With two fingers up to the incongruous political classes, and two more pointed at the apathy that bolsters them, ‘Taking The Michael’ is an ever-poignant and acerbic piece of social comment, floating elegantly over a delicious mixture of styles and melodies. The timing for this song is perfect.
Having been called a cross between Madness and Jamie T, and being likened to a modern equivalent of Squeeze and Ian Dury and The Blockheads, Super Luckies have found themselves in good company with legendary producer Laurie Latham and London Indie TAPE.
TAPE operates out of Trevor Horn’s SARM STUDIO in Portobello, which is also the home of STIFF RECORDS, the label to which The Blockheads (and scores of other great British Artists) were signed. Latham, producer of Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Squeeze and many others has produced three tracks with Super Luckies including ‘Taking The Michael’.
A dynamic and versatile six-piece band, Super Luckies continue to wow London’s gig goers with frontman Steve Payne’s Soulful Vocals, Dub bass lines, Blues Guitars, Jazz Piano, Mariachi Horns and Solid Solid Beats. Super Luckies are making musicianship cool again!
