The self written and produced album received massive critical acclaim earning them #1 and double platinum status and the 2011 SAMA Award for Best Selling Album Of The Year as well as Best Newcomer Of The Year. Following this, an international record deal and tour to go with it.
While touring the globe, Brian and Andrew began to write their experiences on a day to basis in preparation for a follow up album. Deciding to re-invent Locnville for the umpteenth time in their lives, they have revealed what they call Running To Midnight. The two describe the album as 'a complete experiment' and 'more blatant and honest' than their debut. Their follow up album reached #3 on the national charts in a mere 7 hours, peaking at #1 with mass critical acclaim yet again. The first single off Running To Midnight, Stars Above You has since peaked at #1 on national charts with the music video being chosen as Video Of The Week in A&R Worldwide, the industry's most respected source.
Running To Midnight is NOW AVAILABLE worldwide on iTunes and all music stores in South Africa.
As rumours go, there is ofcourse talk of a new project on the way, which is all speculation at present. Given the brothers' mysterious ways, we look forward to seeing what Locnville has to offer next!

LCNVL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gettin' wasted, can't believe we made it
Gettin' drunk and rollin' papers
We gon' turn this club to Vegas, spendin' all the cash they paid us
Party like we just got famous
Girl, come turn up in my section, know you're boyfriend ain't gon' let you, fuck him, tell you're best friends to come with you, ain't no last call for liquor, if she smile at me, I'm gon' get her, I make that dude she came with bitter, now she takin' shots and poppin' pills, all she wanted was a picture with Locnville, look where that got you.
Wendy take my hand, I'm no, I'm no Peter Pan, but baby, I'll take you to Neverland.
Gettin' wasted, can't believe we made it
We gon' turn this club to Vegas, spendin' all the cash they paid us
Party like we just got famous
She said what up, I said hello, that was already enough, she wanna go, runnin' her mouth, I am the one who do not give a, oh shit, could you keep up, world stamps on my visa, and now the whole world gon' see us.
Oh, she drop it good, she drop it good like that, she say she with her friends, she got the whole night planned, but since I got the good she wanna take it from me, but I just count my blessings like I count my money.
Wendy take my hand, I'm no, I'm no Peter Pan, but baby, I'll take you to Neverland.
Gettin' wasted, can't believe we made it
Gettin' drunk and rollin' papers
We gon' turn this club to Vegas, spendin' all the cash they paid us
Party like we just got famous
The lyrics of LCNVL's song Wasted have a fairly self-explanatory theme of partying and indulging in drugs and alcohol. The singer seems to be encouraging a girl named Wendy to join him in a night of wild revelry, describing himself as not being Peter Pan but still offering to take her to Neverland. The chorus repeats the phrase "Gettin' wasted, can't believe we made it" over and over, emphasizing the reckless abandon of the partygoers.
The lyrics paint a picture of a club turned into a Las Vegas-style party, with the group spending all the money they have earned. They seem to relish in the idea of making their presence known, partying like they just became famous. The verse also touches on the idea of infidelity, as the singer urges Wendy to come to his section even though he knows her boyfriend won't let her. The empowerment message of "tell your best friends to come with you" further adds to the idea of this being a carefree, wild night.
The bridge of the song brings up an interesting layer to the lyrics. The singer boasts about his global travels, with world stamps on his visa and the whole world now seeing him. This sudden shift in focus, even if minor, seems to add a hint of insecurity to the bravado earlier in the song. It could suggest that the wild night is nothing more than an attempt to escape the pressures of fame and show that they can still have fun like everyone else.
Overall, LCNVL's song Wasted embodies a celebratory, party anthem with lyrics that don't try to hide the wild indulgences of youth. While there isn't much depth to the lyrics, the repetition of the chorus and the relentless energy of the song create a feeling of excitement and freedom.

Girl, come turn up in my section, know you're boyfriend ain't gon' let you, fuck him, tell you're best friends to come with you, ain't no last call for liquor, if she smile at me, I'm gon' get her, I make that dude she came with bitter, now she takin' shots and poppin' pills, all she wanted was a picture with Locnville, look where that got you.
I invite you to party with me, even if your boyfriend won't allow it. Forget him and bring your friends. There's no limit to drinking tonight, and if you show interest in me, I'll make sure your boyfriend is jealous. Now you're taking shots and drugs, all because you wanted a picture with me. Look at where that's gotten you.
She said what up, I said hello, that was already enough, she wanna go, runnin' her mouth, I am the one who do not give a, oh shit, could you keep up, world stamps on my visa, and now the whole world gon' see us.
She greeted me, and I returned the gesture, but that was all it took for her to want to leave with me. She's talking too much, and I'm indifferent to her words. Can you keep up with me as I travel the world with my visa? Now everyone will see us together.
Oh, she drop it good, she drop it good like that, she say she with her friends, she got the whole night planned, but since I got the good she wanna take it from me, but I just count my blessings like I count my money.
She's dancing seductively and has a fun night planned with her friends. But because I have something good (money, drugs, etc.), she wants it from me. I'm grateful for my blessings, however, and don't let her distract me from that.
Wendy take my hand, I'm no, I'm no Peter Pan, but baby, I'll take you to Neverland.
The night's not over, and I'll continue to bring you on a wild adventure.
Gettin' wasted, can't believe we made it
We're still going hard and can't believe we're still going.
Gettin' drunk and rollin' papers
We're continuing to drink and smoke.
We gon' turn this club to Vegas, spendin' all the cash they paid us
We're going all out and spending all the money we earned at this club.
Party like we just got famous
We're still living it up like celebrities.
