Lucky Diaz – Made In L.A.

Leave a reply

Made In L.A. is Lucky Diaz’s funky, fresh love letter to the City of Angels. It will be released on July 21st. We are proud to offer you a first glimpse at the gorgeous Made In L.A. artwork, created by the one and only Micah Player.

Listen to the infectious ‘Paletero Man’ – an ode to the Mexican ice cream man. Good luck getting the chorus out of your head:

Oye, my friend
Can you hear the sounds of the weekend
Oye, my friend
Don’t miss your chance
Ven aca Paletero man

Lucky will be playing Lollapalooza this summer in addition to plenty of other shows across the US. If he’s in your town, make plans to support great independent music. 

‘Paletero Man’ is also featured on this killer summer road trip playlist featuring Lisa Loeb, Justin Roberts, Red Yarn and more!

While the full Record Store Day list hasn’t been released yet, news on RSD releases continue to trickle out.

Waxploitation Records founder Jeff Antebi asked artists from music & art to collaborate on original children’s stories for a benefit project. The book includes stories from Nick Cave, Frank Black, Justin Vernon, Laura Marling, Devendra Banhart, Alison Mosshart as well as paintings/illustrations from Anthony Lister, Dan Baldwin, Swoon, Will Barras, James Jean, Ronzo, Kai & Sunny, and others.

Not to be content with just creating the book – On April 22nd, it will be available on 12” colored vinyl. There will only be 2,000 made available. (so, arrive early to your favorite record store)

Nick Offerman reading a Justin Vernon story? Danny Devito reading Frank Black? Count me in.
