Song of the Day + mini SXSW review: Lucius – Don’t Just Sit There

Lucius

According to Google the word ‘dulcet’ is often used ironically. I was going to start off this song of the day by saying that if you want to understand the meaning of the phrase ‘dulcet tones’ you should listen to Lucius frontwomen Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, but now that Google has hit me with some knowledge I’m not sure that’s what I actually want to say. Regardless, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Brooklyn based fivesome Lucius sound lovely on “Don’t Just Sit There.” Give it a listen – they’re currently on tour, here are some tour dates:

4/25: Buffalo, NY @ University of Buffalo
4/26: Toronto, ON @ The Garrison
4/27: Detroit, MI @ Garden Bowl
4/30: Milwaukee, WI @ Pabst Theater Pub
5/1: Springfield, IL @ The Radon Lounge
5/2: Chicago, IL @ Schubas
6/1: Nelsonville, OH @ Nelsonville Music Festival (what? where?)

Ricky’s note
The picture above took place in Austin. Lucius played a set at a free taco breakfast at SXSW at the Moody Theatre. Despite the fact that 99.9% of the people (including us) were there for free breakfast tacos, Lucius still managed to capture the attention of some of the crowd with what I can only say is talented harmonies. They even had the balls to try to sing a capella for their last track, which kinda worked out well for the thirty people who can hear them over the chit chat. A pleasant way to start off the day.
