Which band did Steve Lacy join as guitarist in 2015?

Steve Lacy joined the band the Internet as its guitarist in 2015.

The Internet is an alternative R&B and soul group formed in Los Angeles in 2011. Its core lineup included vocalist Syd, keyboardist Matt Martians, bassist Patrick Paige II, drummer Christopher Smith, and guitarist Steve Lacy. Lacy’s arrival helped define the band’s distinctive blend of R&B, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music.

His work with the group became especially visible on Ego Death, the Internet’s 2015 studio album. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album and helped establish Lacy as both a guitarist and a producer. He contributed to the band’s music while simultaneously developing his own songwriting and home-recording techniques.

The Internet is connected to the Odd Future collective, which can cause a common mix-up: Odd Future is the broader creative collective, while the Internet is the specific band Lacy joined. N.E.R.D. and the Neptunes are separate acts and were not Lacy’s band.
