The Bob Lazar Story is the musical brainchild of Matt Deacon. Matt was born and raised in Liverpool, UK. Matt happened across an acoustic guitar in 1982 and played the shit out of it until he became perfectly mediocre. A few years later he had to decide between two possible futures :

1. A life of potential musical obscurity. 2. Becoming a top, top football legend.

Luckily for you, he opted for number 1.

After playing lead guitar for seminal Liverpool band Cosmic Donut, Matt attended Community College from 1993-1996 where he studied Music Theory and Karate.

In 1998, after growing disillusioned with the Karate scene in the UK, Matt travelled to New Zealand, where he now resides. Matt taught guitar for several years before giving it up to become, frankly, one of the best Posties in the southern hemisphere.

As Music Technology became more affordable, Matt started recording tunes, culminating in his first release in 2004. This eponymous debut was OK, but things improved greatly when he changed his musical name from Matt Deacon to THE BOB LAZAR STORY.

2006 brought the magical first proper album, titled "(sic)". This was critically acclaimed by at least three people.

In 2007 The Silence of Perez de Cuellar EP was released to even more acclaim.

Matt then embarked upon the crazy 4 year journey that included one year of taxi driving back in Liverpool but ended with the release of Space Roots in mid 2012.

July 2014 brought us the 15 minute EP - Ghost Of Foodstool, followed up in 2015 with the 22 minute Self-Loathing Joe.

2016 has seen The Bob Lazar Story sign with UK label Bad Elephant Music with plans to release a new full length album in 2017.
