Nick Luca in the Studio

Nick has been an engineer/producer/musician at Tucson's own Wavelab Recording Studio for over 10 years. With such notable artists as Devotchka, Neko Case, Iron and Wine, M Ward, Calexico, Robyn Hitchcock, Tom Russell, Crooked Fingers and Evan Dando, Nick has been an integral part of making some the most important albums of the indie music era. Now Nick Luca has opened his own studio in the heart of downtown called simply, The Upstairs Studio. The first finished record was by local act Mostly Bears and the album is currently flying up the college radio charts and shows no signs of slowing down. More records from Howe Gelb, Gabriel Sullivan, Andrew Collberg and Chris Holiman are in the works as well.

Nick can often be seen live backing artists such as Calexico and John Doe. Coming soon: Nick plays Coachella 2009 with Calexico!

About the Band, Luca

Luca’s last CD, the 2006 release Sick of Love, moved the band’s sound into rock territory. To help him go in that direction, Nick enlisted guitarist Joey Unger and drummer Ryan Janac, both from Tucson’s sonic-popsters Sunday Afternoon. And yes, Nick’s longtime band mate, bassist Chris Giambelluca, is still onboard.

But the band now sports a more driving, guitar-based attack. The songwriting is infused with psychedlia, Beatles-esque pop and classic rock. And then there’s the mark of storied producer Sean Slade (Radiohead, Hole, The Pixies, Dresden Dolls), who brought a new perspective to the talented band and helped them capture their musical evolution on tape at Wavelab. Guest musicians include Calexico’s Jacob Valenzuela on trumpet, famous Tucson (and beyond) drummer Winston Watson, sax player Marco Rosano and producer Sean Slade (multi-tasking here on organ, bass clarinet and vibes).

Luca the band recorded a sizzling live show at everyone’s favorite Tucson venue, Club Congress; titled Coming In For a Landing, it’s available online and from Nick on tour.

New in 2009: Nick produces the latest Luca album Favorite Candy. Just a good ol' time, fun, rock and roll record with a live vibe and a little swagger too - coming soon!
