The Lucky Couple

Biographie

2004: A robot-like guy launches Facebook. Justin Timberlake unveils Janet Jackson's breast at the Super Bowl. And the strongest earthquake in 40 years hits Asia. Another phenomenon shakes the world largely unnoticed: Holly Heartbreak and Louie Lovechild form The Lucky Couple. The Duo Infernale comes out of nowhere and conquers with their first love song "Out of Darkness" - the nothingness . Never officially published and heard by almost no one, the piece disappears into oblivion.

2009: Barak Obama, the first black president of the USA, takes office. The financial crisis shakes the world. And with Michael Jackson, the King of Pop dies. The Lucky Couple shakes the planet again: "You Are The Only One", a second track about eternal love, sets the spheres in vibration. Does the duo take up the King of Pop's legacy with this? By no means. The piece is never officially published and once again heard by almost no one. Poof.

Let's hit the Fast Forward button, because in the years to come in the universe of The Lucky Couple happens nothing.​

2023: memories of a pandemic that led to bad moods and conspiracy theories. Wars, crises, disasters, murder and manslaughter. High time for The Lucky Couple, well matured and one big step closer to absolute nothingness, to shake up humanity again - with glamour and lighthearted songs about love, hate and other absurdities. 13 glam-art-pop-punk songs are created, recorded on the island of Tinos in Greece. And they all will be released during 2024!

The songs are about apple trees, the influence of the moon, they tell of sailors who become captains and murderous shrimps and - how could it be otherwise? - about eternal love. They bring a ray of sunshine into a dark world, they dispel bad moods with ease, they glitter and sparkle.

Who is behind The Lucky Couple? On the one hand, the irresistibly seductive Holly Heartbreak, who enchants fans with her charm and glamour. At her side, the incredibly attractive Louie Lovechild, who penned the glam-pop-punk songs.

But are they serious? Is it a joke or some kind of art performance? Does it matter? No, because The Lucky Couple brings the word luck back to love.
And the central question: will the glamorous duo disappear into nothingness again? Absolutely. Eventually.
