In the clubs of Chicago, back in the fifties, you could hear some of the greatest bluesmen of all time: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson and Jimmy Reed — to name but a few. Meanwhile, around the corner, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley were inventing rock & roll.
Fifty years later, at the other end of the world, four New Zealand musicians formed a band inspired by that urban blues sound. They called themselves the Lazy Boys.
Playing a mixture of original songs and vintage covers — from little-known gems to undisputed classics — the Lazy Boys feature Big John Segovia on guitar and vocals, the Rev on harmonica, Simon Kearns on bass, and Rex McLeod on drums.
