Big Lazy is a New York City-based trio known for its noir-infused crime-jazz and cinematic instrumentals that blend blues, jazz, surf, and rockabilly into moody, cinematic soundscapes. Fronted by Stephen Ulrich on guitar, with Yuval Lion on drums and Andrew Hall on bass, the group has been a staple of the downtown NYC scene for over two decades. Their music first gained broader attention with the 1996 debut Amnesia, which helped establish their distinctive noir vibe and earned exposure on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street and NPR’s Weekend Edition. Since then, Big Lazy has released a string of acclaimed albums and contributed to notable projects like HBO’s Bored to Death and This American Life. Explore their biography, discography, and upcoming shows to see why fans describe their sound as cinematic, haunting, and somehow timeless.
