In Episode 50 of Trust The Band, I sit down with Lukie Lovechild from Montreal’s indie sensation, Night Lunch. Lukie opens up about the band’s creative approach to music, sharing how they blend vintage influences with a modern twist to craft something both timeless and hauntingly unique. We talk about his journey from his early days in music to headlining Montreal’s stages, and how he channels his deepest thoughts and emotions into each performance.
Lukie reflects on his process and why music is more than just a career—it's a calling. “I see myself as a vessel—just open to being used for a purpose. If I wrote a good song, it wasn’t necessarily me; I’m just in service of something else.” He also speaks candidly about the magic of live shows: “When I’m on stage, that’s my chance to express who I really am. Offstage, I might have a persona, but on stage, I feel huge, like I’m truly myself.” And for Lukie, creating music means pushing boundaries: “For me, the melody always comes first. Lyrics are the last thing written, which keeps the songs open to any interpretation from listeners.”
Join us as we dive into the artistry and philosophy that drive Night Lunch’s sound and learn why, for Lukie, music is all about helping people escape into something larger than life.
