Lucky Boys Confusion came together in 1997 in DuPage County, out in the western suburbs of Chicago, and they never saw a reason to pick just one genre. Rock, punk, ska and hip-hop all get tossed into the blender, with Kaustubh "Stubhy" Pandav on lead vocals and Adam Krier on guitar and vocals doing most of the songwriting, and a rhythm section of Jason Schultejann on bass and Ryan Fergus on drums keeping the whole thing bouncing.
Elektra picked them up, and The Soapbox Spectacle EP in 2000 captures the band at its most hyperactive. "Fred Astaire" is a nimble, sing-along sprint with a title to match, and "Dumb Pop Song" wears its self-aware grin right on its sleeve, the sort of sticky suburban anthem made for blasting out of a car window in the school parking lot.
Joe Sell, a founding member on guitar, stayed with the band until his death in 2012.
