Nizlopi is Luke Concannon and John Parker, two friends who’ve been writing and playing music together since their early teens. Luke handles the heartfelt lyrics, the endlessly soulful vocals, and his beloved guitar, while JP sets jaws-dropping with his masterful double-bass playing, his breathtaking human beat-boxing, and a little extra guitar playing of his own for good measure. Together these boys have created a genre defying sound all of their own that’s earned them plenty of love around the UK, and now America and Europe!

At the end of 2005 they achieved chart success with their huge number one hit JCB Song, and were introduced to the mad worlds of Top Of The Pops, and Richard and Judy, amongst numerous other surreal places in TV land. But their chart victory didn’t happen overnight. Since the release of their debut album ‘Half These Songs Are About You’, Nizlopi have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the country, this two-man human hurricane have been playing a never-ending run of live shows in venues ranging in style from fans’ living rooms, to sold out appearances at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, to festivals as prestigious as Glastonbury, Bestival, and the 02 Wireless festival.

Nizlopi’s aim is always to break down the barriers between performers and audiences. They enjoy nothing more than heading down into the crowd to play acoustically, and give their shows that extra feeling of intimacy that’s unforgettable for anyone who gets to take part. Nizlopi gigs are energetic, personal, anthemic, spiritual, and overwhelmingly positive affairs and they’re the best chance to see the boys in their element.

September 2006 saw the release of Nizlopi’s brand new limited edition mini-album ‘ExtraOrdinary”, along with 3 weeks of bringing their unique live sound to thousands around the UK on their 12 date UK tour.  The boys then took themselves across the channel playing to fifty thousand fans throughout November whilst on tour with Jamie Cullum.  The last days of November also saw Luke and John invited to rock the prestigious Wembley Arena for two sold out nights with Christina Aguilera.  The first few days of December saw them joining folk-hero Billy Bragg onstage at the famous Hackney Empire to perform together.

At the end of January 2007, Nizlopi will head back into the studio to record their long-awaited second album, due for release in the summertime.
