Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Lasky were formed whilst queuing for poppers in a highly reputable sex shop. Our most recent acquisition has been a guitarist named David Woolf who we found at Hackney Wick station, sittin' in a ditch drinkin top deck and smellin' pea's. Since then thing's have gone from bad to worse. Children laugh at us in the street, we think it is because of the monkfish we stapled to our head.
So anyway Lasky.............Better than brine.

Great to see you last night and thanks, Tim, for the CD and for talking to me.

I checked back, it was at the Spice of Life I last saw you..... a little longer ago than I thought.

Could always suggest a few venues if you do decide to explore the possibilities down my way, if it's any help.
