19th NERVOUS BREAKDOWN – A Tribute to The Rolling Stones
NICK LUTSKO & THE $100K BAND
Nick Lutsko is a musician from Chattanooga, Tennessee who makes unhinged comedy songs with hooks so infectious and anthemic they’ll stick in your brain for months. While Lutsko has been making music for years both in traditional songwriting like his 2019 album Swords and writing parody tunes for places like Super Deluxe, I interviewed him in 2021 for VICE about the music that would make up his album Songs on the Computer. That LP is a collection of joke songs he posted first as Twitter videos from 2019 to 2021 including unsolicited theme songs for Spirit Halloween, Netflix’s The Irishman, and increasingly dark takes on the Republican National Convention, Trump Jr., and Dan Bongino. His videos are bonkers, combining jokes with horror and occasionally outlandish puppets. It’s better experienced than explained on paper. Few people captured the absurdity of that era better than Lutsko.
