LZ7 – TOUR PRANKS

In this Tour Pranks segment, the electro/dance band, LZ7, share some pranks that have happened on tour. You can check out the feature, after the break.

We told our drummer once that you needed a jab (inoculation) against a disease called ‘Typhella’ (made it up – it’s a cross between rubella and typhoid and the best I could come up with) to go on tour in New Zealand. Anyways, we said it was a water based parasite that enters through any orifice in the body. We had a pharmacist in New Zealand play along too. Needless to say, the poor lad was ‘break peeing’ and ‘hovering’ when going to the loo and running around in the shower as not to get too wet – for 10 days! Pretty hilarious that he went that long.

The same drummer used to wear low crotch jeans. On a flight, we filled the crotch of the jeans very slowly with water as he slept until there was a pool in his lap. I then hit the flight attendant buzzer. As you can imagine, she thought he had had an accident in his pants. Too funny.

We filled another drummers snare and toms with icing sugar, waiting for the big drop in the intro – on the first beat he disappeared into a cloud of dust and by the end of it was covered as the icing sugar stuck to his clothes, face and anything it could. Looked like a yeti by the end of it!

Keep up with the band on Facebook and Twitter!
