The Lackadaisies

The seeds for The Lackadaisies were first sown in the year 2000 AD, in an old gymnasium in the small town of Haughton, Louisiana. Thirteen year-old singer/songwriter, Josh Hollis, and fifteen year-old drummer Jeremy Gibson began crafting songs. Influenced by 60's rock & roll, southern gospel, and swampy Louisiana blues, they honed in on their sound with confidence and faith in the music that was to grow. Josh and Jeremy soon began playing music with two more future Lackadaisies, Logan Hall and Mus Gillum. The four would practice often until Josh moved to Baton Rouge in 2005. When Josh moved back to the Shreveport area in 2009 he reunited with Jeremy, Logan, and Mus, marking the official beginning of The Lackadaisies. In the pursuit of making a demo, they joined forces with Michael Stephens (of The Peekers), who agreed to help them record. Their working relationship progressed quickly, and Michael officially joined the band. The Lackadaisies released their first self-titled EP on April 10, 2010. Since then, they have held their own on stage, performing with acts such as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Dawes, Floating Action, Heartless Bastards, and countless others. They will release their first full-length record, "Act Your Age," in 2013. Please come support us October 3 at Voodoo Cafe.
