Nicolas Larek

Meet Nicolas Larek from Gien, France.

Hi there. My name is Nicolas, I'm 24 and I'm French. I'm a real big fan of Supertramp and Roger Hodgson, but last year, I wanted a new album and I saw "The Definitive America." I listened to it in the store and thought that it could be a nice album. I decided to buy it without knowing anything about this band. It was a discovery for me, I listened to it 1000 times, everywhere. Then I bought the 77 Live, Holiday, Harbor, and Gerry's efforts, Van Go Gan and Like A Brother. Thanks to the Internet it's easy to be informed and I learned a lot.

I really love their music. What is surprising is the fact that as a big fan of Supertramp as I have been since I was ten years old, I was sad at the departure of Roger Hodgson in 1983, and the band lost its creativity and solidity since then. But I don't feel the same about Dan, perhaps because I'm a new fan. I guess that the older fans must be disappointed like I was with Supertramp!!!

The paradox is the similarity between Supertramp and America. They both are famous, a member left the band during a time of success, Roger and Dan are very deep in connection with the Lord. It's peculiar!!!

I hope that Gerry and Dewey will come play in France soon and I'm proud to be among you.

Thanks for everything.
Keep the way you are.
Love to you all.
