off Regent Street, the acoustic night could be called everything but a cold atmosphere :
Well sat in large leather sofas, I'm looking at the small stage a meter away from me : a couple of spots and cables on the floor, a mic, a guitar waiting impatiently, nothing pretentious really.
And there it come : A young-black-hair-black beard guy, looking a bit surly with his Wolverine-like face, enter the stage, take the guitar and begin his first song.
From the first note, I'm instantly in love. With his deep and profound voice, Antonio Lulić sing about his life wishes in 'Sobering Up', and how he fell in love with an unknown girl in 'The Sound of the girl next door, singing'. (Girl which I , eventually, already hate)
As I listen to Antonio's voice, which remind me a bit of Eddie Vedder, the room around me became blurry, and I'm completely transported in his world.
The only thing I can think of is how come this guy is not more known already, and how lucky I am to see him live in such a small place, as I am truly convinced that we're gonna hear about him a lot in the near future.
Back home, I browse the internet for more infos, and I discover, that, not only Antonio is talented on stage, but he also is the one to congratulate for the recording of his EP, 'Becomes Unstoppable', and the design of his website.
Originally from North England, Antonio Lulić is one of this 21st century artist, who understood that - with the music industry being where it is a the moment - no one can help you better than yourself promoting your own music.
He's been playing around the UK and everywhere he could these past years, and - to believe his website - has the firm intention to continue to do so.
And that's all I can wish for really, that more and more people discover the world and sound of Antonio Lulić, and that he continues making wonderful music to please our ears !
