Over the last few years Max Justus has been cooking up his own brand of dance and electronic grooves for Kansas City’s The Record Machine label. His latest album Mercy is his third for them. While Mercy still finds Max expanding his signature grooves and brooding electronic tones it focuses more on vocal approach and songwriting. Max’s last few albums have been primarily instrumental affairs while Mercy finds him lending his voice to bolster his compositions. Mercy still retains a few pop gems and dance hall grooves but the overall tone of the album is more dark and foreboding then his previous works.
Here is the newest video for our band Lazy. It features wonderfully fitting live HD footage of all their antics. You never quite know what you are going to get when you see them live but you do know that it will be good time and you are sure to be entertained.
We are very excited to announce that this spring we are working together with Ink magazine to bring a brand new music festival to Kansas City. It means a lot to us that we were able to bring the kind of world class entertainment that we were and have ours bands and our friends sharing the stage with them. I am really excited to see what it does for the Kansas City Music community.

The festival will feature Daniel Johnston, Two Door Cinema Club, Cursive, Margot &
The Nuclear So and So’s, The Raveonettes, The Appleseed Cast, El Ten Eleven, Dosh,
