The Lazys Announce New EP & National Tour Dates
Steve-0, 26-Apr-09 » THE LAZYS ANNOUNCE NEW EP +
NATIONAL TOUR DATES!!
Sydney rockers, The Lazys, will release their highly anticipated self-titled EP on May 1, backed by a full national tour – their first since the band’s massive success after the JD Set national tour.
The Lazys burst onto the Sydney scene in 2006, and quickly built a loyal fan base following a national tour supporting Something With Numbers to an estimated 20,000 people. Since then, The Lazys have been fortunate enough to have graced the stage with many other bands including US Rockers Against Me, UK’s The Answer, Hollywood’s Juliette and the Licks, Grinspoon and After the Fall before scoring coveted billing on the main stage at Come together and Coaster festivals with The Living End, Kisschasy & Cog.
The band took their next step in the studio with producer Phil McKellar (Grinspoon/Silverchair). Double A Single “All Fired up / Union of the Underdogs” was released in July 2008, played on Nova and JJJ. This immediately caught the attention of Australian Music legend Michael Chugg who put the boys forward to Jack Daniels to go on the inaugural JD Set.
After being voted on to the set in record numbers, the band set off around Australia showcasing their renowned live Set. When lead vocalist Leon Harrison twisted his knee jumping 20 feet off the top of Marshall cabinets at the Gaelic club they jumped right back on the tour bus headed to Perth, crutches and all, for the last set of the JD Tour. And in November last year after securing more than 8000 votes, Gyroscope and Jabba presented the band live on stage in Melbourne with the Inaugural Jack Daniels Winners award.
With 2009 well on its way things are shaping up for what will be a massive year for the five-piece, with their track “All Fired Up” being licensed for the new Channel 7 series “Thank God You’re Here”. Recorded in the legendary Albert studios, home of AC/DC, it’s a showcase of the band’s sheer ability. Instantly memorable songs, catchy as hell with huge choruses, thrashing guitar solos, a driving rhythm section and topped with Leon’s howling vocals. There’s nothing out there like it. Unforgettable, hard and edgy you’ll be hearing it in your head long after you’ve turned it off.
The Lazys will be on tour throughout 2009 supported by Jack Daniels, catch them playing in a town near you.
Tour dates are:
Wednesday April 29: Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle, Sydney, NSW
Friday May 8: Spectrum, Sydney, NSW
Saturday May 16: The Globe, Brisbane, QLD
Thursday May 21: Spurs Tavern, Devonport, TAS
Friday May 22: Hotel New York, Launceston, TAS
