‘A journey into the heady personalities of Almost Lazy..’
‘Almost Lazy is more than a sound, its a way of life’
‘Grubby’ (Grimey Dubs) 2013
Its been said that Almost Lazy’ fills the air with Dusty Breaks, Inhumane Bass, Irie Key’s, Rewound Riff’s & Rasta’s lyrics.. Its also been known as a stalwart of Reggae in Australia..
Either way there is a story to the sound.
Environmental activist, veteran permaculturalist & father, the inspiration to engage sound has been born but never grew up. Its the complexity of these perspectives that gives Almost Lazy its sound, powerful, historical & blended to send each message.
Almost Lazy is more than a sound, its a way of life, for all…
What started off as reggae/dub interpretations, Lazy’s sound has a unique take on culture, all moodswung & heavy bass. Running MPC’s & some analog tones their shows are known for supporting international acts & a hard act to follow.
With such a vast range of influences & the individuality to bring life experiences to music, Lazy believes that this sound is unanimously odd.
Dub, Reggae, Steppers, Dancehall to Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Glitch Hop & Swing Hop & doses of Jungle are capable of being the driving force of any Lazy tune…
somehow they all have one thing in common…
A Lazy Break..
The sets can flow for hours, with an evolving swung simplicity, twisting in & out of time, up & down in tempo, both on & off the couch, ..
From Solo & MC shows to 6 piece band there is never a time to see them sound the same. An all live MPC sequence keeps the mood of the audience motivating the directions his sets deliver as his crowd participation is second to none.
From daytime Roots, Dubwise & Downbeat vibrations to the well rehearsed heavyweight hitters for his beefier selections & alter ego’s that make Almost Lazy a split personality that is yet to be defined..
Join Almost Lazy in the search for the perfect crowd & the perfect Greenroom @ a venue near you…
