Greek-born indie-rock artist The Afro Nick is back with Get There Before Noon (LA Mix), a reimagined take on one of his signature tracks. Released on November 22, 2024, this fresh version showcases a dynamic fusion of raw energy and introspective lyricism, urging listeners to seize the day and embrace life’s fleeting moments.
Originally conceived in New York, the song has now been transformed in his Los Angeles home studio, where The Afro Nick has infused it with a renewed sense of urgency and depth. His artistic journey—from the sun-drenched streets of Crete, where Romani musicians shaped his early musical experiences, to the bustling creative hubs of New York and LA—resonates throughout the track. The blend of cultures and cities has left an undeniable imprint on his sound, creating an indie-rock anthem rich with emotion and texture.
Musically, Get There Before Noon (LA Mix) strikes a balance between grit and ethereality. Thick, driving guitar riffs intertwine with airy electronic elements, while The Afro Nick’s deep, raspy vocals add a layer of raw intensity. The song’s final refrain, “All you have to do is get there before noon,” encapsulates its core message—a reminder to move forward with intention before time slips away.
This latest release sees The Afro Nick collaborating once again with longtime bandmates. Greek bassist George Athanas and Grammy-winning synth player Leo Genovese, known for his work across multiple genres, bring their signature styles to the track, elevating its sonic richness. Their chemistry, forged during performances in New York and further refined in LA, brings a seamless, almost telepathic synergy to the music.
Beyond its infectious melodies, Get There Before Noon (LA Mix) carries an undeniable urgency. Lines like “You only have one life. You gotta do what you have to do and do it as soon as possible” deliver a powerful call to action. Born from a moment of personal reflection—specifically a hungover morning in NYC where The Afro Nick had to rush to a recording session—the song’s inspiration is as real and relatable as its message.
