Check out our new single
We've gone back to our blues roots with our haunting new single 'Lost", it is musically and lyrically raw, a traditional blues ballad.
Adrian wrote ‘Lost’ at a sad time in his life. It’s a heartfelt song that anyone can listen to and relate to their own sorrow. The song wrote itself, the lyrics and the music came naturally.
Adrian grew up with this style of blues music, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter and Roy Buchanan, are all a big influence.
Since recording the song we've lost close friends, so the song feels more poignant than ever. At the moment we cry every time we play it, but I guess that’s the blues.
We usually play stonking blues rock, this is the first time we’ve released an acoustic blues number.
Lazy Fifty, bringing you modern blues, with a kiwi feel.
Our original Kiwi rock music is influenced by British Blues Rock, stoner rock and the classic rock of the 70s. New music in the style you’ve loved forever.
"they play solid seventies-style melodic hard rock ... while at other times they are channelling Sabbath, or George Thorogood"
2021: A LAZY ODYSSEY album review - Gonzo Magazine UK
“I was immediately taken back into the early Seventies when dirty blues rock was king. There is something special about the blues being played at volume in a hard rock arrangement, and Adrian was shredding like a madman. This is one heck of a live band.”
Live review Kev Rowland, music.net.nz November 2023
The name Lazy Fifty comes from the saying of an old friend. When he asked you for a ‘lazy twenty’ (dollars), you knew you’d never see the money again.
That was a long time ago and our friend is no longer with us. In memory of him, and allowing for inflation, we are ‘Lazy Fifty’.
