What's the Story?

Though Lucy is a Band has not even been on the shelves six months, Lucy Loves Schroeder is ready to move on. They have nine songs written for the next album, which they hope to record and release (again on Beatville) within the year. A 7-inch of cover songs is also on the band's wish list, along with a West Coast tour with another band or maybe its own summer tour of the Midwest. But before that, Radle says, they want to focus on building a larger local following by playing almost every show they're offered, from this week's opening slot for Jimmy Eat World to next Thursday's headlining gig at Club Clearview to the all-ages punk rock shows that the band loves.

This practice of playing shows other bands would turn down sometimes earns Lucy Loves Schroeder the criticism of its peers. But Binovi says, "Things don't just fall into your lap. You have to work for it. And the only way we know how to do that is to get out there and play shows and get on the road and play shows outside of Dallas. You can be the greatest band in your garage, but if you really want to do something, then you either have to have people come to your garage or get out of there."
