Lala Lala was an American drummer, percussionist, actor and voice actor. Born on November 3, 1947 in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, U.S., Lala Lala made significant contributions to the music industry before passing away on March 18, 2014 at the age of 66 in Tampa, Florida.

Known for their unique style and talent, Lala Lala's music resonates with fans who appreciate artists like IAN SWEET, Free Cake For Every Creature, illuminati hotties and more. Their work has left a lasting impact on the industry and continues to inspire musicians today.

With a diverse range of skills and experiences in both music and acting, Lala Lala's legacy lives on through their memorable performances and contributions to various projects. Their dedication to their craft has solidified them as a respected figure in the world of music.

Originally released in October 2016 as a long-since sold-out self-released cassette, Hardly Art re-release Sleepyhead, the debut full-length from celebrated Chicago band Lala Lala, available for the first time ever on LP and CD (along with a new run of cassettes).

Recorded in a basement over the course of five days during a typically-inhospitable Midwestern winter, Sleepyhead is an auspicious—if, at the time, criminally overlooked—debut effort from the young songwriter Lillie West and her then-lineup of supporting players (Abby Black on drums and Karl Bernasconi on bass).

Unlike 2018’s critically-acclaimed The Lamb, Sleepyhead is a rawer, more punked-up album with fewer lyrical metaphors obfuscating it’s intimate, direct emotionality. Committed to tape in an urgent outburst of creative energy, the self-produced record eschews overdubs and takes unfussy aim at the listener’s ears, heart, and the lump in their throat.

Album standout Fuck With Your Friends was a breakthrough moment for West—it was the first song she ever wrote, one that tumbled out of her fully-formed, setting her on the path that’s led to her recent successes. Its also emblematic of Sleepyhead’s confessionalism and fearless forthrightness: “I drink more than I want to 'cause it makes you easier to talk to / And what you're saying is boring,” West sings. This pressing of Sleepyhead also includes new artwork and LP copies arrive on cloud-coloured vinyl.
