The Luxury
The Luxury is a Boston-based Britrock band, formed in the summer of 2005.
History
Following the 2005 breakup of The Halogens, a Boston-based band fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jason Dunn, The Luxury began with a short-lived lineup brought together by local DJ David Virr (aka Dave Duncan). During 2006 the lineup evolved, beginning with the arrival of Dunn and drummer Stephen Foster, followed by Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra guitarist Daanen Krouth, bassist Justin Day and keyboard player Brooks Milgate (who would later leave to pursue his own projects and be replaced by Steven Borek).
In 2007, they released their debut album This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things. The record entered the College Music Journal top 200 at #152. Dunn has been nominated for "Best Vocalist" 4 times, by the Boston Phoenix, WBZ-TV and the Noise. The Luxury have two audio engineers (Dunn and Foster) in the group.
In May 2008, the band ran into difficulties involving Amazon.com and the Toccoa-based rock band Luxury. It appeared that Amazon had accidentally merged the two bands into one on their website, resulting in confusion over payments for downloads.

The Luxury
by: Tragically HipZoo lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
A little dose of home fire got him all smoothed down
Melancholy wine soaked tenderness
She hated it here and she couldn't care less
Prison yard stares and Fleur de Lis tattoos
Cannibals are saving all their bones for soup
Eating with my fingers and sucking hulls of ships
My parasite don't deserve no better than this
The golden rim motor inn soft water and a color TV
So consumed with the shape I'm in can't enjoy the luxury
The luxury
She said, "Why are you partial to that playboy con?
When you can see me naked anytime you want?"
If I had loads of monody to make me tame and sour
I could pay you to remind of my baby by the hour
Zoo lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
A little dose of home fire got him all smoothed down
This is where it all starts to get good
Then I'll be here waiting for you, like I said I would
The golden rim motor inn soft water and a color TV
So consumed with the shape I'm in can't enjoy the luxury
