Livin Extra Large
For those who read his prodigious output every day here on No Mas, it should not come as a huge surprise that our wordsmith-in-chief Large was tapped to write MSG’s new “Mecca of Boxing”, a celebration of the greatest fights in the world’s most famous arena.
But what if I told you that the man had also composed three original songs for the show and appears in several montage sequences: singing, strumming a guitar and, at one point, shadowboxing to his own deep groove? Well, you might have your doubts. But that’s probably just because you didn’t know that Large a.k.a Dave Larzelere has yet another stage name: Dave Lear. And basically, whatever he feels like calling himelf, he is a seriously talented sumbitch.
The show premeires tomorrow night at nine on MSG. Check the preview here with Large all up in there. In the next week we are gonna be offering a free download of “Ali/Frazier”, one of the songs that appears in the show.
In the meantime, congratulations to Large and to our man Stephen Palgon, who produced the show.

this reminds me of greg brady calling himself “johnny bravo”.
not to be insulting, because i havent heard your music.
and i honestly wish you success.
because all the guys here are as cool as anything, even madsear. he’s probably the only french guy i like.

Yeah, I feel you. I’ve been Dave Lear a long time in the music world. It’s a tough hustle, the music scene, and “Larzelere” does not exactly roll off the tongue. And now it’s going, I kind of have to live with it.
But I’ll always be Large to you.
