Posted on June 30, 2011

Hey folks!  Thank you so much for your support.  You were so  generous to support us and the love you've shown surpasses all of our hopes and dreams for this project.  We're still in the process of sending tee shirts and cds, so if you haven't received yours, it'll be on its way soon.  

MUCh love,

B

Sadly, some folks pulled out, or decreased their pledges after receiving gifts.  If you are one of these folks, please send them back.


Update #8: OUR GOAL!

Posted on June 8, 2011

Folks!  Thank you so SO much for your support!  We received so much love from yall that we've reached our goal VERY early!  This was so amazing!  If you still have the energy left in you, we could still use the support.  Sadly, amazon will take $200.00 and we've already spent $300.00 on postage.  Please continue to spread the word!!  You all were so generous for supporting us, and we hope you enjoy your gifts!  We LOVE making music and we're so lucky to have the support to do it right!

MUCh love,

the lost bois

Connected as Be Steadwell (1125 friends)

At the age of 12, two lost bois met and, in friendship found musical solidarity. In their teens, A.O. and B.Steady shared the stage as vocalists in their high school jazz band, falling in love with the nuances of the jazz standard. Through college, the bois independently fostered their passions for music and founded The Q Crew, an all-female queer rap trio. Upon their return to DC in the summer of 2009, A.O. and B.Steady reunited with a fierce determination to challenge the sexist, racist and homophobic hot mess that is mainstream music, forming the lost bois.

the lost bois have appeared at Black Pride celebrations across the United States, performed at Colleges and Universities, and have been featured in publications including Colorlines, Sass Magazine and After Ellen.

the lost bois are revolutionizing the queer music scene with a mission to make wacky and silly music for the most serious of strugglers.
