Its Official - Lazy J to headline THE BASELINE Friday 28th October



Lazy J are a four piece band from the West Midlands, England. Their music is a fusion of funk, blues and rock which draws influence from a diverse range of artists such as George Clinton, Led Zeppelin, Jane's Addiction, James Brown, and Reef.
Kerrang FM have played an active part in creating a surge of interest in Lazy J by giving their songs regular airplay and broadcasting interviews with the foursome, as well as voting them 'Unsigned band of the year'.
In summer 2006, tracks from the band's EP Inner City Funktion received critical acclaim from Steve Craddock of Ocean Colour Scene, while 2008 saw the release of the band's first full length studio album, entitled Kick The Spin. After 2 years in the making, the band released their second album Dysfunctional in 2011.
Outside the studio Lazy J are constantly gigging, having played headline sets at Camden Underworld, Birmingham Academy, The Yardbird (Birmingham), JB's Dudley and having also performed at Sound Leicester Square, Carlsberg Unsigned Festival, Storm Leicester Square and The Garage (London).

P.A. HIRE

We have had so many instances of bands wishing to hire P.A.'s from us that we now have a dedicated hire system, packaged and ready to go at a moment,s notice. Our popular system which is regularl;y used at such venues as "The Old Foundry" and "The Lamp Tavern" consists of:

Carlsbro pmx 8-2 XP 600w Powered Mixer

2 x 500w P.A. Speakers

3 x dynamic Microphones

3 x Boom Mic stands

2 x Speaker tripods

all signal and power leads

all for £40 per night

ROOM 3 - an update

All our rooms can cater for keyboards without the need to clutter the vocal P.A. systems. The two largest rooms have their own dedicated P.A. for keyboards and accoustic instruments whilst the two smaller rooms have separate bass amps for this purpose. Pictured below is our dedicated keyboard workstation in room 3 with the studio's own KORG cxT3 keyboard.



Room 3 also has two LANEY 100 watt amp heads with 4 x 12 Torque and Marshall Speaker cabs. Added to the Ludwig drumkit, Fender Rumble Bass combo, vintage H&H V-S Musician 100watt lead combo and H&H Performer 707S P.A. with Carlsbro 300 watt heads and Laney Sub woofers, this is an ideal location for any band. All instrument amps are now fitted with heavy duty castors making it easy to reconfigure the room to your requirements.
