Once Upon A Time....

Once upon a timec

In 1970, the legendary music festival in the 60's hippie culture era, "Wood Stock Art & Music Festival", brought "big wave" to young generation in Japan.

A little schoolboy at local town in Osaka felt the heats, too.

Few months later, he handed one record, g Neil Young with Crazy Horse / Everybody knows this is nowhereh.

He felt his brain shook as he listened to the music that he had never experienced.

And the name of this band, gCrazy Horseh remains in his soul since that day.



" When I grew up, gotta have an electric guitar, sure I do..., when I got grown up!"



In his school days, his parents often told him, "What's a lazy boy!"

Then, he decided to name his band "LAZY HORSE", when he really gotta have a band.



In 1980s, he was playing the acoustic guitar and harmonica, and singing alone.

Then he loved Neil Young and Bob Marleyfs songs.

Sometimes he was singing with his friendfs band, but he didnft have his own band and hefs always singing alone.

And he found an ordinary job.



In 1995, a fine Spring day, his friends told him.

gYoufll sing with my band at my Wedding Party.h

When he sang at the hall, he made a little fire in his soul.

He sang again.



One day, he met a drummer, Ichiro gChGator, and a guitarist, Jamie Onishi.

At last, he started his band-LAZY HORSE in 1999.

In October 1999, the band played loud towards Osaka Bay in front of the huge audience in Annual Harley Davidson Jamboree in Osaka.



After a while, some troubles were happened to them...

'Cause their sounds are too loud to play in little halls.

Then, they started playing acoustic tune and a female singer, Ululu Yayoi joined.



In 2001, Jamie introduced him a Bass player, gThe FUNK Masterh Yoshino.

Yoshino brought more groove and power to the band, more powerful than ever.

A female singer, Muu Tomomi also joined the band, accordingly.

He named these ladies, "the Saddle Bags", as a chorus group.



And now, the band, "LAZY HORSE with the Saddle Bags" hit the road for playing, singing, drinking, and rolling.

The members will keep walk on, riding on the LAZY HORSE.
