Lazy Band are a Romanian Pop-Jazz band formed in Bucharest in 2011, originally consisting of Andreea Stirbu (lead vocals), Andrei Stanciu (guitar), Elmira Mustafa (bass guitar), and Claudiu Rusu(drummer). Lazy Band was originally called Kindly Unspoken, but because the name was hard to remember or pronounce, they changed it to a more easy to remember 'Lazy Band'.

The begining(2008)
On 3 august 2008 Andrei Stanciu and Andreea Stirbu started to rehearse a few cover songs. The first song was Radiohead - Street Spirit. The location was at BullGuard Headquarters, where later on, they established the groundplay for late-night rehearsals.

Early days (2010–2012)
In 2010, guitarist Andrei Stanciu, a programmer at BullGuard Software, and bassist Elmira Mustafa decided to form a band. Soon they found a drummer, Claudiu Rusu, and started their own compositions, under the name Kindly Unspoken.

The breakup (2012–2013)
In 2012 they decided that the name is complicated and changed it to "Lazy Band". Shortly after, Claudiu Rusu(drums) left the band to join a cover band. After a while, Elmira Mustafa(bass), decided to give up music due to some personal issues. Andreea Stirbu and Andrei Stanciu started the process of replacing the peformers, and after a few months of searching, they welcomed Ati de Chile(drums) and Andreas Aron(bass) and started o series of concerts. In 2013 they started recording a few songs and the band split again. Andrei Stanciu and Andreea Stirbu made the first video, Dirty Martini, but unfortunalty shorty after that Andreea Stirbu left the band.

The comeback(2014–2015)
