  • Bio

    Old House Playground is a two piece band based in Manchester UK. Their first album "The whore and the dog" although never officially released led to gigs in Manchester, London, Ireland, Greece, Germany and Switzerland. The strength and originality of the songs got the album airplay on radio in the UK, Ireland, Greece, Germany and even Romania. The ground is prepared for the first official release. Old House Playground have just finished recording their new album to be released in May / June of this year (2012). The style is communicative, a unique understanding of rock, swing, blues, avant-garde and folk. Rare sounds that invite the listener to share a different path.

     Hello there!

    I hope life’s treating You fine…

    I just uploaded ‘ID part 3; DARK MAZE OF THE LIBIDO’! It’s not exactly Schubert but it’s PERFECT for playing video games under influence. Anything that affects the central nervous system should do… except anti-psychotics. If You are currently on these, You might consider skipping one. What’s the worst thing that could happen? The end of mankind? Well… that’s exactly the worst thing that could happen. So, do evaluate Your level of access to weapons of mass destruction beforehand and proceed accordingly, PLEASE.

    I hope You’ll enjoy the piece. Your comments are, as always, welcome and much appreciated…

    I wish You all the best!

    Peace and love,
    Basil.

    P.S. Under the circumstances I would like to humbly dedicate my composition to the people of Cyprus who are being blatantly robbed by domestic and international gangsters.

    Heyyyyyy!!!

    Whatup??? I hope it’s all mighty wicked (or freaking awesome).

    So, here’s the big news:
    I just uploaded ‘ID part 2; IN THE AFTERLIFE?’, a piece of music unlike anything You’ve ever heard before!!!

    Now, I must confess that, if I was reading this, I’d feel less than irresistibly tempted. The pursuit of novelty in music most often leads to such things as superchromatic mental wanking, plain rap or the ever-popular chewing-snoring-farting combo. But, as You already know, I don’t play any of these games. Instead, every single note has been carefully chosen by Yours Truly through a lengthy procedure known as Composing. Yours Truly makes history for real  

    So, I’d really like for You to take a listen, enjoy and let me know what You think.

    Have a fantastic new year, inherit a fortune from an obnoxious relative and spend it naughtily!

    Peace and love,
    Basil.

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SPEAKING OUT ...

    "First they came for the COMMUNISTS, and

    I did not SPEAK OUT --  because I was NOT A COMMUNIST;

    Then they came for the SOCIALISTS, and

    I did not SPEAK OUT -  because I was NOT A SOCIALIST;

    Then they came for the TRADE UNIONISTS, and

     I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A TRADE UNIONIST

    Then they came for the JEWS, and

     I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A JEW;

    Then they CAME FOR ME - and

    there was NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK OUT FOR ME."

    ~ Pastor Martin Niemoller - A prisoner at the Dachau

    STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT!  DON'T EVER LET

    THE VOICE OF FREEDOM BE SILENCED!

how the story goes...

A booze and smoke filled stumble through love and loss taking in rock, blues, folk and swing. .

Old House Playground are a two piece band based in Manchester UK. Their trail of gigs leads a winding path across Europe taking in Manchester, London, Ireland, Greece, Germany and Switzerland with airplay in the UK, Ireland, Greece, Germany, Switzerland and even Romania. Rooted deep in the folk culture of story telling and drawing characters, their album God Damn That Gold has just been released through The Evening Economies and Fat Bob Records. God Damn That Gold was recorded live in 5 days to analogue tape by label mate Chris Evans, with local radio stations already reffered to it as "Absolute Greatness".

The band is about to release three videos in the next three to four months and a single they recorded together with Vini Reilly, a man whom former Red Hot Chilli Peppers' John Frusciante stated as "The best guitarist in the world".

To contact the band please email info@oldhouseplayground.com

"Tryfon Lazos is an extremely talented singer who writes far better songs in his second language than most people could ever hope to write in their native tongue. He and percussionist Andreas Venetantes, have traveled through Europe like Medieval troubadours, and as if in punishment for their sins, have ended up here... "In this land, the sun never shows" ". http://www.mancky.co.uk/?p=8175

"Lazos has an impressive voice and his guitar work is fine, clean and very much of the idiom. The music is inherently sexy with a steamy southern states sound." http://bobonscr.com/2012/06/22/irwell-valley-delta-blues/
