Lazza Ogden

Born a Libran in England's sporting capital city LA (Leicester Area). "The Curse of Dutch Courage" is / was my first book.

Other than writing i enjoy listening to most cutting edge music (If your 40+) like Mod, Punk, Ska, Indie, Metal & Oi.

The house i share with my wife and 2 cats resembles a record shop and there is even a check out till in the kitchen next to the toaster which is manned daily for authenticity (Closed Sundays). My place is just full of CDs, books and vinyl.

After drinking a strong Latte and doing the Rubiks cube of a morning, I can be found watching WWE wrestling, darts or speedway on the box.

I'm big in football and cricket and I'm a regular on the terraces of English non-league team Coalville Town FC.

My US teams are the Bruins (football) & Dodgers (baseball)

Many of the tales that make my book are TRUE. Many happened on some mad weekends away with various punk bands in the late nineties (Terrorist kidnap, nautical disaster anyone) & many other stories like turning up in the wrong country for a gig didn't make the cut as i don't think you'd believe them.

The difficult 2nd book is now upon us. More (mostly) true things that happened this time on tour in America. Welcome to the fold "The Resurrection of Dutch Courage"

Expect more violence and extremity.

If you travel with me....GET INSURANCE!

Now strap yourself in, buy my book, grab a beer and let's rocket jet pants into the world of humor!
