Fans of the electronic music band GoodLuck are in for an exhilarating experience at Daisy Jones this Friday (4 August), as the group plans to debut some fresh tunes during the live event.
“We have been tirelessly working on our next album in our GoodLuck HQ studio,” Juliet Harding, the band’s founder and lead vocalist pointed out. “We’ve crafted some very exciting new songs the Stellenbosch crew hasn’t heard yet. We can’t wait to see our Stellies fans!” .
She emphasised that maintaining consistency was crucial in the music industry. “Perseverance is, perhaps, the most important quality to possess in the music industry. Talent is great, but without a consistent effort one risks fading from one’s audience’s radar. It’s a relationship one needs to cultivate daily.”
Addressing the stereotype of Capetonians’ laid-back lifestyle, Harding is of the opinion it is a misinterpretation. “We put significant energy into understanding the ‘why’ behind what we do. Just because we’re not rushing to get things done doesn’t mean we aren’t serious. In reality, we ensure our endeavors are well-thought-out. One can witness this in the numerous iconic brands that have sprung from this corner of the country.”
Asked about the source of the group’s inspiration, Harding mentioned it is the day-to-day human experiences and struggles. “We’re all constantly striving to better ourselves. To live better. Love better. Maybe not eat better. There’s so much beauty in the little moments of everyone’s lives, from which one can draw inspiration. I remember seeing a stressed mother running late while taking her child to school. Someone let her go ahead in traffic, and the look on her face was absolutely transformative! These moments are special, and they’re happening all around us.”
The band’s favourite song to perform at present is their latest single, “Feel Alive.” “It’s truly heartening to see our fans singing the lyrics back to us!” Harding expressed with delight.
Discussing the band’s accolades, Harding said: “While these awards serve as markers for our achievements, we don’t place a great deal of emphasis on them. Our primary focus is finding ways to share our music globally.”
GoodLuck is currently engrossed in recording their new album, dedicating as much time as possible to the studio. “It can be a bit challenging with the touring schedule. Between our South African and international shows it’s tough to allocate enough time, but we are doing our best.”
Excitingly, the band has a major European tour planned in November. “Nearly all the venues are already sold out, which is thrilling for us! We’re also heading to Vietnam later this year, so there’s plenty of travel on the horizon.”
The band also announced their partnership with Versofy Solar as brand ambassadors. “Their solar rental arrangement has been a total game changer for us in this power crisis, enabling us to continue creating music!”
Tickets to the show cost R220 at the door or via Howler. VIP tickets cost R350 and includes a meet-and-greet an a drink with the band. Doors open at 18:00.
