about

Serene Dominic presents…The Lazyfaires!

Perhaps the least motivated of any second-tier British invasion groups, The Lazyfaires failed to click with the US at a time when merely having a Manchester relative should have been enough to unseat an American idol on the pop charts.

Much was made of the fact that The Rolling Stones’ debut UK album made no mention of the group’s name on its front cover but The Lazyfaires broke even further ground in anonymity when their debut album featured only an empty spotlight on its sleeve as none of the group had bothered to turn up for the photo session.

None of their hard-to-find US releases on Fontana, Vocalion, Congress or Lucky Pup made much of an impression either but that didn’t deter The Lazyfaires from staying together and releasing single after unacclaimed single well into the next millennium, more out of habit than anything else.

So they remain The Lazyfaires, five lads who love nothing more than staying in their sitting rooms and watching Formula I racing on the telly. “The Lights Go Down and Out,” a blistering 1968 ode to pretending you’re out for a night on the town in order to not appear like complete losers to the burglars, is in keeping with that well-established Lazyfaires tradition.
