The Dead Lovers sound is retro, sexy and provocative.

It borrows from blues, rockabilly, folk, sixties beat and even seventies glam rock, but always remains convincing, unique and utterly irresistible. They weave a canvas of melodic vocal harmonies over soundscapes ranging from dirty blues guitar stomps to atmospheric reverb drenched ballads.
Since their incarnation a few years ago, they have already turned plenty of heads on their travels and been asked to contribute songs to a bunch of large budget cinema films and TV shows. Their lush vintage sound lends itself easily to pictures.
The Dead Lovers are a core duo of Lula and Wayne Jackson, though they frequently bring in reinforcements from their circle of musician friends when they play live.

Wayne’s first band The Dostoyevskys came from Manchester and achieved minor cult status in the mid 90s with their legendary live shows, before splitting shortly after supporting Oasis at the height of their Brit Pop fame. Wayne relocated to Berlin and released two solo albums and co-wrote and sang “The Other Side” with Paul Van Dyk, which achieved global recognition. He picked up a gold disk for co-producing the first two solo albums from one of Germany's true bona fide rock stars; Bela B. He also played in Bela's band Los Helmstedt headlining Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park.

Lula hails from a small village in Bavaria and her track record is equally impressive and varied; working as a singer, a songwriter, and a published photographer. She had the honour of singing a duet with Lee Hazlewood on his final ever recording shortly before his untimely death. She also played in Bela's live band.
Lula ad Wayne have been great friends for many years and it was inevitable that sooner or later they would make something of their shared love of vintage vinyl albums and The Dead Lovers were born. They have been tearing it up on stages across Europe these last couple of years, earning a reputation for the energy of their live shows and playing a host of support slots with Charles Bradley, Imelda May, The Baseballs and even Roger Hodgson of Supertramp fame.
In June last year, they jetted off to The Lost Ark Studio in San Diego to record their second album; the very place where they had so much fun recording the debut album three years earlier. The Lost Ark Studio is not only a top notch studio with an incredible engineer who worked for Nora Jones and The Rolling Stones amongst others, but it harbors one the biggest collection of vintage guitars and amps you might find anywhere on earth. To achieve authenticity, they wanted not only to record where the first wave of rock'n roll was recorded but they also wanted to use the very same instruments and equipment it had been recorded with. Situated between Mexico, the Pacific Ocean and the desert, The Lost Ark studio was the perfect location for them capture something very special on tape.

The Dead Lovers second album “Slow Black” will be released on June 9th 2017
