Lazy Habits
Music Act, Music, Sunday, Lakeside Stage
Having toured with the likes of Mos Def and Bonobo and performed at Glastonbury and Bestival, to name but a few, Lazy habits offer up brass-fueled soulful hip-hop stories.
“The best house party your parents never wanted you to have.”
“One of the most exciting acts to come out of London in some time.”
The London seven-piece describe their sound as “beats, rhymes and brass of the highest calibre”, and it’s easy to hear that confidence ooze from the pores of their self-titled debut album. Their onstage energy is contagious and will stay with you long after they’ve left the stage, and it’s this bombastic energy that has seen their music championed by UK tastemakers such as Huw Stephens, Joss Stone, Ghostpoet and a host of BBC Radio DJs.
It’s hip hop, Jim; But not as we know it…
“They nod to big band jazz, soul and bop while MC Lazy spits classic UK hip-hop patterns dripping with clever rhymes...lyrically, they’re edgy and relevant.”
Soley Mourning
Music Act, Sunday, Lakeside Stage“Mat Partridge’s soulful voice, coupled with a funk infused rhythm section, makes for an eclectic record where melody always rules.”
Powerful and melodic, Soley Mourning have that quintessential late-80s/early-90s American alt/grunge vibe, yet hail from the UK’s Black Country!
These guys have riffs coming out of their ears, and they pull sounds from the likes of Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine as well as Led Zeppelin.
This is a classic rock five-piece destined for greatness.
“Zeppelin-esque intros and heavy bluesy riffs accompanied by melodic vocals.”
