Lucky Cupids-članek v fanzinu BoppinAround-NL

Here is the complete translation of article (you'll get a scan of the article later on, I had planned to enclose it now, but my second old computer to which the scanner is connected/attached doens't work properly, so I have to install the scanner software on my other newer computer and then I'm able to make scans, so you'll have to wait one or a few days, please):

"A nice sounding name: The Lucky Cupids. Probably a little bit decent, but the first step to a rockabilly scene in Slovenia has taken with this band !
It seems that Lucky Cupids is the onliest band that Slovenia is rich of. They are with four of them: Andrej Rudolf (singer/rhythm guitar), Matevz Carnelutti (lead guitar), Ales Kolar (standup bass), Grega Zamljen Usenik (drums).
After their foundation (already in 1994) they released their first CD just in 1999. This album "pride dan" is almost completely in the Slovenian language, but also released by British Nervous. The band sent us a demo which consisted as well as Slovenian songs (tracks, numbers, as we used to say here) as well as songs from their first demo "red hot rockabilly". These are English songs. The target is probably to get known in the rest of Europe (and in this case the Benelux (= Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg)). They already have been booked for the Rockabilly Rave festival in England, march 2003.

We start with the Slovenian tracks that wear titles such like Ne Verjamem In Se Slepim, Kaksna Je Ta Senska and more not understandable songs for us.
We will for easy purpose suppose that these also deal with beautiful women, however I recognize some wellknown ones.
Very recognizable however is Moj Don....that's Blue Moon....excellent done ! The melody of their own songs are very 'western' flavoured and with that I don't mean western swing, but music whereby you can imagine western movies. Yeh, yeh, with Slovenian cowboys of course ! Anyway, we hear carefull played rockabilly, in a fabulous and professional way !
What's most recognizable are the nice in our ear lying (literally translated as we used to say it hear) guitarlicks and the great rhythmic slapping bass sounds.
After hearing these songs it's a little bit disappointing that the English songs mostlly are covers from very wellknown 'modern' rockabilly songs, like Tainted Love (Soft Cell (1981, popgroup), uh (I mean), Dave Philips) and Stray Cat Strut and a whole mountain original 50's covers from Baby Let's Play House and One Cup Of Coffee to Brand New Cadillac and Johnny B. Goode. But if we purily look to the way they are played all these versions can be there ! (literally translated, meaning good versions), part by part. The sound of some tracks is less, but it seems that these are live recordings and thus (so) the judgement is more difficult.
What I mostly appreciate is that the Buddy Holly songs Not fade Away, Oh Boy, Love Me and That'll Be The Day sound very good. And that live ! Finally it's obvious that you nearly can't hear an accent.
The Lucky Cupids not only is the best Slovenian rockabilly band (which is very clear if you are the onliest one) but it is not for nothing that they have attacked Europe, because these guys really have quality. Guys, take English lessons and do compose some English songs. Yes, I know I have easy talking, I know......."


Personal note: you have to know that especially countries like The Netherlands, Belgium, Danmark, Sweden are countries that are heavily influenced by the USA/UK scene.
So they are familiar with English but not other foreign languages.
That's why I am a pioneer and promote also the non-English rock & roll. To me that Slovenian sounds terrific !, great ! So I was glad that you didn't record in English (as so many bands from around the world do). But you see not everyone thinks about it like me.
However keep on goin' the good things, because (and I wrote Frans after reading his article some weeks ago and insisted that his story is correct) you have a GOOD (even EXCELLENT) high quality sound, as I also told you when I got your CD "pride dan" some time ago. This is honest and meant by heart !!!!!!!
You have to know that we are surprised to hear that from Slovenia....Slovenia is not a kind of rockabilly-centre (to us) you know......... :-)
