Whether you are in the mood for coffee shop friendly music or electro-pop, Andrew Cotney and Troy Luedeker are two guys you will want to know. The duo perform in two bands that couldn't be more opposite of one another: the radio friendly Make Yourself Comfortable and the not so sure Lubbock is quite ready for this, The Lesbian Breakfast. Make Yourself Comfortable has a third member, drummer Landon Cotham and The Lesbian Breakfast also has third member and his name is iPod. He provides the drum beats.
Andrew and Troy met back in February when they were introduced by mutual friends and began collaborating soon after. While other spring breakers were busy at the beach trying to obtain that perfect tan, Andrew sat alone in Lubbock and recorded 10 songs in his home studio. Once Troy returned, the two began working on what Andrew recorded. One song in particular was a song Andrew's father wrote for his daughter's wedding about how her love had touched him. The song quickly turned into something a little questionable, but yet downright hilarious. One can even say that The Lesbian Breakfast is a family affair, as Andrew's Mother got in on the action too. Using her "Mom" skills, she monogrammed "The Lesbian Breakfast" on the definitive garment worn at every LB show, their signature sweatbands. The LB also throws out free sweatbands to party-goers, a must have for any Lesbian Breakfast fan.
With a name like The Lesbian Breakfast, it's easy to see why Lubbock may not be ready for this duo. The LB's signature song, "Is That a Banana In Your Locket?" was essentially written because of a promo at a gift shop where Troy's Mom worked. The promo went like this: spend x amount of money and receive a free heart locket. When a customer inquired about said locket, an elderly patron exclaimed, "I've got a heart on right now!" If you read that last sentence and don't see the humor in it, then be sure to check out the song on their Myspace page to fully understand! The LB performs mostly at house parties, but have performed at Whiskey Dix, The Bright House, Tequila Jungle and TheThirsty Turtle. The first LB show took place in Andrew's living room where he fashioned his bed into a stage and spent $20 at Sam's on a pool and spa light show to create the perfect ambiance in his living room. To date, this is the best $20 they ever spent.
Don't worry if you don't feel like The Lesbian Breakfast is for you. Make Yourself Comfortable may be more your speed. Adding drummer Landon Cotham to the mix, Andrew, Troy and Landon perform their blend of Rock n' Roll music. Andrew and Troy also perform acoustic shows with just a keyboard and a guitar. Make Yourself Comfortable will be performing at The Bright House on Sunday October, 26 with Buxton, a touring band out of Houston and local band Your Axis on a Tilt. Admission for the show is only $1 which is a price you definitely won't find anywhere else in Lubbock. So there you have it, you literally get the best of both worlds with Andrew and Troy. Not everyone may be ready for you guys just yet, but LBK Now sure wishes they were. To hear The LB for yourself, check out their Myspace by clicking here. The Lesbian Breakfast's ep "Are You Hungry" is also available for download on iTunes. To hear more of Make Yourself Comfortable, visit their Myspace by clicking here. |
