Good Luck Jane is a pop/rock band from Chicago, Illinois, United States. The band consists of Joey Busse (lead vocals), Andrew Slutsky (lead guitar, keys, vocals), Dan Wywrot (rhythm guitar), Danny Katz (bass) and Jake Cooper (drums). Their first EP "Word of the Week" was recorded in June 2009. Their inspiration ranged from Fall Out Boy, The Cab, The Rocket Summer, to John Mayer.[1][2]
History[edit]
During their high school years, all five members had band experience in different schools. Jake Cooper and Andrew Slutsky went to high school together, and were involved in numerous bands. Danny Katz was involved in a band in his high school, while Joey was involved in a choir and Dan Wywrot started playing acoustic guitar.[3][4]
Joey, Andrew, Dan and Jake all came together during their freshman year of college at University of Illinois. During the time, the band was called The 22, at University of Illinois there was a bus route that would connect all 4 members together as well as a road back home, and it was called "Route 22". Danny was later recruited and the band changed their name in June 2009.[5]
Moving into their sophomore year at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Good Luck Jane began to gain notoriety for arranging their own version of the popular hit song, "Replay" by IYAZ. The band took their version to Mike Goveare (Every Avenue) to officially record. Good Luck Jane's "Replay" was released in December 2010 on YouTube. The song quickly gained viral success and helped position Good Luck Jane favorably within the pop/rock market.
The band parted ways in 2012 after graduating from the University of Illinois. Despite breaking up, the members all remain close friends. Most recently, Jake Cooper & Joey Busse have released a series of self-produced singles, featured on some of the most popular music curation channels on YouTube and amassing more than 1 million cross-platform streams.
