Upon entering Night Club 101 before the show, I immediately felt that this space was for someone looking to build community through music.
Not only were the Lucky Break fans in attendance that night so lovely and willing to talk to a stranger, hugging the wall, but it also felt like a space where new fans are made.
Night Club 101 is known for staging new artists and musicians who are still finding their sound, or artists who have already established their base and are looking to host a space a safe space for other user music lovers to land.
That's why this venue was perfect to host Lucky Break’s East village show ahead of her tour across the U.S. Lucky Break played an amazing show that indeed captured the vibes of nostalgia, family, hope and most of all fun.
Before attending the show, I sat down with Emma of Lucky Break to chat about her new album, her tour and what’s in store for this new creative chapter.
Ann Tankersely: You came out with your new album, made it!— Why now (for this album)?
Lucky Break: This album is an accumulation of me (at ages) 19 to 23. So I really wanted to take my time, and I wanted to jump into the visual world of Lucky Break as a character first.
AT: Why did you take this album on tour?
LB: That’s what it’s all about for me. The live aspect is the most important part of the whole equation. My mom was a singer/songwriter, and I grew up watching her play bars around here (in the East village). Watching her connect with people live solidified for me that being in a room with people is really the center of the musical experience and the job of the musician.
AT: You grew up here (in the East Village). You're here tonight with your friends. How do you feel about tonight’s show versus the rest of the tour?
LB: It does feel like a homecoming, and it’s celebratory being with my friends. I get really nostalgic coming to the East village, I know it by heart. I feel so connected to this place, and it’s so essential to who I am. It feels like coming home, it feels really good.
AT: Are you traveling with the band on this tour?
LB: It’s just me and my guitar. I started this by playing at SXSW with tracks. I realized I just like playing with my guitar, I have more direct access to people. I like how intimate it feel, and it’s so essential to the kinds of artists I listen to. I like the “no-frills” aspect; it’s so simple.
The character of Lucky Break bleeds through every song from the album and provides an interactive yet transcendent experience for every listener.
If you have the chance to go see Lucky Break on their tour, don’t delay your plans. Not only are there sounds to blast all Summer long from a hyperpop idyllic landscape of their album, but there is also the awesome indulgence of the Lucky Break character in the world that has been built for them.
