History

Kelly, the creative force behind the band, has said in interviews that the line-up would almost definitely change in order to tour successfully. Specifically, he cited Andriano's role in the Alkaline Trio as making the bass player's availability for touring limited. Kelly and Andriano previously played together from 1993-1996 in the ska/punk band Slapstick. Slapstick was a punk ska fusion band formed in Chicago by a group of friends from the Elgin area. ...


In December 2004, the band released the EP God Don't Make No Trash -or- Up Your Ass With Broken Glass. An interesting trait of the EP is that, like the name of the EP, each song has two different names. The EP received a number of positive reviews. EP can stand for: EP is the IATA code for Iran Aseman Airlines Extended play, a music recording (usually consisting of several tracks, but shorter than a typical album) European Parliament, the parliamentary body of the European Union Evolutionary psychology, a belief that psychology can be better understood in light...


On September 26th, 2006, the band released their first full-length album Unicornography. The album has a very fast paced, hard sound in comparison to The Lawrence Arms older works, and is more similar in tone and style to their 2006 album, Oh! Calcutta!. The album also features re-recorded versions of the songs "I'm So Happy I Could Just Cry Myself to Sleep -or- The Routes We Wander" and "Building the Perfect Asshole Parade -or- Scratching Off the Fleas", both of which were originally featured on the band's 2004 EP. In 2007 they made their first music video for the song "The La-Z-Boy 500". Unicornography is the critically acclaimed [2][3] [4] debut album by the Chicago-based punk rock supergroup The Falcon and the follow up to the 2004 EP God Dont Make No Trash. ... The Lawrence Arms are an American punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1999 and currently recording for Fat Wreck Chords. ...


It was announced December 12th 2007 on the Red Scare Industries myspace that the Falcon is writing material for a new album.
