Haborlite Music: The Lazarenkos

The Lazarenkos

The Lazarenkos have been part of the Scottish pop/rock scene for some time always attracting a regular following wherever they perform, converting new fans with their energetic and melodic sound. Its members have played under various guises and with other bands in the past.   The band had originally been called Powderfinger, but due to an Australian rock band adopting the same name they decided on changing the name to The Lazarenkos.

Recent performances include appearances alongside Robbie McIntosh, chart-topping star Gordon Haskell, Americana band Nadine, Thea Gilmore and American singer/songwriter Tom Russell. The Lazarenkos helped to persuade Gordon Haskell and Robbie McIntosh to perform a one-off gig in Greenock.

 

The band have also provided the musical entertainment on comedy nights featuring T.V. comedians such as Phil Jupitus and Fred MacAuley, where they were noted in the Glasgow Herald as providing music in an "authentic country-rockaboogie vein".

 

The bands original songs are influenced by artists such as Woody Guthrie, Neil Young, Steve Earle and 60's band The Byrds.

 

If you fall for strong lyrics, sweet vocal harmonies and energetic toe-tapping tunes you will not be disappointed with The Lazarenkos
