Lucky Day CD Release Party April 15, 2006

Lucky Day forges a fresh pop/rock sound without ignoring the melodic echoes of the past ? as The Washington Post Express put it, ?some of the best pop-rock the ?60s never heard.?
Bursting onto the scene in summer 2005, Lucky Day?s blend of urgent hooks, soaring melodies, and ethereal vocals has already won them performances at the 2006 National Cherry Blossom Festival (Washington DC?s signature springtime event), the 2006 National Capital Barbecue Battle Festival (voted one of North America?s ?Top 100 Events? by The American Tourism Industry Association), and Virginia?s Six Points Music Festival (other bands in this year?s lineup include Army of Me and Emmet Swimming).  Most recently, Nashville-based Double D Records selected Lucky Day to record a track for a Superdrag Tribute album; it will be released internationally this April.
Only weeks after forming the band, Lucky Day recorded their 6-song EP at The Mouse Trap in Louisa, Virginia with engineer/producer Stewart Myers (Agents of Good Roots).  They went into the studio as a three piece - Victoria Patchen (vocals), Brian Huber (guitar), and Adam Gierisch (bass), not yet having met drummer Dave Ray, who has since joined the ranks of Lucky Day.  Brian Jones (Jason Mraz, Rachel Yamagata) sat in on drums, and Daniel Clarke lent his talents on keys.  Fred Kevorkian (White Stripes, Ryan Adams, Dave Matthews) mastered the EP at Avatar Studios in New York City.
Z104 spun the single from All My Rainy Days on their Capital Scene show, and their songs have been broadcasted on other radio stations and podcasts around the country.  The band?s songs move from moody and mellow (as in their single Rainy Days) to upbeat and raucous (as in their power pop gem Time Will Only Know).  Whatever the style, the melodies are catchy and the lyrics are accessible, focusing on everything from rocky relationships to world views.
Smother.net has already chosen the EP as an editor?s pick:
?...Victoria Patchen spews forth vocals that are beautifullymelodic and with additive harmonies that tie the germane angular guitar hooks and undercutting bass grooves together neatly...the resulting pop-rock amalgam is cheerfully catchy...?
The official EP release party for All My Rainy Days is April 15 at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA.
The EP will be available nationwide on Awarestore and at various other music outlets April 18.
