BIOGRAPHY:
Lucky Strikes
are a punk band formed in late 2004 by Ando (vocals / guitar, and the son of
John Anderson of local band Boo Radley),
Kenny Johnston (guitar / vocals), Antonio (bass) & Graham (drums). The band
started by playing various parties, but have now played a few pub gigs, including
supporting locally popular metalheads SPM at Jack's Bar in Falkirk, Battle of
the Bands, and various gigs in Bo'ness and Dunfermline. Their sound combines
the melody of pop punk outfits like Greenday and New Found Glory, the raw energy
of The Sex Pistols and The M.C.5, with a lyrical inventiveness not often seen
in punk. In October 2005 they released their debut self-titled EP. In 2006 the
band took time out, replacing Antonio with Dave (bass). Early in 2007 the band
parted company with Ando, and continued as a three piece. The band returned
in 2007 with a gig at an all dayer at Pennies, Falkirk.RELEASES:
