Month: November 2023

We are complex people. We got so much to give. Sometimes peoples dont want to give so sometimes we have to take. I grew up with and idolised and loved many humans. They burnt their souls into my soul. I cant forget them but I need to put them to bed. The next record will be the last chapter of John Brute. Chronicles of John Brute part 2. When little, I grew up and became a complete adult I realised my folly in blind idolisation . I also felt real empathy with me “aunties” and “uncles”. I needed to tell their stories without being Babar Luck. The first episode of the Brute was in 2012.

That was my middle finger to the polite bourgeois world I was seeking. Possibly I am there,well people are polite to me and I am polite to them. Also a artistic left turn to the corporate powers that rule over us. It was crucial to make that statement. As a artist. It is still fiction it is still art. It is not me I could never be like John Brute . I am too soft too forgiving too gentle and genuinely empathise too much possibly too honest. I live in another state of mind. Peace love meditation.

The songs on the first outing of the brute are played acoustically (coostikaly). For example the first track is called “street solgerz Part 1” it begins “Street solgerz getting older the drugs we sell each year make less profit like Ronnie the Rocket Knows we got Hott shots or Phil the Power Taylor knows trebles for show doubles for dough but I am old school like Bobby George he had rings on his fingers he was a bullseye specialist I am a bullshit specialist”. The names are referring to snooker players and dart players. If you get it you get it. If you dont get it dont worry about it. There are many love songs and Love as anyone who knows A Brute will testify that is what they are about. Real love the purest love. A love song from the first Brute. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/equal-share-2

On this second outing we have gathered some wonderful musicians. Also as a gift to YOU. We released a extra track from the album utilising all the creatives via our small yet free and easy to access. Youtubechannel. Please chk the personal and the track it is very important as John Brute is a disciplined character and aunties and uncles were always talking about focus and discipline. https://youtu.be/IlEJk1yLh40?si=aUxhpInvaZBGg44F

And the first track from the new album without spoiling your enjoyment is called Hot shotta it begins “Everyday I celebrate life everyday of freedom I celebrate life” Hot Shotta again refers to selling illegal drugs and lott’s of them. That first track talks about John Brute being released from prison and finding his way. Musically dense I wanted John brute to have good send off. Not many characters will be like that or will be written about like he is. It is amalgamation of many characters male and female. In this there are varient cultural and emotional references.

SO it out via bandcamp on dec 1st. Chk our 22 other releases and be well. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music Physical copies will be via vinyl only. As me aunties and uncles never liked any other format. Apart from radio. The vinyl will be ready 2024 at some point. So chk it pass it and enjoy.

“We got fists knives and guns for anyone who hurts you”. Interesting. One of the lines from the long awaited album to be released via the bandcamp platform. Dec 1st 2023. It is about redemption. Sacrifice. Love the purest Love. It has a happy ending. A fictional character based on the aunties and uncles that raised me. That is why his name is John Brute aka Babar Luck. Please do investigate all our 22 albums on https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music

Also at team Luck we have released via our youtube channel the first and possibly the most salient track about those that raised me and who I admired rightly or wrongly and what they had in abundance Discipline chk it subscribe to our channel tell your friends….

…….One of the protagonists in the recent carnage that’s occurring in this world his older brother was killed by the opposing side. He said at the time “that’s when my heart was pulled out”. Hamza Yusuf a Imam and cleric said that’s why this life is a test we have to challenge stop halt that vengeful spirit in all of us. That’s the REAL Jihad as the main chap in that book called the Koran said. To seek peace. To protect all the children. To control ego and pride. He continues to say “I pray I meditate everyday and yet this world still makes me so angry”. Yes we are not surprised that the cycles of mad vs mad occur and continuous excuses of how why we must kill continue. All life is sacred every soul deserves respect. Love your enemy. Compassion empathy gentleness grace listening communicating.

Above we were in the studio again with https://adiehardy.com this for the final chapter of the World citizen folk band called Resistance (to be released winter 2024) chk the the last four albums and a track from the last outing https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/stand-down-2

Talking to one of my dear friends and how we have survived this existence. Only the other day a fifteen year old boy in his boys class was stabbed to death in the UK London. Then also on the hustle level of empire building in London one of his associates was also killed by four men. As his soul fly’s to heaven tears are shed. The world I yearn for and try and reach to does exist. I also need to clarify in that world I yearn to reach when usually men try and do that “thing” that power demanding “Respect” I always have to control my laughter that laughter is disguising those tears that fall. Not I. You are not talking to me. Did I mention ego and pride?

That’s the Yogi Babar above. Sugar Yogi . Love you 100%. You are amazing. We Love our enemy. We carry that white flag. We swear we have no nation. We are proud of our paciff gentle loving nature. That’s also a greater part of me. I was punched and slapped by those that raised me for being too nice. For being gullible. For being soft. For being easily led. I say I was trying to show what I was taught by the examples I read in those fat books from ancient times. Our interpretation of seeking a peaceful and loving world. Never easy and I have learnt the hard way by my own violence and self made horrors. We are all works in progress. Love is the way the only way.

The above T shirt which has the indigenous Australian colours. Was a album made in Australia by Babar Luck and the Blind watchmakers.

As a child of the empire I love cricket. Incidentally Congrats to the Oz cricket team for winning the Cricket world cup in India against India for the sixth time. As I have blood in Oz and many friends in that nation. I admire the brilliance of that cricket side. As also we are reminded India is pursuing a fascistic political Playing field. The leaders of those nations have to Love more. Share more. Forgive more. Whilst maintaining their diversity. All in actions and not words. Tragically the rhetoric and words are not even peaceful or compromising Just simply Vitriol and ignorance. I have a masters degree in vitriol and ignorance I am totally aware of those failings.

I also always remind peoples of the historical Genocide that took place and in a way is still continuing in Australia . We dont pretend and we dont forget. we live in this world we are a part of the same book. That book is not a written book. It is aural tradition. Dreamtime. Those wonderful teachings . We can all learn from them. Above Harley my Godchild’s hound smiles at YOU. smile back. Laugh or cry we shall be One. We shall all return to the One.

next two shows The first on 23.11.23 solo loving Yogi Babar (a little tiny bit of straight talking …)in London organised by Patrick Lyons top notch poet and the reason is to do a show with him https://www.instagram.com/endeavourdeptford/ A nice creative space be fun equal to none.

We are approaching the release of the full album of The Chronicles of John Brute part 2. That character is a homage to those wonderful characters that raised me. It is also a work of pure fiction in case the police question me. David Bowie had Ziggy Stardust I have John Brute. It took time to complete. We wanted it to be special and we feel our objectives have been met. Dec 1st 2023 it will be released via https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music do chk what we already have on that platform …

One of the main tracks and Lifestyle mantras I was told was the word Discipline. Moderation and Discipline. Those qualities are very difficult to maintain for me but those characters had those in abundance. We have that track on our vidz section via youtube. As we thought it is crucial people get that and hear that for FREE!!!. As the team Luck is a very small yet sincere team and youtube is a huge platform that we reluctantly use. Also I wish to write the lyrics of that song so you get the flow. I am sure “uncle” Nutts who penned some of these lyrics is smiling somewhere now R.I.P.

……Yes ….Yes …..We at team Luck have also putt some new designs the above is utilising the indigenous Australian flag. That’s to annoy mainstream Australian culture and society and the “colonisers” families in this world. It seems a pattern in human history like the indigenous societies in America to try and wipe them out and leave a very small percentage. Then romanticise them and sing apologies to them or to feel really really sad about it. More common to try and pretend they dont exist.

The war machine is a universal one and it effects all of us. We all make history. Incidently to commemorate the second part of brute a reminder of the 1st John Brute a solo album (2012) where as the second one is a full band sound…Again the first Brute does have some memorable songs as it was then as it is NOW little changes for those less fortunate then us https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/nothings-gonna-change-for-us ……and that was then this is NOW

So please enjoy the track and thanx to all that made that. https://youtu.be/IlEJk1yLh40?si=7dRWUDwXCD_LbEgt

chorus/Discipline maketh Geeza Discipline maketh the Sheeza They are in the centre not the centre of attention x2 Discipline maketh the Geeza Discipline maketh the Sheeza They are in the centre no the centre of attention x2

1st verse.Portholes mimic amphetamines You aint out on anything You wont amount to anything Slippery slopes you well versed in Scales you aint versed in You keep on stepping on out You should be staying in x2 your words dont have a ounce of truth Discipline maketh the geez Parliament wont give you the brief Sheath used best way that you see And a true Jedi would not interfere with you You slipped out that was your prerogative Ok I am a specialist Kentak Wong I went to school with I am not dominating incumbent incubated I Grew strong pregnant with ideas I am still invigorating Moderation is a bastard philosophy Rebelled against it most of my life Moderation is a bastard philosophy rebelled against it most of life Yet most of my life

repeat chorus….then

2nd verse.Epiphany has not been lost Psychophant cheerleaders pay the cost The host ghost writers prose The vitrol is hot Pop dirge is akin to your hub Sonic Youth leads to health clubs We never going to go to health clubs x2 We do sitt ups at home Press ups at home Mama raised a shepherd not a sheep Got to spend a lott of time alone Born in the zone live in the zone I dont want to die alone Who wants to die alone? Feminist literature has a running theme It unveils the fact Men are obscene Oh men are obscene I tell you without admonishment Men would be worse My choice of women Not helped me become a better man Made me realise I am a man God damned I am While others pretend to be like the rest of the herd which becomes a silent soliloquy A fantasy So absurd its so absurd John Brute is better then your Shakespeare That’s his word that’s his word John Brute is better then your Shakespeare

