I Love The Nightlife

From the dark black and red recesses of the risque Rebel Lounge on South Boulevard to the Wild After Hours Psychedelia inspired Emergency Room on Monroe Road, Alicia Bridges would “rock their socks off”, not just sometimes, but every time she sang.


 
 

 Alicia Bridges was born in Charlotte North Carolina. She grew up in the nearby rural hamlet of Lawndale, NC. Alicia began to write songs and play guitar at the age of ten, when her dad Myles Bridges taught her to strum her first chords on his Gibson tenor guitar. At 12, she launched her own radio program in Shelby, NC on station WADA. "The Alicia Bridges Show” aired every Saturday morning, with Alicia at the control board, cueing records and accepting requests like a pro. 


 At thirteen, Alicia performed with a popular North Carolina group, The Ray Ledford Band. As lead singer of rock band Zachary Ridge, she sang to the Love Generation and Flower Children of the early 70s. Alicia met southern publishing mogul, Bill Lowery of Atlanta and relocated from NC. In 76 Alicia Bridges and Susan Hutcheson partnered and began writing for Lowery. 


 Scanning the top ten charts one weekend, Alicia noticed songs containing either ‘Boogie’ or ‘Disco’. Inspired, the writing team penned the now famed, “I Love The Nightlife.  Alicia recorded her disco anthem in the late seventies. Her resounding “I Want Some Action” along with the song title “I Love The Nightlife” caught the spirit of the times. 


Never straying far from her roots, she along with her partner, Mary LeTellier founded Alicia Bridges Music, a subsidiary of FDXX Creative Work Productions. Together they released 3 albums, “This Girl Don’t Care”, “Say It Sister”, and “FauxDiva XX”. All are available for download on iTunes and CD purchase on CDBaby.com. “This Girl Don’t Care” features Alicia’s versatile style with a mix of her songs from Rock to Eighties Punk. “Say It Sister” continues with her Rock and Roll roots, adds the twist of sultry Torch Songs”, and “I Love The Nightlife” remixed to highlight Jay Scott’s saxophone solo.

Combined with a digitally enhanced studio quality rendition of “I Love The Nightlife”, which makes this a priceless addition to your audio library.
