Bums Lie is a band that was started out of a love for music that not only makes you feel good, but also leaves the listener with a sense of substance. In May of 2001 Bums Lie was beginning to take shape and four friends were brought together armed with a Urban reggae sound and a punk attitude. Within a year and a half Bums Lie was opening for reggae legends Culture, and shortly thereafter released their underground classic album First Time Offender. Bums Lie has since opened up for Grammy award winning artist Damien Marley at The Music Farm in Charleston, Sc, and Yellowman at Ziggys in Winston Salem, NC. May 26th 2007 marked the day that Bums Lie released their First CD Why Lie It's For Beer with Rob Tavaglione at Catalyst Recording, and will be touring throughout the southeast playing shows to promote the new CD

Bums Lie has had a busy year in 2008 . The Bums recorded a live album at the Visulite Theater in May entitled "Stumbling, and Mumbling", and promoted it on 10.65 The End with live on air performances. The release date for "Stumbling, and Mumbling" wil be May 23rd at The Visulite Theater in Charlotte. Bums Lie ran into King Django, who has played with Rancid, The Slackers, and The Stubborn Allstars, and gave him s CD. Django like it and put us on his label Stubborn Record. Bums Lie went up to New York City this past summer, and did a show with King Django at The Kniting Factory. We all had a great time, and now we are back in the Queen City trying to spread the lies. You can always find us at your local bar.

In 2009 Bums Lie has been mixing down their new live album "Stumbling and Mumbling", and playing shows around the area. "Stumbling and Mumbling" was recorded one drunken night at The Visulite Theater in Charlotte, NC, and the crowd was fantastic. We had a great time making the album, and now everyone can feel the excitement of a live Bums Lie Show.
