Everyone knows that to make it in this business you need more than just to like the music; you need to live it and this is what "The Lives" do. Through every vein of this musical collective pumps artistic inspiration and a desire to spread a message through sound. Jimbo Lawton is the Lives, Lawton creates emotive lyrics delivered with a powerful voice. Inspirations of John Lennon, Neil Young, Oasis, Electric Light Orchestra, Brian Eno, Killers, MGMT and Damien Rice are put into a melting pot to create, what we hope you will find, an arousing blend! If you come to a gig not only will you not be disappointed but you will not fail to be charmed by Jimbo banter. How could you not tell all your friends about "The Lives"!

Alright, how's it going? Check out our new video - On The Run! Here's a bit of background:
Based on a hallucinogenic road trip, On The Run is an imaginative account of a young man's journey into the unknown. Inspired by the tales of visionaries like Hunter S Thomson, Aldous Huxley and Jack Kerrouac, the video delves into the mysterious realms of fantasy often experienced during a long induced state of altered consciousness.

Alan here.
Packing me boots, stringing me guitars and getting ready for the next two weeks. Don't be frightened to shout out any songs off the album you want to hear and don't forget the crazier you are the crazier we are.
Look forward to seeing you in the asylum at the end of the tour.
