乐队资料

The Lucksmiths的三位成员分别是Mark Monnone负责弹bass和键琴,Marty Donald是吉他手,还有担任主唱的Tali White,乐队的歌曲多由Mark和Marty主力创作.他们于1993年以cassette带形式发表了11曲的同名合辑,从而开始了他们indie band的生涯,他们的歌曲风格多以清新派的guitar-pop见称,而歌词的部份是交代他们成长中种种的生活点滴,三人曾被问及他们受那些音乐艺人所影响,Marty则说了The Wedding Present, Billy Bragg, Morrissey (and The Smiths), Elvis Costello, Butterglory, The Kinks, Belle & Sebastian, Lloyd Cole, The Housemartins, Pavement, Trevor Barker (RIP), assorted murder and mystery books等一大堆名字.到阿Mark则简而清地列举了Jonathan Richman和The Modern Lovers.至於Tali则说他第一张购买的唱片是REM的《Green》大碟,而他则喜爱The Steinbecks,Belle and Sebastian, Art of Fighting,Joni Mitchel,The Aislers Set, Elvis Costello & The Attractions等都是何其出色的乐手,还有的是Tali更透露"魔戒"(the lord of the rings)是他心爱的电影之一。

对于这支澳洲乐队实在不用多说,眼镜少年的清纯歌谣,那种忧愁毫不知道掩饰,班上最被没水准男孩讨厌的娘娘腔,那是因为他多愁善感过分的令人怜爱啊!The Lucksmiths的单曲和专辑都是Matinée的销售冠军,眼镜少年魅力可见一斑。听The Lucksmiths的音乐,如同呼吸澳洲的空气一样清新温暖的声音,清澈乾净的吉它声,能让人忘记所有阴霾.低回的声音,简单淳朴的旋律,清澈乾净的吉它声,乾净流畅。

The Lucksmiths were an Australian indie pop band formed in March 1993 by Marty Donald on lead guitar, Mark Monnone on bass guitar and Tali White on drums and lead vocals. Louis Richter (ex-Mid State Orange) joined on guitar in 2005. They released eight studio albums, ‘First Tape’ (1 September 1993), ‘The Green Bicycle Case’ (July 1995), ‘What Bird Is That?’ (September 1996), ‘A Good Kind of Nervous’ (1997), ‘Why That Doesn't Surprise Me’ (5 March 2001), ‘Naturaliste’ (10 March 2003), ‘Warmer Corners’ (4 April 2005) and ‘First Frost’ (2008), before disbanding in August 2009. The group provided witty, intelligent lyrics, a strong melodic sense and a jangly pop sound harkening back to early-1980s bands such as The Smiths and The Go-Betweens.

In 2012, three of the former Lucksmiths, Marty Donald, Mark Monnone and Louis Richter, announced the formation of their new band Last Leaves, also including Melbourne musician Noah Symons on drums. The final ex-Lucksmith, Tali White, continues to work with his other band, The Guild League.

The band's breakup did not prevent it from becoming involved in controversy in 2011 when a policeman in England was accused of intentionally inserting the title of one of their songs ("Self Preservation") into an official report concerning a murder.

Compilation ‘Cartography for Beginners’ was released in November 2013.
