For the last ten years Lucy In The Sky has been one of the most popular and successful Beatles cover bands in Germany. Performing the songs in their own, unmistakably lively and vivid style, they don't always try to recreate the songs as they were originally recorded. In fact, the four musicians don't consider themselves a revival band at all. And this approach is obviously working for them, as one newspaper review put it; "If the Beatles played today, they would sound like Lucy In The Sky." So alongside authentic performance of hits like "She Loves You", "Help!" or "A Hard Day's Night", the quartet also offers a vast repertoire of freely interpreted classics; "Eleanor Rigby" sounds almost "grungy", "Norwegian Wood" is a cappella, and "Drive My Car" becomes a soul number.
Wearing sixties-style suits onstage, as their heroes did, Lucy In The Sky exemplify danceable beats taking the audience, both young and old, back in time to the wild Rock 'n' Roll of the "early" Beatles. As far as Lucy In The Sky are concerned there is no room for backing tracks or other gimmicks - two guitars, bass, drums, three flawless voices and their charismatic stage appearance put these four gifted musicians in the highest league. The result is countless commended concerts in Germany and abroad, in clubs, at city celebrations, parties and other events. Some years ago they conquered the famous "Star Club" in Majorca, Spain. In 2002 they gave two triumphant concerts right here at The Cavern Club, where they recorded their second live album. When the Beatles Anthology Book was released in Germany, they toured all over the country promoting it.
This year, however, their success seems to have reached its highest peak. They have been voted "best cover band" by a German radio station and received great praise at the most important German Beatles convention in Berlin. Furthermore, they headlined a Beatles festival in France, where they were the only German band to play. However, Lucy in the Sky consider this invitation to Beatleweek in Liverpool to be the biggest highlight of all!
Lucy In The Sky are Peter Seel (John), Bernd Gudernatsch (Paul), Dirk Lamm (George) and Robin Achenbach (Ringo).
