Lakes have been many things, had many members and transcended a variety of music styles. We have (hopefully) landed on at least a sound that we feel is ours. The punk ethic is a constant throughout our musical quest, as well as being f**king silly bastards at times (apologies to anyone that's been adversley affected by that trait)
We have played many English cities and towns and met many awesome bands and promotors from all over the place in the process. We aim to continue to spread our grimey rock seed further still, see and play in the places our foreign freinds reside and continue to write gut spillers.
A heads up to bands like scando sexy's - Mimas and Marvin's Revolt, Silent Front, the so so's of middle earth, Lavotchkin (and boydey), medway pikeys - Sparrows, mirror mirror!, The zett's, sky:lark, instruments, git some and, of course, the scamps.
All the while these bands and the many others persevere in spite of playing to a crowd of 7 (inc. support acts), with the help of an erray of cool promoters, and continue to write music that makes your gall bladder want to escape via your piss tube, we have a co-op of good bands, artists, venues and fans, sustaining a D.I.Y. ethic we all hold dear.
Our charge per show is £10,000 - cool?
