Lazu Lie debuts amidst cheering (and moaning)!/The Doors/Leahy and Randy

Dudes and gals, a few points of interest....

Our new "other" band, Lazu Lie, played at the Safari Jamboree last night (Saturday, August 14th),
and it was fun. We were supposed to play on this cool outdoor stage made on a hay bail trailor and decorated with bloody knives, wrenches, saws, and cleavers (plastic we think)...BUT...then it rained about a minute before the Axxxidentals finished their set. So we went inside and played in the basement area. It was hot, sweaty, filled with mosquitos that bit us all night... but the music flowed like the jager-bombs that were flowing down the throats of the audience. A girl sang backups for a few songs unexpectedly. She basically just hit one bending pitch that sounded like a drunken ghost having an orgasm. One way or another, she was into our shit bigtime. ;)
We played some covers including the guard! classique, "(Lemme Take Ya To A) Dirty Place" featuring Jason Crezel on guest vocals. Also, Lazu Lie cracked into an old chesnut... The Approachables song "Big Night Out"...people sang along. Other tracks included new originals from Lazu Lie, "Abstract Girls", "I Don't Want To Know Anything About That", "A Song Is A Spell", "Madrid", plus Childebeast's "Actual Eagles", Nervous Wrecked's's "Circles", and Livestalk's "Porvoise"...

On Friday we checked out The Doors in Chatham, and that was fucking awesome...gotta say! Wasn't sure what to expect, but the concert was so good. Helps that they got a guy who basically channelled Jim, and wasn't super pretentious about it. He had the voice, the moves, the attitude, and most of all, obviously loves The Doors music. Better than the guys we thought might be filling the role that night. And the audience was filled with super-psyched Doors fans...There were a few times we had to do a reality check as it was pretty unbelievable to hear songs like "L.A.Woman", "Moonlight Drive", "Not To Touch The Earth", played with utter conviction. Damn! Note to Doors: put out another album...why not????

On Saturday afternoon before the Lazu Lie show Matthew Davey and G.J. Stabbz played an acoustic show downtown Waterloo at the TABU fest. And we met Leahy and Randy from Trailer Park Boys. That was fun. Leahy made fun of G.J., calling her Anorexia, Bulimia, then Chlamydia...classic. And he sang a duet with Matt's daughter...creepy and cute! That gig went well too I thought. Not the upbeat rock that was being played before and after it, that's for sure...

SAFARI JAMBOREE AUGUST 14th in Safari Country, Ontario

Show starts promptly at 9, 10, or 11pm!

By Invite ONLY...

yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

So Young Coconut and GJ Stabbz are playing a show, but not exactly as Childebeast.
The as-yet-unnamed-super-duper-group featuring the members of Childebeast
and Nervous Wrecked will be playing at the fabled "Safari Jamboree" out in the
wilds of Branchton area outside Cambridge. Details are sketchy at best, and only
the elite (or is it the dregs of humankind?? maybe just C.H.U.D.s will be there...) will be in attendance. The band are debuting their crazy sound on August 14th. Keep your eye
on the black market for a bootleg!

Sous Le Maison album cover preview

Sous Le Maison and other updates

July 25, 2010

Well, well, well... Our new album is now "out"... and what does that mean in this wild
and crazy modern age? It means, you, yeah *you*, can get yourself a copy of "sous le maison"
in actual hard copy form.. you just need to know where to get it. As of now, we, the band,
have 4 copies for sale at $10 each, and Encore Records has one in their local artists section.
It will also be available on our Bandcamp site shortly (www.childebeast.bandcamp.com),
in digital form for $5.

Shows are starting to creep up again. We are currently planning our CD release party, which will happen early Fall at a venue yet to be determined. Ah, the summer doth go by so quickly! We're busking a lot, so if you have sharp eyes, you can catch us at some of our favourite busking locations, namely: St. Jacobs (the town), downtown Waterloo, and downtown Kitchener... we'll probably be at the Bluesfest August 6,7,8 in some shady alcove pretending that we're bluesy. We successfully busked at Beiberfest (AKA 91.5 Beat Rocks the Block) this past weekend without anyone's permission. And guess what? Tweens like us! YESSS!

We could be playing at the Safari Jamboree (pending whether we're going to see The Doors in Chatham in mid-August), but its a private party - so you're not invited to that. However... if you contact us *NOW* we'd be willing to take with us two lucky fans. Yes, you'll get to hang out with us *all night*...think of how fun that sounds!

In other news, Young Coconut has just finished another solo album, which is available for *free* at his Bandcamp site (www.youngcoconut.bandcamp.com), and its called: "Sex, Drugs, Rock'N'Roll & Hobbits". YC: "the music is exactly what you'd expect from the title".

That's all for now! Go relax, and take a bath...
