Lucky Boys ConfusionFast FactsLocation: BioChicago's biggest breakout band, Lucky Boys Confusion, recently signed with Elektra Entertainment, the home of Metallica, Third Eye Blind, and Busta Rhymes. A ferocious live band and the biggest up and coming story in Chicago in recent years, LBC has played shows with acts like The Urge, 2 Skinnee Js, The Pietasters, Mest and does brisk business in Chicago and surrounding Midwest markets. Lucky Boys Confusion released their first album, Growing Out Of It, on their own Townstyle label in early 1999 and began to build a loyal live following playing frequent suburban parties, YMCA gigs, and later moving on to a series of shows at Chicago's Metro. A year later - January 2000- after building a rabid young fan base and coming into their own as an electric live band, Chicago's Alternative Rock station, Q101, added LBC's "Dumb Pop Song" into heavy rotation. A major label chase commenced, and after a string of 5 sold out shows in 5 months - 3 shows at the venerable Metro and 2 at House of Blues) - Lucky Boys Confusion signed with Elektra. Their two indie records, Growing Out Of It and the follow up, The Soapbox Spectacle, have each sold over 4,000 copies locally to date. LBC headed to California last fall to record a new album
with producer Howard Benson (P.O.D., Zebrahead, Less Than Jake) and
engineer John Goodmanson (Harvey Danger, Sleater Kinney) for release
in March/April. Meanwhile, the LBC Street Team has grown to over 650
reps, with over 100 located outside of the home market of Chicago. The
band's website www.luckyboysmusic.com has several MP3s for download,
as well as the video for "Dumb Pop Song" and much more info
on the band. |
