Lazlo Bane is an American alternative rock band from Santa Monica, California, United States. They are well known for collaborating with former Men at Work member Colin Hay, and providing the song "Superman" as the theme for the television show Scrubs.
The band's origin can be traced back to the efforts of Chad Fischer touring with School of Fish in the early 1990s as a drummer. After a disagreement and falling out with a producer and School of Fish eventual split, Fischer went solo and began writing and recording his material without the benefit of professional mixing or mastering.
Taking the name Lazlo Bane Chad Fischer initially signed to Los Angeles-based indie label Fish of Death Records, and released debut single "Buttercup" backed with a cover of Men at Work's 1983 hit "Overkill". The latter was recorded in conjunction with Men at Work's frontman Colin Hay, with whom Chad Fischer formed a solid relationship and would continue to collaborate in the studio and live to this day.
In 1996, Fischer resigned to a bigger label Almo Sounds, recruiting bass player Chris Link, guitarist Tim Bright, and a drummer nicknamed Chicken to form a band and to share the effort and workload. In August 1996, Lazlo Bane produced an EP Short Style, composed of five tracks, and on January 28, 1997, the band released their first full-length album, 11 Transistor, featuring Fischer originals as well as their proved to be popular cover of "Overkill". The song was released as a single by Almo Sounds and was accompanied by a music video directed by Mark Miremont (again featuring Colin Hay), which eventually reached MTV2's Top 10 of the Year list for 1997.
After the release of the debut album, Lazlo Bane went on tour in the US with Los Angeles band Chalk FarM, particularly participating in the WAXY-FM radio's music festival Buzz Bake Sale in November 1997.
In the late 1990s, Lazlo Bane began work on the follow-up to 11 Transistor but eventually had to continue without assistance from a major recording label since the band was dropped from Almo after it was bought by Universal Music Group in early 2000. Chad Fischer also self-established the recording studio Lookout Sound, where the work on the Lazlo Bane's second album continued.
In the beginning of 2007, Lazlo Bane started work on a new album of 1970s covers named Guilty Pleasures, which was released on July 10, 2007. In the summer of 2007, Lazlo Bane began touring in support of Guilty Pleasures, opening for Colin Hay on several dates. This was the band's first official tour in ten years.
During the summer tour, Lazlo Bane performed a new original song, "Myspace Page". The next album that should have consisted of original material was in the plans but was postponed due to some work of members of the band outside Lazlo Bane. During that time, Chad Fischer and Tim Bright were scoring the ABC series Private Practice. Fischer also produced the soundtrack and scored the film The Rocker, released in 2008. Several songs for the film were recorded with the participation of Lazlo Bane band members. Chicken worked on music for the 2008 film Paris, directed by Cédric Klapisch and later formed the band The Duke & The King with Simone Felice of the Felice Brothers. By the end of 2009, the only new Lazlo Bane song "Myspace Page" was put on the band's Myspace page and the new album was shelved for an undefined period.
Since 2013, the band showed no new activity until the end of 2018, when the vinyl reissue of the All the Time in the World took place.
In 2020, the band reunited for the release of the new version of

The first new release by the band was the song "Superman" which appeared on the soundtrack album to The Tao of Steve in 2000. It soon became the band's most recognizable song because of its use in the hit TV comedy series Scrubs. Series star Zach Braff, who has selective input on songs chosen for the show's soundtrack, was immediately struck by the song, and wanted to use it as the recurring theme song. The band initially was reluctant and declined Braff's request. After a short while, they changed their minds, and Braff and Fischer worked out an arrangement.
The band's second album, All the Time in the World, finally came out in September 2002 as a self-release. The album expanded the arrangements with additional instruments and effects — such as violin, saxophone, and piano — in comparison to their debut album.
Around the same time, Lazlo Bane members started various additional projects. Tim Bright found techno-rock band Samsara, Chris Link joined hard rock supergroup GIVE, Chicken joined George Clinton led Drugs, while Chad Fischer moved to production and film scoring.
Lazlo Bane still stayed together as a band and continued releases with a new composition "Sleepless In Brooklyn", that was featured in 2005 film Little Manhattan for which Chad Fischer composed the score as well as several original songs by himself. However, the soundtrack for the film haven't been commercially released and the song "Sleepless In Brooklyn" remains unavailable. Another song from the film, "Map Of My Heart", written and performed solely by Chad Fischer, would be later played live by the band.
Back Sides followed in 2006 and featured tracks that at some point were considered for inclusion in All the Time In the World, but had been dropped and later refined. Back Sides represents the paradigm shift in music marketing as it is a "virtual album", available primarily through online sales outlets instead of traditional, physical retailers.
Since 2009, the band has made a few appearances with new covers. They covered Spandau Ballet's song "True" from their album of the same name for the 2009 film I Love You, Beth Cooper, but it was left off the film's official soundtrack.
Another 1980s cover, A-ha's "Take On Me", has been featured in ABC's TV show Private Practice, in the episode "Short Cuts", which originally aired on September 30, 2010.
On October 16, 2012, the band released a follow-up EP to their album Guilty Pleasures titled Guilty Pleasures the 80's Volume 1. It featured "Take On Me" among the tracks, but Lazlo Bane's cover of "True" was left off again.
