  Ink 19 :: Lookwell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Lookwell come across like a Michael Stipe-fronted Luna, the melody lines curving snakelike through songs that will sit splendidly next to your indie pop faves of the nineties.
The opening "Autobahn" is an amazing track that should secure Lookwell a bright future on your local college radio playlist, but a couple of the remaining four songs become a tad too lulling and complacent for their own good.
The music is beautifully arranged, the songs wrapped in gently swaying linens, but perhaps Lookwell would do well to step out of the comforting swirl they create for themselves in order to focus on and expose their songs more clearly and individually.

 IOL: Against the wind — Lookwell's 'Orca' jacket
Dutch bikewear manufacturer Lookwell started in Eindhoven in 1974 by making leather suits for hardcore sports bikers; from the beginning a large proportion of their products went straight onto the track to be put to the ultimate test.
Lookwell's best-known "road tester", however, is adventurer Sjaak Lucassen, who rode a Honda Fireblade 235 000km to the ends of the earth while wearing a Lookwell racing suit every day for three years.
Lookwell has taken this idea a step further, with a second lining, a mini-cape that zips inside the shoulders and fits tightly around your neck with Velcro.

Lookwell hail from Greensboro, NC, a city with a rich and surprisingly active local music scene that too often gets lost in the late afternoon shadow cast by the much brew ha-ha'd Chapel Hill scene.
Band members Chris Jackson (vocals, guitar), Jason Kennedy (bass, keyboards, vocals), and Lonnie Richardson (drums, vocals) decided early on to eschew the prevalent neo-garage stylings and mythos of many of their contemporaries, opting instead for a subtler blend of 80's college rock and Americanized Brit-pop.
Lookwell's current press release even references certain band members resorting to selling off their childhood Star Wars toy collection in order to keep the 2 inch tape rolling on latter day sessions.

 Lookwell: Unurried Aversion.com Review
Lookwell sounds like a cross between R.E.M., the Red House Painters and Echo and the Bunnymen at their popper moments.
Unfortunately, they fail to grasp the intricacies that made those bands stand the test of time: Lookwell’s members spent all their time studying the singles, but forgot to listen to the rest of the album, which leaves listeners with is five songs of hushed melodies, nondescript rhythm sections, and the occasional foray into shoe-gazing territory.
Lookwell proves to be fine musicians, however Unhurried lacks that special something that pushes a band beyond Red House Painters-lite status.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Lookwell: Unhurried
Greensboro, NC's Lookwell hearken back to a brief period in the mid-'90s when REM seemed poised to shape the course of underground rock for the foreseeable future.
At this point, Lookwell are clearly proficient at their chosen style -- this is catchy pop-rock that could have fit comfortably between Toad the Wet Sprocket and Semisonic on alternative radio before the nu-metal hordes descended.
If they work a little harder at finding their own voice, Lookwell may venture beyond their mid-Atlantic circuit and discover a world of more varied climates.

It's my understanding from discussions with Lookwell representatives that it has all of the same features as their best suits, but without the "speed hump" on the back and without the race-quality armor (more about that later).
It's not easy to tell from the photos on the Lookwell or Lookwell USA website, but the Viper suit is perforated across the chest and in front of the arms.
But one thing to remember is that Lookwell, although not a household name in the U.S.A., has been making leather clothing and motorcycle racing leathers for over 30 years, so they know what works and what doesn't.

 Commentary: TV's canceled shows and pilots live again
Among the failed pilots featured in "Brilliant But Cancelled" is "Lookwell," which Trio describes as an underground cult classic.
Trio dissects the development of "Lookwell," informing viewers that network executives loved the script but hated the idea of handing the starring role to West, best known as the star of the campy '60s TV version of "Batman."
Bernie Brillstein, whose production company made "Lookwell," told Trio he is certain that viewers "would have jumped on" the show if it had made it to prime time.

 DVD Talk Forum - New "Brilliant But Cancelled" Trio series in Sept - focusing on lost pilots
In this 1991 pilot, acting teacher Ty Lookwell (Adam West), a '70s TV detective, turns his honorary badge into a license to solve crimes, albeit ineptly.
In this 1991 drama pilot, Pam Dawber plays a mystery writer who clashes with the ex-con (George Clooney) who's helping her revitalize her television show.
Legendary canceled pilots (the sort previously seen only by audiences at L.A.'s hipster cabaret "The Other Network") finally get their day in the sun, from 1999's "Heat Vision and Jack" (a campy Jack Black superhero sitcom) to 1993's "Lookwell" (starring Adam West of "Batman" as a TV detective turned real-life shamus).

But the main reason is Lookwell, the last detective sitcom from Andy Barker co-creator/producer Conan O’Brien.

Lookwell never made it past the pilot, which aired only once in 1991.

Every couple of months, they run a "Brilliant But Cancelled" promotion featuring network shows that died before their time, like "Ernie Kovacs," "East Side/West Side," etc. (though it's a stretch to put "The PJs" into that category, if for no other reason than they had a three-season run).
This 1991 pilot starred Adam West as an actor who played "Bannigan," a TV cop many years ago, but still tries to solve crimes whether the LAPD needs his help or not.
It was written by Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien and featured such business as West's Ty Lookwell brandishing his honorary police badge, encased in Lucite, and explaining the difference his character and others:"Hey, weren't you Banacek?"
