Big up to Ash and Punk Collective for putting on such a successful night on June 13th.

All the bands were extremely talented and, more importantly, friendly and easy going.

For us it was such a breath of fresh air to be sharing a venue where everyone wanted to be there and wanted the night to work. Everyone had done their bit in promoting the show and our glasses and cans are raised especially to Ash who had worked tirelessly for weeks promoting this show.

Even though it was a hot evening in a Dalston basement people turned up and stayed to support all of the bands and, as it should be, all the bands supported one another. Sofia (Sophia?), the engineer on the night also did a cracking job in making us all sound top notch.

We hope that we get invited back as we had a cracking night!

Here’s a vid clip made from some smartphone footage taken by Annette (thanks for that).

Holy crap! What an oversight!

bombayWow. Just wow.

I really don’t know where to start with this except – better late than never.

You lovely sLACKers that come and visit us on our Facebook page will already be aware but some of you out there might not.

The thing is…. we’ve built a video for Bombay’s Miles Away.

It’s there for all to see – we just forgot to mention the fact on here.

Have a look and let us know what you think 🙂

Cheers

This week! LACK on the radio and at The Hope and Anchor

wheeeeThis week sees LACK getting out and about to support their new demo – Anthem.

The first stop is a live acoustic session at Radio Milton Keynes tomorrow evening (Tuesday April 28th).

Rob and Jay will be spending some time chatting with Russell as well as playing a few of the songs from Anthem. How will these tracks translate in to stripped-down acoustic versions? Tune in between 6pm-7pm GMT and find out!

On Friday May 1st LACK will be slap-bang in the middle of a show of 5 bands at the Hope and Anchor, Islington.

Rob says:

This actually feels like our first gig. We did a handful of shows at the end of last year but, now we’ve recorded the demo and spent almost a year together as LACK, this is going to be special”

V-Device, LACK, Baby Howl, G.E.F., The JunkleBirmingham-based psychedelic space rockers, Giant Elf Fist will kick the night off followed by more London Indie rockers The Junkle. LACK will be bringing the metalli-punk n roll and alternative/funk rockers Baby Howl will warm the stage up for headliners V-Device.

V-Device hail from Naples, Italy and are touring the release of their new album – Vidana – which is available on the This is Core label.

The debut from LACK – Anthem

By

jay monitorThat’s right sLACKers!

The LACK lads have had a busy 9 months since they formed the metalli-punk ‘n’ roll trio and to mark that fact they’ve only gone and recorded a debut EP.

rob guitar studioThe recordings were sent over to them less than 24hrs ago but they have decided to share them with all of you.

Jay says:

What’s the point in recording something that you feel proud of and then keeping it to yourself? There’s actually a few people out there who care about what we’re doing so at least we can now show them what we’ve been up to”.

Steve drums studio5 tracks in a weekend session isn’t bad going for a band who have been together for less than a year.

How did it all turn out?

Well, have a listen 🙂

LACK in the studio

By

lack drinksIt’s pretty much a year since Rob, Steve and Jay decided that they should become a trio and, this weekend, they head towards another milestone.

They’ve written a fistful of new tunes, played live a few times but Saturday will see LACK heading to south London to record some material.

The lads are really psyched to be hooking up with Andy at The Recording Studio at The Brook for two days of noise making.

everyone against everyoneRob has this to say about the upcoming sessions:

LACK are really looking forward to entering the studio this weekend as it’s the first time we’ve recorded as a 3 piece!

We’ve been running through the songs we want to record and are excited to hear the fruits of our labour …. God only knows what it’s going to come out like! 😉

The tracks are to be recorded to a demo standard and from that we’ll enter the studio again later in the year to record a proper EP.

This all means so much to the three of us as we’ll be in complete control of what we’re doing which hasn’t always been the way in our past projects. We are three brothers. We are LACK and we’re equals.

Metalli-punk ‘n Roll. See you all soon!

So, there you have it.

Stay tuned to the social channels for live updates, pics and maybe even video over the weekend.
