Fai Laci
Lost Lake Presents Fai Laci on Friday, May 22 — “What can we do to get people off their fucking phones?” exclaims founder and frontman Luke Faillaci, explaining the mission behind Fai Laci, the band he founded and fronts. “And how can we give them something real and make them have a great time? That’s the most important thing we can do: Just communicate with our followers and let them know they fucking rule!” The Boston quintet — which also includes guitarists Anthony Cervone and Michael “Goldie” Goldblatt, bassist Cal Hamandi, and drummer Zack Putnam — have already amassed a grassroots fanbase thanks to their energetic, wildly cathartic live shows around the Northeast. They’ve seen a community coalesce around their inspired rock songs, with a quarter-million monthly followers and millions of streams despite, until recently, having no label, no publicist, and no manager. They’re proof that good tunes can still find their audience, and they’re working hard to bring others into the fold. “We’ve always been making music for ourselves, and we’re going to hold ourselves to that, because we know other people will want to hear it, too.” Fai Laci are a band with a mission, and Elephant in the Room is the ideal vehicle to achieve it. Produced by Dan Auerbach and recorded at his Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, the album blends the urgency of punk and the stomp of glam with the theatricality of classic rock, all bound together by the band’s sharp swagger and Faillaci’s boundless charisma. Especially for a debut, it’s confident and surprisingly diverse, full of brazen rockers and bruised-heart ballads. The band expertly traverses the psychedelic time and tempo changes of “Cure Upon the Hill” with the same grace and nuance that they bring to “Beautifully Boring,” a dreamily bittersweet anthem about navigating your young adulthood with your sense of self intact. In between, they deliver bangers like the decadent “Sarasota” and the jittery new wave “Headlights”, each a showcase for their inventive guitars and nimble rhythm section. “We never set out to make a certain kind of sound,” says Faillaci. “It takes us wherever it takes us. We got more into the rock side of things on the album, but we also wanted to have some really beautiful songs on it. We wanted to have something for everybody.” That’s been the defining Fai Laci attitude since Faillaci founded the group. Working by himself and learning as he went along, he released two EPs and a handful of singles that he hoped might eventually make their way beyond his circle of friends. Those early songs reveal a young artist still integrating all of his favorite artists, from the obvious (Bowie, Nirvana, The Doors) to the notso-obvious (The Highwaymen).

Greg Mendez w/ Maria BC
Lost Lake Presents Greg Mendez with Maria BC on Friday, August 21st. Greg Mendez has always been an economical songwriter – he wields restraint and simplicity as tools, the core of his songs sharpened into simple, cutting truths. On Beauty Land, his new album and debut LP for Dead Oceans, we’re guided by a wry but forgiving narrator, an underdog who has learned to balance cynicism and faith. These songs are self-effacing without self-pity, carefully constructed altars of imperfection channeled through pop melodies, shimmering but urgent guitars, and a voice that reaches for choir boy innocence. The bulk of Beauty Land was recorded directly to tape, almost entirely alone in Mendez’s makeshift home studio in Philadelphia – a small room with no natural light. It’s his first full length since his unexpected self-titled breakthrough in 2023, which was a slow burn success following 15 years of writing and recording music in relative obscurity between Philly and New York. Beauty Land picks up where we left off three years ago – plumbing the depths of grief, love, and addiction – but its intense, quiet clarity shows Mendez at his songwriting best. Parts of Beauty Land feel like a lucid dream, dented characters carve their way through a world that’s cartoonish and warped – the broken-clock march of “I Wanna Feel Pretty,” the chiming toy piano on “Gentle Love.” “Mary / Dreaming” begins as a sparse, finger-picked lament before cutting abruptly to a deflated, Beach-Boys-but-make-it-fucked-up resolution that brings both melancholy and joy; a sense that all things can be true at once. None of the 14 tracks here break three minutes, but they tell stories that span lifetimes. Death floats through the record, whether it appears as a memory or a threat. Everything feels precarious. There’s a fragility to how these songs are built: the way the funeral organ hits alongside the morphine on “Looking Out Your Window,” the devastating simplicity of “Frog,” with its slowed-down keyboard and bare refrain: “Please forgive me for my faults.” Beauty Land feels, at times, impossibly lonely. Which makes it really count when it doesn’t – like when Mendez sings in harmony with his wife and bandmate, Veronica near the end of “So Mean” and it feels like a cherished reunion, a fleeting moment of redemption, a temporary parting of the seas.

