TPA Gig Review - Lazuli

The Fleece, Bristol - 27th November 2016

Lazuli are clearly – and rightly – grateful for the support that they have had from the Prog community in the U.K. since their debut show dazzled the opening night of the Summer’s End festival in 2011, but it seems that being linked to the Prog branding is doing the band a disservice. A support slot on a big (non-prog) tour or TV exposure (if such a thing realistically exists these days outside of the product placement brigade) would benefit them hugely. Lazuli need exposure, they could play to just about any audience and impress, they just need to be allowed the opportunity to do just that.

If I never see them at such close quarters again I’ll be totally gutted, but if that means that they get the success they deserve then I’d be happy beyond words. Lazuli are the band by which others should be measured.
