The Good Luck Joes is a band originally from East Grand Rapids, Michigan and is currently on the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Third Ward Records label. They began to practice together as a band in 2002. The band consists of Andrew Martin on lead vocals and guitar, Andrew Krei on lead guitar and backing vocals, Joe Scheltema on bass guitar and backing vocals, Peterson Goodwyn on drums/percussion, and Andrew Citron on keyboards/piano.

It was in 2004 that they released their first album, self-titled "The Good Luck Joes". The album circulated among a relatively small group of people, and the band remained relatively unknown. In 2005, with the help of Milwaukee-based producer Joe Puerta, the band recorded a 5-song EP entitled "48 Hours EP", featuring the title track "48 Hours". After receiving the encouragement of numerous musicians and industry professionals, the band enlisted the services of LA-based producer Chad Fischer (Lazlo Bane, Cary Brothers, Alexi Murdoch, Colin Hay) to assist in the creation of their second full-length album, "What Do You Think of That Noise?". The album was released in 2006, and the band subsequently embarked on a tour, opening for the 80's synth-pop outfit ABC at venues including the House of Blues Chicago and Cleveland, Hard Rock Cafe (Myrtle Beach), Ram's Head Live (Baltimore), and Canal Room (NYC). Other bands they have performed with include Colin Hay, Thomas Dolby, The English Beat, Naked Eyes, The Click 5, Tommy Keene, The White Tie Affair, and nationally recognized acoustic-rock act Down the Line. In September 2006, their lead song from "What Do You Think...?", "Middle of Me", was used in promo spots for the ABC show Six Degrees and the band made some national waves.