Perry Maysun – A Very Pathetic Tour w/ Isaiah Poet
Lost Lake Presents Perry Maysun – A Very Pathetic Tour with Isaiah Poet on Sunday, June 21st. Perry Maysun is a 23-year-old alternative hip-hop artist from New York whose work explores substance abuse, mental health, and societal challenges with striking honesty and depth. His goal is to inspire listeners to practice self-compassion, encapsulated in his signature phrase, collective, and clothing brand, “BYOBF” (Be Your Own Best Friend). His music combines intricate and intimate storytelling with groundbreaking production, resonating deeply with audiences who have faced hardship of any kind. His creative vision also extends beyond music to include poetry, clothing, short films, paintings, sculptures, making each release a fully realized artistic experience. Perry’s dedication is unwavering. He has completed twenty four fully conceptualized albums, even while undergoing six months of chemotherapy, a full knee and partial femur replacement, and treatment for a life-threatening tumor in 2024. His work serves as a therapeutic outlet for listeners, consistently encouraging self-compassion and resilience. Perry is brutally honest about his past, with his music diving deep into his struggles with heroin addiction, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, suicide attempts, and being a victim of sexual violence. This, in addition to his transparency about fighting cancer, makes him relatable and inspiring to anyone. With his most ambitious release yet, Pathetic Beasts, Perry will unveil a 27-song double album that expands his world into something both deeply confessional and visually immersive. Anchored by eight singles, each tied to a distinct color representing the emotional core of the song, the project will transform themes like grief, rage, rebirth, isolation, and self-acceptance into a cohesive sensory experience across music, visuals, and artwork. On the upcoming tour, this concept will come to life as Perry will be painted a different color each night, embodying the spirit of a specific single and turning every performance into a living expression of vulnerability, resilience, and the album’s central message: be your own best friend.

Playlunch
Lost Lake Presents Playlunch on Saturday, August 15th. WHO’S READY FOR A GOOD F*CKING TIME? “The Hottest Aussie band since Amyl & The Sniffers.” In 1964, a band of mod-suited mop-tops from Liverpool, England arrived on the shores of New York City and kicked off an explosion of Rock & Roll that historians would come to refer to as “The British Invasion.” And now, in 2026… The Aussie Invasion is coming. This summer the world’s pre-eminent Bogan Funk band Playlunch are setting sail for North America and bringing their unique brand of raucous dance tracks to the masses. https://youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?si=Gk4KnDStsGh0NO8Z So what exactly is Bogan Funk? It’s basically what happens when a bunch of Aussie blokes who grew up playing INXS covers at the local pub set out to try and become the new Kool & The Gang. Think… James Brown meets Crocodile Dundee. Earth, Wind & Fire meets Amyl & The Sniffers. And it seems to be exactly what the world was waiting for… https://youtu.be/YBuVloFXQCw?si=mmldjhNm_SiDu9AJ With more than 30 million views across platforms, the Melbourne 7-piece have become one of the hottest acts emerging from the land down under. Placing #4 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of 2025, their viral track ‘Keith’ has taken the band international – capturing even the attention of Canadian rapper Bbno$ https://youtu.be/ZpuzyEFnUG8?si=zMRo1oSpDEizE8Nn “Let’s face it, it’s a confusing time in America at the moment – and people could probably use a good night out” says frontman and bandleader Liam Bell. “We’re hoping to come over and give people something they’ve truly never seen before. Expect Pool Noodles, Speed Dealer sunnies, and a lot of colourful language that probably isn’t quite so endearing in the states as it is back home.” Set to be one of the most anticipated debuts of 2026, this tour is your chance to experience the once-in-lifetime spectacle that is Playlunch before the rest of the world finds out about them.