Pictured above another of our designs///// then 3rd chorus then

3rd verse …So with discipline comes light and it comes joy pure joy with discipline you get light pure joy pure joy Love what you do work at what you do important to love what you work so you do what you got to do Bring light Bring light bring joy Rejoice Just a joyful noise unto the creator Invigorator Inspirator we dont need no respirator I see you later…….End.

Yes thanks for allowing me to be myself and try and show you the world of Luck.

We are doing a show this wknd 11.11.23 at the wonderful family pub run by a music lover. It is in salisbury Uk at the George and Dragon 85 castle street SP1 3SP. As I say it is about respect and easy times. The approach the communication. Venues places like that large or small we love to play. Chk our shows section.

We dont have agents managers we from time to time ask peoples (who tend to ignore me) and from time to time ask the likes of you (the gorgeous beautiful you) It is our cottage industry and we love to do what we do. Let local venues know what Luck is about and we can entertain you. No one does what we do because most just live in one paradigm. We are a part of this world. We swim in the ocean splash!!! till next time

There is nothing that cant be fixed. History is written by everybody. We can always fix what is broken. Only through speaking truth not the beautiful lie. The leader of the Etruscan Caribbean liberation army for the liberation of planet earth returned to the uk this week. To connect with his blood lines. We made time to connect and have a dance in Barking Abbey United Kingdom. We danced like nobodies watching. His new book is the third in the sequence this time focussing on Etruscan history and and how it was hidden by the dominating Roman Empire http://www.cpadver-effigi.com/blog/la-battaglia-di-bolsena-emilio-berrocal/ As all oppressive systems think that the old will die and young will forget, continually throughout history they are proven wrong. Truth will always win. Love is truth. Truth is love.

Music making is what we love to do. It is a conduit for our life and emotions. We are in the healing game. None in my career have had to contend with as much product from my “third rate genius” as Aide Hardy. He has done 5 albums and counting of mine. We are in pre production for two new albums one for our electric Rock band East End Trinity. The other for our sci-fi folk unit Babar Luck’s world citizen folk band. https://adiehardy.com/

He has also assisted with some fixing of Chronicles of John Brute part 2. which is uploaded and to be released in Dec 2023. A gift for those wonderful adventurers and entrepreneurs who raised me. I took notes and they made notes. They wanted me to tell their stories. Very adult themes and beautiful music from those outlaw landscapes. That is why we use the character John Brute aka Babar Luck. It is storytelling. So honoured to have those wonderful stories. As when young I told them “I have come to hear your wonderful stories.” YES. Because we love you guys and it is important to give freely and openly we have a exclusive track via our youtube channel appropriately named Discipline do chk it out we do ask if you could subscribe to our channel give a thumbs up. All appreciated. https://youtu.be/IlEJk1yLh40?si=ueSh3m9MnT6Q3fx1

Fixing. Talking about glue. Faith in glue. None has more faith in glue then the master Luthier extraordinaire Scrim. Scrim has salvaged and brought back our main guitar. He has also played on a few of my albums as a bassist. Yes blessed to have humans assist in more ways then just assist. The circle is small. Do chk our vast catalogue of music and see if you hear scrim and his confident simple playing. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/real-people-love yes that track is Intense it has Liam O Kane (vocals) on it Jody Betts (keyboards and guitar and vocals)Jessica Cahill (melodica) Happens to be a few peoples fave track of mine. Defo one of my “BabarReggae” top tunes.

Below is the drummer Andi laying down some grooves as we continue to complete our next instalments for East End Trinity. I thought I would give you a link to a track Andi wrote the words to. I feel Andi has many reasons to feel that track. A working class story. A universal tale. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/peace-in-the-sun

There it is and yes there is Harley who is six months now. she is smiling. It takes away the stress of life if one smiles. Continue to be the best you can as we shall try. Energy and good vibes to you all. Till next time. #realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong #Irishstaanee
