“You Must Change Your Life”: Smiths-Influenced Rock… By Orthodox Priests

YOU’RE WELCOME.

…With Luxury’s members now scattered across the U.S., Trophies was recorded in Atlanta after a successful crowd-funding campaign in 2014 — which, after so much time away, says a lot about Luxury’s cult following.

Luxury’s no different, except that three of its members — brothers Lee and Jamey Bozeman (guitars, vocals) and Chris Foley (bass) —became Orthodox priests. That’s partly the subject of a new documentary’s crowd-funding effort, Biography/Autobiography: A Story Of A Band Called Luxury.
