Lucky Cupids na rockabilly festivalu v Angliji


Slovenski rockerbilly-ji The Lucky Cupids so spet doma; nedavno so se namreč vrnili iz Anglije, kjer so se udeležili festivala "Rock a billy Rave nu.7".
Polni vtisov ter pozitivnih odzivov na njihovo glasbo imajo sedaj točno dva tedna predaha, nato jih čaka mala turneja po severnem delu Italije, kasneje pa še studijsko delo in videospot.


Še nekaj angleških vtisov o Lucky Cupids

The Lucky Cupids

Red Hot Rock a Billy Band from Slovenia

Andrej Rudolf(vocal & rhythm acoustic guitar)
Matevz Carnelutti(solo electric guitar)
Ales Kolar(double slapp bass)
Anze Zurby(drums)

Yes, The  Lucky Cupids pleased a lot of people, not only rockabillies, with their charming unobtrusive performances just like in the 50s era.

I really hardly believe it that these boys had driven for 22 hours for this concert. They are making their first appearance in England.

This four piece band from Slovenia have the macho egos, and the aded advantage of an easiness beauty of the vocalist who has the talent to sing whatever, rockabilly, blues stuff, swing style, balads..., which allow him to really glimmer.

All band swung like crazy with a remarkably full sound for a four piece band.

Oh yes, The Lucky Cupids secret weapon is certainly singer Andrej Rudolf .


They featured many songs from their debut CD album Pride Dan and they are surprised the audience with their own Slovenian song which are very very exotic for us.

Everybody was enthusiastic about their show.

Their other choice of numbers was the first rate, they including so classics rockabilly jumpy numbers like Rockabilly Boogie, Baby let’s play house, Desperado love, Tiger man, Let’s have a party, One cup of Coffee, Something I said, Baby what you want me to do, Brand new cadillac, Shakin’ all over... and of course my favourite Strangers in the night (really magic); their cover versions were fantastic. They finished with marvelous version of the film song in Cry Baby Doing time for being young (excelant done).

Singer Andrej also has a good strong, clean, sometimes even shoutin’ voice. He sang both uptempo numbers and ballads with feelin’ athmosphere. All through the set, he was never still, always jumpin’, shakin’ body spontaneous with the beat Rudolf's sexy velvet voice and very warm personality came over so strongly on all numbers they did it. I think that he set some hearts a flutter. He sings with mixed of an English American accent.

Solo guitarist Carnelutti gave us some very beautiful hot licks, really nice, clear,warmin’ twang melodic sound. These guy is a great musician and he knows how to play rockabilly in trully way.

A young drummer Zurby and the slapp bass player Ales producing a really fine jumpin sound. They both know how to swing.

The Cupids were dressed in a beautiful clothes made by Andrej’s  sister Renata Rudolf  (RetroRudolf Fashion).
Finaly, I want to say that The Lucky Cupids  have got so much more than just another authentic 50s style rockabilly band.
