Lazy

When I first heard Lazy describe their sound they replied “gothic soul; Like Al Green with blood on the sheets”. While an abstract description at best it draws the same kind of energy that spawned their punk sentiments. The band first formed as Lazy K formed in late 2009 for a cold night of Gun Club covers at a dive bar in Lawrence, KS. After the winter the band went on to write their own original material . Lazy is a four piece made up of Sarica Douglas, Brock Potucek, Matt Huff, and Zach Van Benthusen. Past and presently the members have been apart of such projects: Fortuning, The Church (A RIP DIY Space in KC), Ssion, Whoop Dee Doo, Biker Chick and the Riff Raffs, Cunt-Alope and Witch and Hare.

In the summer of 2010 they entered the studio with Ad Astra Arkestra band leader Mike Tuley to record their self titled debut. Immediately following the recording sessions the band took their antics on a summer tour down the west coast. Before they left on tour they signed to hometown label The Record Machine for the release of debut ep and 7″ which was released the winter of 2011. Lazy is currently writing and working on material for the follow up release.

“The Lazy EP is sloppy where it needs to be, but without the studied
faux lethargy of Pavement. Its combo of relaxation and focus portends
good things for the band’s future.” Ink

“The local art-rock band’s self-titled EP is sopped with Modern Lovers
beats, Velvet Underground dissonance and lo-fi discord…” The Pitch
