From the deep recesses of Chicago's suburbs
Hailing from the deep recesses of Chicago’s suburbs, how could Lucky
Boys Confusion be anything but what they are: a scrappy, kinetic, precocious
fivesome whose divergent influences of punk, hip hop, and reggae, provide
the propulsion for one wild ride, both live and on record. Their Elektra
debut, Throwing The Game, produced by Howard Benson (P.O.D., Less Than Jake,
Zebrahead) and mixed by Randy Staub (Metallica, U2, Veruca Salt.) is filled
with memorable bursts of careening punk-hop – “3 To 10/CB’s
Caddy Part III and “Child’s Play” – and reggae-tinged
gems – “City Lights” and “Not About Debra,” as
well as more pristine rockers like “Breaking Rules” , “One
to the Right” and “Fred Astaire.” As tight as a quintet as
you’re likely to find these days, the energetic bandmembers fuel each
other - rhythmically colliding, forever changing speeds - often in the same
song. The band is comprised of: Kaustubh Pandav: vocals, Adam Krier: guitar,
vocals, piano, keyboards, noisemakers, Joe Sell: guitar, Jason Schultejann:
bass, and Ryan Fergus: drums |
