Red hot swingin' rockabilly from Slovenia. Great production, great vocal, good choice of covers and beautiful solo guitar I only heard by Stray Cats. You know what I mean. It's nice, a bit clear and warm guitar sound. These guys are great musicians and they know how to create the 50s sphere. You can really enjoy it with The Lucky Cupids even if you are not big rockabilly fan. I love when they sing in Slovenian, sounds even better than in English. I strongly recommend this Band to everybody - not only rockabilly lovers.
"Pride Dan" is mostly in Slovenian and almost cover free (at least I recognize only few songs, but please forgive my poor knowledge of rockabilly music). Honestly it's even better than really great "Red Hot Rockabilly". Lucky Cupids are really great songwriters. Great guitar sound, specially in "Kaksna je ta zenska?". I must say that "Tainted Love" is really great killer version of early 80s synth pop. I also love "Zacaran Sem", nice rockabilly ballad with beautiful guitar - with Las Vegas strip bar feeling.
Bonus is acoustic rockabilly session - nice for after hours with bottle of vine.
NO BRAINS ZINE!

You probably would ask: "What is Slovenia?"
Slovenia is a small European country between Austria and Italy. If you are curious, just look it up in your favorite encyclopedia on CD-Rom.I don't know much about the favorite national music in Slovenia, but it could hardly be Rockabilly. Yet there is at least one band that plays the real red hot, authentic fifties and sixties rockabilly and rock & roll.The band is called THE LUCKY CUPIDS and they have one CD out, called "Pride dan".
The CD is on Nika Records and has also been released in England, on the Nervous label.The following tracks are on the CD:1. Pride dan; 2. Ker ti ne ve; 3. Kakna je ta zenska; 4. Moja sestra nebi; 5. Nina; 6. U mislik si mi ti; 7. Ne morem brez nje; 8. Zacaran sem; 9. Men je cist useen; 10. Tainted love; 11. Show business je O.K.; 12. Mexicali baby.The group was established in 1994 and plays mainly the crazy 50's rockabilly music, a mix between swing, surf, rhythm and blues, a little country and western style.
Their first CD PRIDE DAN has been released in 1999 and is the first and only rockabilly project in Slovenia. Almost all the songs are in Slovene, but don't let that put you off, because all tracks sound really great!
