Their newest 7" is the perfect art installation as a limited run in a rough part of town. It's lean & mean and coughs chunks in all the right places. A hipster morning hack for the art-school burnouts and post 90's sleazeballs (and their petulant offspring) Y'know man...like Pollock only more desperate *cough*
Lazy & it's sister band Dated are certainly the coolest kids in Kansas City. The music is filled with fantastic ~fuck you~ spirit and a surplus of cool. How cool is Lazy?
Fucking cool.
I once joked (possibly on Instagram?) that even their cigarettes smoked cigarettes. Maybe that wasn't the joke exactly but the sentiment remains. Lazy are oozing the kind of post-apocalyptic hipness that make punk rock legends at a time where even the mention of the phrase punk rock espouses suspicion and here's the clincher-the music is great. It's rough in all the right places and smells like the inside of a 1989 Mustang with a week-old, coconut air freshener tied around the rear view. It's just good, goddamn rock & roll. It's the exact right amount of Verlaine's Television & Hanna's Bikini Kill with just a dash of Television Personalities "And don't the kids just love it" and Wire's "Pink Flag" thrown in for good measure.
They're the best in Kansas City and ready for greater things.
Blue jean commercials or New York City-or both.
