Lazarus Kane shares new single Night Walking

Praise for Lazarus Kane and "Narcissus":

"the American Dream is alive." - Loud & Quiet
“seedy, cocksure and a damn right infectious hit.” - So Young
"we would be lying if we said we weren’t 100% into it." - DIY
"a bona fide finger-snapper right from the off." - The Line Of Best Fit
"a shifting quicksand of funk oddysseys." - In Stereo

Who and what is a Lazarus Kane?

A musician, a philanthropist, a successful American businessman recently relocated to the West Country certainly, but could this man - because that much he surely is, a man - also be a genius?

Following a debut single recorded with Dan Carey for Speedy Wunderground - listen to "Narcissus" HERE - and a string of patriotic live performances alongside the likes of Squid, Warmduscher, Working Men's Club and more, Lazarus Kane returns with his much-anticipated second single, "Night Walking", an anthemic paean to the night.

WATCH "NIGHT WALKING" HERE

His latest single will be released on a limited edition white 7" (pre-order HERE) with an exclusive B-side and, succumbing to pressure from a fervent army of collectors, will also include a signed photo of Lazarus Kane himself.

"Night Walking" was originally written as a Bond theme for ‘Live And Let Die’ back in 1973, however it lost out to Paul McCartney and Wings, whose ingenious use of the surprise reggae section was the cherry on top for Sir Roger Moore. Although 47 years has passed, Kane has not let go of ‘Night Walking’ stating ‘I think I actually wrote this for Saturday Night Fever, but I ended up sending it to the wrong studio. My bad’. Now, with the wonders of modern technology, the song has been re-recorded and updated with the latest specs.

Strap in people, it’s about to get weird.

Official Biography

PART I

Early Life

Lazarus was born in Sheepsclaw, Arizona. The exact date is unknown, therefore making his age impossible to verify. Due to his strict skincare regime, ascertaining his age via simply looking at his physical presence is also difficult. Fans have said he looks good for his age, but also bad for his age. He was raised in the strict Rhythm Church of Latter Day Percussionists, which placed a high regard on being able to praise God with not only straight beats, but also incorporating syncopation as children grew into adults. After falling from grace within the church, much of the information on his early life was lost with a collection of MiniDiscs believed to now be buried outside Phoenix.

PART II

Early Career - ‘Drifting Years’ 

Much of Lazarus’ career has been collected from hearsay and oral recollections. Drifting round the USA in his early twenties, he mainly played in bars and small clubs, using a small drum machine and a stylophone. He was however robbed in New York in the early 60’s and lost these instruments. It is widely rumoured that the robbery was carried out by Alan Vega and Martin Rev.

Reports indicate he was then working as a tram conductor in San Francisco for a period, whilst running the biggest LSD racket on the West Coast, disguising tabs of LSD as tram tickets. Other reports suggest he was nearly drafted into replace Brian Jones at this point with the Rolling Stones, however sources indicate that he had a dental appointment on the day he was meant to audition, and therefore the plan fell through.

Throughout the 1980’s, Lazarus was spotted, and arrested, numerous times with his friend Axl Rose. The two are thought to have had a close relationship at the time, but have since fallen out of touch. Around this time, there are records showing Kane worked as an associate producer for many Sylvester Stallone blockbusters, providing quality catering at very affordable prices. He is also reported to have been a touring multi-instrumentalist with Rusted Root during the early 1990’s and provided catering for the ’Send Me On My Way’ recording sessions. Until recently, this was the last reported activity of Kane within the professional music industry.

PART III

Return To The Music Industry - ‘A Phoenix From The Ashes and/or The Resurrection Of Lazarus'

Kane returned in 2019 with ‘Narcissus’, produced with Dan Carey and released through Speedy Wunderground. The single was met with widespread critical and commercial acclaim, selling out its physical release within a record negative 48 hours, making it the first record to sell out in history before recording of the song had even begun. He has toured numerous times with an ever revolving cast of musicians of worldwide repute, including Jonny Cigarinni, Bruce Mango, Big Sweetie, Jane Lettuicé, Phil Holsten, Trigger, Riot Shield and Clint Belaggio. Analytics show he is particularly popular with the male 40-70 demographic in the north on England, many of whom say he is, with his unique wardrobe and disregard for contemporary musical trends, the heir apparent to Mark E Smith. 2020 will see the release of his eagerly awaited second single ‘Night Walking’. Get the fuck ready, or fuck off.
