About "ALL SHOOK UP":

Chattanooga-based songwriter Nick Lutsko comes off of his decidedly folk debut album with a new record that is decidedly not. “ALL SHOOK UP,” the latest single from the upcoming "Etc." album, is a send up of the “sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll” scene that accompanies live music.

“There’s a quote from Gustave Flaubert that I saw in Zappa’s autobiography,” Lutsko explains. “It reads, ‘Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.’  I come across a lot of folks that use the music as a means to get the sex and drugs,” Lutsko continues. “A lot of guys who are trying to complete their rock n’ roll checklist and lose sight of the music. Some people lose themselves entirely. The song is fictional, but has obvious allusions to Elvis Presley and Phil Spector. 

The shift in sonic style on "Etc." represents Lutsko’s newfound ability to realize a sound that he was logistically unable to record during his initial dip in the waters of record-making. Here, he has captured a sound that curiously, but accurately, designates him one of the few musicians on Facebook listing their genre as “Folk/Funk/Blues.”

Loud drums, crazy bass, and dirty guitar solos are all in the mix on "Etc.", an ambitious album that never sacrifices a hummable melody or clever turn of phrase to simply stand out as eclectic.
