Premiere: The Afro Nick races the clock in ‘Get There Before Noon’

We’ve all been there: we’re racing against time to do something or go somewhere and struggling to motivate ourselves. Without wanting to make the obvious reference, sometimes you really need to just get it done. Nick Anastasakis wrote a song about that sense of urgency.

The Greece-born and LA-based musician, who records as The Afro Nick, says he was inspired after a particularly rough hangover: “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. […] You only have one life. You gotta do what you have to do and do it as soon as possible.”

Taking his own advice to heart, there should be more music arriving from Anastasakis before long; in the meantime we’re premiering the video for ‘Get There Before Noon’ below.
