Single Focus: Luka Lesson

Single title? Living Artefact feat Kahl Wallis.

What's the song about? About living cultures and people so often encased behind glass and regarded as ancient or primitive coming back to life.  

How long did it take to write/record? We made this track over long distances so all up about two months of correspondence. 

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? No, it stands on its own. 

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I was thinking about how the British museum holds both Indigenous and Ancient Greek artefacts and refuses to return them. I was thinking about how Kahl Wallis and I feel stuck in Australia. 

We'll like this song if we like... Akala & Saul Williams - Kahl's voice is somewhere between the power of Pavarotti and the tone of Ben Harper. 

Do you play it differently live? Exactly as it is on the record. That's us. 

When and where is your launch/next gigs? We are currently on a national tour with shows and writers' workshop dates. 8 Sep, The Jade; 9 Sep, The Workers Club Geelong; 10 Sep, The Workers Club; 24 Sep, Darwin Railway Club & Sports Club; 7 Oct, Mullumbimby Civic Hall; 8 Oct, Empire Theatre; 12 Oct, Janes Wollongong; 13 Oct, Brighton Up Bar; 14 Oct, Nishi Gallery.
