With their songs being highlighted around the world by cult DJs, radio stations and the music blogosphere, LOLA LOLA have traveled the Iberian highways to clubs and festivals, firing up audiences and leaving a trail of worn shoes and infatuated eardrums behind them.
On their second adventure with Chaputa! Records, LOLA LOLA present us a revisitation of the mythical traditional blues song “Baby Please Don’t Go”. Popularized in 1935 by the Delta musician Big Joe Williams, it became one of the most covered songs in history, by names with the notoriety of Muddy Waters or Rose Mitchell, now interpreted in the unmistakable style of the band from Porto.
On the B-side, they beckon us with “Goodbye”, a dense and rushed song, straight from the band’s guts to the listeners’ nerve endings, begging to be consecrated on the dancefloors of Goldhawk or Marquee Club.
LOLA LOLA’s fifth 7” once again counts on their friends Nuno Riviera for the production and mixing, and Mike Mariconda for the mastering, all illustrated by the Spanish tattooist and designer Carmela Maracas, originally from Granada, who shares with the band the aesthetics of the golden decades of the last century.

A- Baby Please Don’t Go

With their roots in the ever pulsating and innovative creative movement in the city of Porto, LOLA LOLA were formed in 2014, from the union of a very experienced and tested musical trio: Tiago Gil (Guitar), Miguel Lourenço (Bass) e Hélder Coelho (Drums), all formerly of Os Tornados, to which were added the disconcerting voice of Carla Capela, known in Porto’s nightlife circuit as DJ Just Honey, and a powerful baritone sax, currently in the hands of the master Rui Teixeira.
Nurtured by the musical universe of the 50s and 60s, and inspired by R&B/Popcorn, 50s/60s and Rock’n’Roll, Lola Lola signed in early 2015 with the prestigious independent label, “Sleazy Records”, and released in the intervening period singles “Money in the Can” (June/2015), “Sweet Lovin’” (December/2016), “Voodoo Man/Voodoo Woman” (February/2018), and by the sovereign Chaputa!
