    • June 2011 update

    The big news is we be heading to my homeland, finally. The Great Big Sea guys have been mighty kind to us and have graciously invited Lazybones to perform with them and Elliot Brood at the George Street Festival this year which enables us to bring the full band to St. John's for the first time. The weekend will be busy, after GBS finishes their set on George Street we will be take refuge in a bar somewhere nearby with our friends The Monday Nights and finish out the night with some more music. The following night we will play at set at the Ship opening for Mark Bragg and Saturday looks like it will turn into a house party somewhere in the city with Damhnait Doyle's new band The Heartborken (let us know if you'd like it to be your house, seriously).

    So here we are, February 2011 and this little grassroots Lazybones project keeps growing and growing. The Sleepy Tune video has been popping up on more and more TV screens; CMT, Bravo, MuchMusic and MuchMore have all been spinning so I guess we'll have to start playing this one live. Speaking of live, we will be playing a gig in Brampton this month, a couple of Canadian Music Week appearances in Toronto are on the horizon for March and also a trip to Niagara Falls in April for a cool charity event; we will post all the details on the facebook group.

    Live and Die was used in the credits of the movie "Sheltered Life" that has been airing on the Super Channel since the beginning of Jan. and Perfect Life is going to be used in an upcoming episode of "Republic of Doyle" (episode 6). We have been busy bees in the studio working on new tunes, we have recorded 5 new ones and we are not sure if we'll release them as singles or cut a few more and make a new album, but in the mean time our patience has gotten the best of us so we are going to release one of them as a Valentines Day single. It's called "Your Devil" and our pal Jill Barber has once again made one of our songs better with her lovely voice-Thanks Jill! The artwork for the single is a painting by an amazing artist by the name of Melissa Frew, you can check out her work here: www.Melissafrew.com.

    We've decided to release "Your Devil" along with a flash mob style video that you can read about in the blog section, it started out as a simple idea to spread some love that turned into a threat of handcuffs (and not the furry kind).

    As always, thanks for listening.
