Twenty years, three brothers, one cartoon. Told from memory, by the people who were there.
If you landed here, you probably know the songs already, so we won't try to sell you anything.
The press kit has the polished version of our story. This is the other one: the rehearsal rooms, the vans, the nights that went wrong, told the way we remember them.
Come in.
The voice of Lazywall, and the one who plays the basshouj: three bass strings and three guembri strings in a single instrument.
The guitaroud, half guitar and half oud. He left just before the first gig in 2003, and came back in 2013, ten years later.
An instrument he made himself: classic drums mixed with Moroccan percussion, with the darbuka and the bendir added to his set. In March 2003 he put up the ad in Reading that started Lazywall.
Twenty years of gigs, studios, mistakes and miracles, in order. The series tells it as a story, this one as a record.
