In 1997, Lucca took to the internet with his independent debut, So Satisfied. Having sold 2000 copies within a year, he then followed that up with the 1999 release, Strong Words, Softly Spoken. With only the internet and constant touring, Lucca went on to sell a total of 10,000 records in just a few short years. After garnering the 2001 LA Music Award for best male singer/songwriter, Tony Lucca had created quite a buzz with industry insiders and managed to take to the road opening for recording mega stars like *NSync and Marc Anthony, sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists such as Macy Gray, Johnny Lang, and the late great Chris Whitley.
After several years of indy perseverance, Lucca released his first commercially distributed album in 2004. Shotgun, the consummate road trip record, takes the listener for a ride.
In 2005, Lucca released Anatomy of a Blackbird, a live concert dvd with a close-up, behind the scenes look at life on the road during his 2004 California tour. The documentary and 12 song set give an honest glimpse into the world of an artist hard at work and enjoying every minute of it.
August of 2006 ushered in the release of Lucca's 4th full length studio effort, Canyon Songs. This collection of songs was written and recorded entirely up in the canyons of Los Angeles. Canyon Songs is an homage to the thriving singer/songwriter spirit of the late 60's and early 70's that took Laurel Cayon out of it's mystical obscurity and placed it right dead smack in the middle of mainstream poular music. From the Joni Mitchell-laced "Songbird" to the Eagles-like "Darlin' I" Lucca reveals his earliest influences with the kind of maturity and respect that only comes with time. It's here that Lucca expresses his appreciation for song in a way that seems to be absent in so much of today's contemporary music.
The consummate live performer, Lucca has etched out an extensive national following. From the folk-friendly venues of the lower East side, to the hype-crazed clubs on the Sunset Strip, and with the help of a national street team of close to 1000 devoted listeners, Tony Lucca has made a rather impressive name for himself as an artist not to be missed
Devil Town
Tony Lucca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
All my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
All my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town
I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town, about the devil town
I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
Tony Lucca's song "Devil Town" tells a story of a person who lives in a town that turns out to be full of darkness and evil. The singer describes his realization that he was living in a devil town, but he did not recognize it at first. He reflects on the feeling of being brought down by this town, and on the people he once thought were his friends, but are actually vampires. The lyric "Turns out I was a vampire myself" suggests that the singer too was caught up in the darkness of the town and that he too was part of this "evil" community.
The lyrics of "Devil Town" are open to interpretation, but they can be seen as a metaphor for people who struggle with negative aspects of their lives. The devil town could represent a situation or a place that brings someone down, while the singer's realization of being a vampire can symbolize someone struggling with addiction or other internal demons. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeing past external appearances and recognizing the inner struggles of oneself and others.
Line by Line Meaning
I was living in a devil town
I was residing in a wicked, corrupted place where evil deeds are common
Didn't know it was a devil town
I was unaware that the place I'm living in is evil, bad, and full of immoral activities
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
The realization that I have been living in such a place fills me with sadness and despair
About the devil town
The place I'm referring to is infamous for its malevolent nature
All my friends were vampires
My companions, who I thought were normal and friendly, were actually manipulative and toxic individuals
Didn't know they were vampires
I had no idea that my friends were using me and draining me of my energy and emotions like vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
It dawned on me that I was, in fact, just like my friends, feeding off others' emotions and lacking empathy
In the devil town
All this was happening in a place known for its wickedness and immorality

This song playing during the final scene of the first season makes for my favorite ending of any season of television ever. Brilliantly edited together.
