THE LAZYS THE LAZYS Are you ready to rock? Then meet THE LAZYSone of Australia's best and most talked about live Rock andRollbands. THE LAZYSdont sweet-talk and they offer not an ounce of glamour.Live they are gritty, loud, edgy and dangerous. They always deliver a fistful of rock 'n roll, as they demonstrate on their sizzlingnew self titled album.
The Australian rock audience demands honesty, energy, andthe ability to deliver the goods live in their Rock n Roll bands. That is a tradition dating back to the likes of AC/DC (a clear reference point for THE LAZYS),through to TheSaints, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel and Silverchair.
Those traits are also valued by Canadian rock fans, so it is no surprise that they're taking to THE LAZYS faster than a great white sharkto an Aussie surfer. THE LAZYS hit theseshores for the first time in 2014,on a tour that sparked a mutual love affair between the band and Canada, a country that guitaristMatt Morris calls "our new home away from home." He explains that"Canada was the very first overseas tour for us as a band. Our first showwas in a small town called Chicoutimi and it was one of the best gigs I've everplayed. The people, the crowd...... It was just soooo intense and supportive.They definitely love their rock and roll! I love Canada!"
That first incursion included showcases at Canadian MusicWeek 2014 in Toronto, where THE LAZYS quicklybecame the buzz band of the fest. "Playing Canadian Music Week was justinsane," recalls Matt. "Great crowds, amazing venues and the support from everybody was just fantastic. I had the time of my life, I hada ball!" CMW has proved career-changing for the band. As a result of THE LAZYS CMW performances[three showcases within 23 hours!], renowned Canadian artist manager Larry Wanagas of Bumstead Productions signed them to a management agreement to represent them worldwide, outside ofAustralia and New Zealand.
Ralph James at United Talent Agency(formerly The AgencyGroup)was also instantly turned into a believer at CMW, signing THE LAZYS forexclusive concert booking in Canada. Superstar hard rock producer/engineer GGGarth Richardson(Rage Against The Machine, Nickelback, Mtley Cre) was so blown away by one incendiary CMW set, he arranged to produce two new tracks at his Vancouverstudio.
The rest of the album was produced by the ace Canadianproduction team of Gus Van Go and Werner F. (Monster Truck, The Stills, Hollerado, The Trews, Priestess), and it perfectly captures their marriage of rockmuscle and melody.
Since then, THE LAZYShave failed to live up to their name, choosing instead to work hard at theircraft, honing their chops both in the studio and on stage
