With Get There Before Noon (LA Mix), The Afro Nick delivers an electrifying alt-rock anthem that celebrates seizing the day and embracing life’s fleeting moments. Recorded across the bustling streets of New York City, the track masterfully blends elements of indie, alternative, and psychedelic rock, creating a sound that feels both modern and timeless.
Frontman Nick Anastasakis describes the idea behind the soulful anthem as coming to him quite literally. “After a late and long hangout at my apartment in NYC I woke up with a hangover but I had to go record for another artist and I had to get there before noon,” he explains. With lyrics such as, “And on one day, you gonna miss that day,” and “I got to live this life, not yesterday,” the track seems to be urging listeners to seize the day before it’s too late, and to do so according to the beat of your own drum.
Growing up on the island of Crete, Nick credits the local romani people, “playing their guitars for coins on the Venetian cobblestone streets,” as one of his earliest musical influences. Before settling in New York and then LA, Nick toured throughout Crete - an unusual feat for an indie rock band at the time- with his former group, Stray Blue. Since then, he has been releasing as the self-produced and liberated artist, The Afro Nick, a nod also to his own “wild and expressive hair.”
This song is more than a listening experience—it’s a reminder to cherish every moment and make the most of the time we have. Don’t let it pass you by.
