Lazystars

Genre: Indie rock
Web site: http://www.myspace.com/thelazystarspage

Though The Lazystars are new to the Vegas scene, their pedigree hardly speaks of inexperience. Dave Hawkins and his cousin, bassist Tony Divencenzo, anchored local outfit Psychic Radio during its three-year run; guitarist Dave Meeks was a longtime member of veteran Vegas band Big Bad Zero; and Brian Havens served, briefly, as the drummer for The Killers (yeah, those Killers). The four men came together when Hawkins recently reconnected with his muse. “Inspiration comes and goes, and after grinding it out for so long [with Psychic Radio], it disappeared,” he says. “Then it just happened again. It was just time.”
