Lucky Boys Confusion On Indefinite Hiatus

September 21, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Lucky Boys Confusion has announced an indefinite hiatus. You can read the bands message below.

Hey gang, we’ve decided its time to address all the rumors going around concerning the band right now. As you’ve no doubt noticed, we haven’t announced our fall tour dates yet. The reason being is that the band, after 9 years playing together, is going on an indefinite hiatus. We basically burned ourselves out after our 9 week tour this summer and most of us are looking forward to being home for awhile and having some sense of normality. I wish we could give you guys more info, but lots of things are up in the air right now. Basically, the upcoming three shows in Iowa and Minnesota might be our last for quite a long time. We are still definitely locked in for Songs From A Scene in Chicago in late December, so if you can’t make it out next weekend there will still be a couple chances to catch us. Our fans are seriously some of the most rabid, loyal, hard partying kids and I hope you know how much we’ve appreciated you all over this past decade of rock n roll. More to come when we know more.

Lucky Boys Confusion – How to Get out Alive

Artist: Lucky Boys Confusion
Album: How to Get out Alive
Label: Townstyle
Purchase:
Release Date: June 13, 2006

Overall: 8.2
Music: 7.5
Lyrics: 8.0
Production: 9.0

Chicagoans Lucky Boys Confusion have chosen the standard rock route with their latest release, a five-song EP called How to Get out Alive. The boys made a name for themselves, landing a major record deal to put out their second full-length, Commitment. Despite how committed the guys were, they proved a bit unlucky when Atlantic bought out Warner and bid the boys farewell. So they started from the bottom again, turning out this EP on their own label. Considering this fact, production is astounding. “Cigarettes” has the catchy riffs (including some synth) and cute lyrics that make a great pop song, but has more complexities than “Hey Driver”, the band’s closest thing to a big hit from their last album. Overall, however, its disappointing to see that the band has shed one of its most recognizable traits on this album: their ska influences. Though often making their way only into songs subtly such as the “hey hey hey” chants on “Hey Driver”, the Lucky Boys sound has always incorporated some ska. Hopefully the guys bring back the twotone upbeats on their full-length due out sometime next year.

Tracklisting:
1. The Struggle (Getting out Alive)
2. Cigarettes
3. When Bad News Gets Worse
4. Like Rats From A Sinking Ship
5. Anything, Anything
