About Me

"...fantastic..." - BBC Manchester"Lucky Star, with their buoyant post-punk anthem 'Eyes to the Left', could also be a name to look out for."- Drowned in Sound on High Voltage Full Charge compilation (drownedinsound.com)"Lucky Star delivers energetic indie pop pleasantries abundant with spiky guitars and effortlessly arty vocals. Their Jittery output demonstrates an acknowledgement of British newcomers such as Editors and Battle, whilst the buoyancy their music sustains, gives a nod to party starters such as Bloc Party... The Manchester based foursome are surely ones to watch." - No Ordinary Music (www.no-ordinarymusic.com)“All efforts are pretty tight and energetic…You do have to mark out Arj Singh as a future rock god” (manchestermusic.co.uk) High Voltage compilation out now featuring us, The Answering Machine, Big Cash Prizes, The Whip, The KBC, Dead Disco and loads of others. Buy from http://www.highvoltagesounds.co.uk/store.htm. Also availiable from hmv.co.uk, itunes, HMV (manchester), Picadilly Records (Manchester), Jumbo Records (Leeds), Rough Trade (London) and loads of other good record shops. It's amazing so get it!Each member of Luckystar was summoned to Manchester purely because of the city’s passion for partying hard and fascinating musical heritage. Renowned for their impromptu house party gigs, they quickly gathered a healthy and dedicated fan base. Their gusty vocals backed up by groovy bass-lines, urgent guitars and zealous drums always provide a danceable racket to which audiences thank them for. Having supported the likes of Field Music at the JD Set, The Courteeners and Midnight Juggernauts, this band grabs the ever-grateful crowd by its face and demands its attention, proving themselves nationwide from Brixton Jamm with Bloc Party (DJs) to rural Wales with a tombola.
