One on One with Dead Lucky
Not be mistaken with the book by Lincoln Hall or the 1960s British film, SA heavy rock outfit Dead Lucky have similar characteristics to the live fast, die young ethos of the title. In fact, their latest single Live fast, Die Young, captures the hedonistic rock ‘n roll of yesteryear pretty well, even in this wholesome modern rock age we live in.
We decided to catch up with the Cape Town band consisting of Kyle Lucky on vocals, Alex Krause on guitar, Jeandré Swanepoel on guitar Chris Thunder on bass and Jean Labuschagne on drums.
