LUCKY was conceived by MYNDY K & I. MALCOLM FRANCIS. MALCOLM is Canadian, was born on a skateboard & grew up on punk rock. He toured Canada & the U.S.A. playing bass for a band called Skin Barn opening for Urge Overkill, Green Day & Nirvana. In ‘93 he moved to the Big Apple & started his own prod. Co., Popular Beat Combo, making beats for MTV & VH1 and re-mixing tracks for artist like Etta James, Donna Summer & Willie Nelson. MYNDY K grew up on a musical goat farm in the green mountains of Vermont. Her mom, Alice, taught her how to make up her own harmonies by their potbelly stove at night. Myndy grew up watching both of her parents play in bands and that was how she knew for sure that she never wanted to be in one herself. But, when she came to NYC it wasn’t long before she met some drag queens and learned how to disguise her redneck roots like a pro. After getting a record deal in ‘96 Myndy K quickly developed a reputation on the underground music scene as one of the fiercest performers in club land. In ‘99 she worked with Dido as the sole background singer on her first U.S. tour while she also supported her own ..14 Billboard dance hit “MOMENTS”. The truth is that since she was small she’s known that someone somewhere was making the music that was inside her head...the music she heard in her mind when she wrote songs...then she met Malcolm. Almost immediately after meeting MALCOLM & MYNDY were totally & completely swept into the force they now call LUCKY. They got together to see how it would go and resurfaced 23 songs later knowing that what they’d been waiting for their whole lives was now upon them. The search was over and they had to do something with what they’d found. That something is LUCKY, the band. Myndy K on vocals, I. Malcolm Francis on bass, Rob Bose on keyboards, Genji Siraisi on drums & Vini Miranda (from Dido) on guitar. They released their first album in 2005, “Stories By The Fire’s Side”, and have been captivating audiences with their live show in NYC. Two tracks from the album were chosen for the film, “This Girl’s Life”, starring James Woods and Rosario Dawson. Fat Boy Slim’s label, Southern Fried Records, released a remix of LUCKY’s “Shine On” for the U.K. in ’02 & several tracks by LUCKY and DJ CASHCOW aka I. Malcolm Francis are featured on the Frequent Flyers soundtrack available at pusher.com. Their sound is electronic meets acoustic, dark meets light, Blondie meets Patsy, a serpent with wings………feelin’ LUCKY?Remember...the only difference between LICK and LUCK is U
