LACH came to the kiosk last year and blew the bloody doors off! Catch them on the last date of their tour!
Lach (pronounced ‘Latch’) is acknowledged as the godfather of anti-folk, a hybrid genre that started out in the East Village of New York City, when he and a bunch of young musicians, raised on punk, but playing acoustic guitars and writing literate songs, were tossed out of traditional folk clubs and forced to create their own underground music scene.
Here’s what folks say about Lach’s inimitable style...
“Lach is the mastermind of Antifolk, like a Lower East Side rendezvous of Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. Like black snow, stalled subway cars and random violence, Lach is a Manhattan institution.” - NY Times
“Lach is incredibly bright, he’s influential, he’s funny, he’s smart, and he’s got his own, sort of, counter-culture charm. A very intelligent songwriter, funny, poetic. He became part of New York folklore.” - Suzanne Vega “
“He’s a street-corner ambassador. Lach is beat. He’s a ringmaster. He’s a poet’s poet.” - Michelle Shocked
“Lach is a star! More Woody Allen than Woody Guthrie and a raised middle finger to the folk purists.” - NME
“Lach’s Great.” - Bob Dylan
