The Jordan Luck Band
‘Legend’ is a word suffering from chronic overuse syndrome these days, but when it comes to Jordan Luck, the word regains it’s full meaning… one the NZ public associates with this true blue Kiwi artist. This affection, shown also by his peers, asJordanbecame the Inaugeral Inductee into the New Zealand Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. 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.
THE JORDAN LUCK BAND is the band thatJordanhas assembled to carry the torch of his pop-writing gift. Hand-picked from a wish-list of players he wanted to work with,Jordanfound that he didn’t need to look too far….
*Bryan Bell came from the hard-touring and well-loved Dead Flowers, a guitarist, pianist and songwriter with a pop streak a mile wide.Bryan’s no-nonsense rhythm guitar and vocal ability made him an obvious choice for JLB.
*Beaver, the newest member of the band, has spent the last few years touring the world with the D4 before they recently disbanded. He is a solid and talented drummer who enriches the JLB experience
*Rich Mixture on bass, formerly of kiwi rockers Shaft and D4, completes the rhythm section.
* Irish singer/songwriter Joe Walsh joinsBryanon guitar and vocals. Joe first met the band on tour with THE EXPONENTS inEuropein 2005.
While The Jordan Luck Band still carry the torch of Jordan’s illustrious pop past by playing those beloved Exponents hits, the band also has one eye firmly on the future, with a recent bout of intense song writing for a new album, proving that Jordan’s creative muse is flourishing in its new environment. With a line-up like this, how could it be otherwise?
