Nick Anastasakis, the Greek musician better known as the frontman of The Afro Nick, is back with his new single, “Get There Before Noon.” This track is a fresh take on an older recording, reimagined and polished in Nick’s home studio in Los Angeles. It’s a mix of soulful, psychedelic rock and a heartfelt message about living life to the fullest.
Nick’s story begins on the island of Crete, where he grew up listening to Romani musicians play their guitars on the streets. That raw, passionate energy became a big part of his musical DNA. Before moving to New York and later settling in LA, Nick toured Crete with his old band, Stray Blue. Now, under The Afro Nick, he’s making music that’s bold, free, and deeply personal. Joining him are bassist George Athanas, a long-time friend from Crete, and synth player Leo Genovese, a Grammy winner who shares Nick’s passion for creating music that feels alive.
Get There Before Noon
The idea for “Get There Before Noon” came to Nick on a hectic morning in New York. After a long night with friends, he woke up hungover but had to rush to a recording session. That sense of urgency sparked the song’s main message: don’t wait—do what you need to do before it’s too late. With lyrics like “I got to live this life, not yesterday,” the song pushes you to seize the moment and follow your own path.
The music itself is just as powerful. The thick guitar riffs, catchy electronic melodies, and Nick’s raspy voice give the song an emotional depth that sticks with you. It’s the kind of track that makes you stop and think about what really matters in your life.
At its heart, “Get There Before Noon” is about breaking free from doubt and hesitation. It’s a reminder to stop overthinking and start doing—whether that means chasing your dreams, fixing a relationship, or just showing up for yourself. The final line, “And all you have to do is get there before noon,” sums it up perfectly. It’s not about rushing; it’s about making the most of the time you have.
This song feels like a wake-up call for anyone who’s ever felt stuck. It tells you to take charge of your life, let go of what’s holding you back, and move forward with confidence. With its inspiring message and vibrant energy, “Get There Before Noon” is a track that will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take on the day. Don’t wait—give it a listen and see where it takes you.
