Sounds Like
"A month after Luego's drummer sold his kit and gave up drumming, frontman Patrick Phelan has picked up the pieces, recruited some sidemen and now continues to offer well-tempered rock songs with audacious vocals and a symphonic touch. Max Indian joins the bill with a refined lineup and a PBR-approved approach to pop. Roman Candle's Jeff Crawford opens with his charming solo pop project. $5/ 10 p.m." -Independent Weekly (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC) - October 2008
"they're busy now backing frontman Patrick Phelan's passionate lyrics about driftwood orchestras. He's got a quirky inflection and a hint of swagger to pit against the band's largely sunny jangle." -Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - July 2007
"Luego is a new one to watch in Durham. Part of the band's smarts lies in its balance between warm, folksy Dylan-esque rock-economics and the solid build of weepy symphony strings." -Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - October 2007
Luego has been through a lot of changes. People hired, people fired, people loved, people pushed. After releasing a few EPs and a current LP in the works, Luego is on its way up.
They've toured in over 25 states, been on television, the radio, and played some big venues with some big names.
After doing 75 shows on an insane summer tour, singer/songwriter Patrick Phelan has been through several configurations of the band. He is working with Jeff Crawford (Roman Candle) on the new record - titled "Taped Together Stories" - seaspond vet Peter Holsapple (REM, the dBs, Hootie and the Blowfish) and whiz kid drummer Rob DiMauro.
What to expect from a Luego show? The lyrical delivery of Dylan, the rock sensibility of Wilco, a hint of swagger, and the best musicians in the area making the supergroup sound songwriter's dream of.

Ahh, November 1 is my consolation prize for not being able to go to your show with Max Indian tonight (eee!) at The Pour House; [-heading out early tomorrow for a weekend trip, ...and getting home 2-3am from Raleigh won't work for me. ] Please tell everyone hello for me! Have a fun show!
