NIZLOPI

Acoustic / Hip Hop / Folk

 

A LITTLE BIOGRAPHY

Nizlopi are Luke Concannon and John Parker, two friends whove been writing and playing music together since their early teens. Luke handles the heartfelt lyrics, soulful vocals, and accompanies this with his beloved Guitar, while JP sets jaws-a-dropping with masterful Double-Bass playing, his breathtaking human Beat-Boxing, and a little extra Guitar playing of his own for good measure too! Together these boys have created a genre-defying sound all of their own thats earned them plenty of love around the UK and now the rest of the globe!

Since the release of their debut album Half These Songs Are About You, Nizlopi have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the UK, playing a never ending run of live shows in venues ranging from fans living rooms - 'Gigs in Digs' - to sold out appearances at Londons Shepherds Bush Empire, to festivals like Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe, The Big Green Gathering and the like

Live, Nizlopi are in their element. Their aim is to break down the barriers between performers and audiences, which gives their infamous, largely improvised shows, a feeling of intimacy, energy and over-whelming positivity; they enjoy nothing more than heading down into the crowd to play acoustically an unforgettable experience for anyone who gets to take part.

At the end of 2005 they achieved UK chart success with their huge number one hit 'JCB Song', and were introduced to the mad, fantastical world of TV land... Richard & Judy was probably the most surreal. It was a great time to build the exposure that the music deserves, and also allow the growth of the Indie label, FDM Records, Luka and Johnboi set up with family and friends. Nizlopis music has already begun to hit all corners of the globe with numerous licensing partnerships formed with labels in Europe, South Africa, North America and Australia.

In September 2006 Nizlopi released thier 'ExtraOrdinary' mini-album, which was aimed at giving the fans a taster of Nizlopi's evolved sound; capturing the energy and soul of thier renowned live performances in the studio setting. The CD being sold at gigs and online only from FDM's website, it trully is a 'for the fans' release, with thoasands of die-hards turning out for the accompanying 'ExtraOrdinary' Tour. The collection of highly emotive and beautifully crafted poignant songs includes the crowd favorite title track 'ExtraOrdinary' and the seminal colaboration with Hebredian Author and Activist Alastair McIntosh with 'Homage To Young Men'.

The future is an exciting one with the forthcoming release of the recently recorded 'second album', recorded at The Dairy in London and with a highly revered former Island Records Producer. Before then Nizlopi again have a full on summer of festival fun and the lads are also dead excited about their next UK and International Tours coming later this year - hope to see you there!
