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''.
==Background== ===Formation and early years=== 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.2ndfirstlook.com/2010/12/school-of-fish.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213014222/http://www.2ndfirstlook.com/2010/12/school-of-fish.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=February 13, 2011|title=School of Fish: The Best Lesson Learned|date= December 27, 2010|publisher=2ndfirstlook.com|accessdate=20 February 2019}}</ref> 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.<ref name=pauseandplay>{{cite web|url=http://www.pauseandplay.com/lazlo-bane-wants-to-be-your-superman/ |title=Lazlo Bane wants to be your 'Superman' |work=Pauseandplay.com |accessdate=2013-10-20 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021052156/http://www.pauseandplay.com/lazlo-bane-wants-to-be-your-superman/ |archivedate=2013-10-21 }}</ref><ref name=lbhist>{{cite web|url=https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lazlobane|title=The History of Lazlo Bane |publisher=cdbaby.com |accessdate=2019-04-05}}</ref>

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.<ref name=lbhist/>

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 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.<ref name=myspace_blog/> Chicken worked on music for the 2008 film ''Paris'', directed by Cédric Klapisch<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0869994/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd Soundtracks for Paris], IMDb</ref> and later formed the band The Duke & The King<ref name=Duke_King>{{cite web|url=http://loosemusic.com/theduketheking|title=The Duke & The King|publisher=loosemusic.com|accessdate=2018-01-18|archive-date=September 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927074047/https://www.loosemusic.com/theduketheking|url-status=dead}}</ref> with Simone Felice of the Felice Brothers.

==Name== Lazlo Bane is named after the main character of Rachel Andrews' experimental novel ''Theme Park Roadkill''.<ref>''Short Style'' and ''11 Transistor'' liner notes</ref>
==The (Silent) Rage== {{Main|Big Spill}} The (Silent) Rage (T(S)R) is Lazlo Bane's alter ego side project which is stylistically similar to AC/DC. For the project the members of Lazlo Bane switched instruments and took pseudonyms: Dino (Chicken) - vocals, Fuzzy (Tim Bright) - bass, Licks (Chad Fischer) - drums, and Stixx (Chris Link) - guitar.
The band's Myspace page was added in 2006 with four songs available to listen: "Dirty Old Man", "Switch Hitter", "Big Spill" and "Take No Prisoners". Another song titled "Black Fly" was made available as a music video on YouTube in 2007.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRSY0DNSu2g Black Fly] on YouTube</ref> This song is a dance-influenced track, which is a departure from the hard rock style of T(S)R.
In 2008 The (Silent) Rage was featured in the film ''The Rocker'', starring Rainn Wilson and Teddy Geiger. The songs "Promised Land" and "Pompeii Nights" attributed to the fictional band Vesuvius were written and performed by the members of The (Silent) Rage, with lead vocals sung by Keith England.<ref>[http://www.myspace.com/keithenglandrocker Keith England MySpace page]</ref> "Pompeii Nights" is a re-recording of the song "Dirty Old Man" with different lyrics. Another new song featured in the film called "Tailgate" was solely performed by T(S)R.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031969/soundtrack Soundtracks for The Rocker], IMDb</ref> The songs "Promised Land" and "Pompeii Nights" were released on the film's official soundtrack.
The year 2013 finally saw the release of the band's first studio album, ''Big Spill''.<ref>[http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/therage Big Spill] at CDBaby</ref> However, the word "Silent" was omitted from the band's name making it simply The Rage.
