Who are you and where do you originate from?

The Lash are Erin McNamara (vocals) former 60ft Doll Carl Bevan (drums and production) Kyle (bass) and Joe and Chris (guitars and backing vocals). Weare all from Newport except Carl who is the genetically spliced lovechild of Keith Moon and Oliver Reed and thus his origins are shrouded in an alcoholic haze.

How long have you been together as a band?

Erin, Carl and Chris began writing and demoing songs in the summer of 2011. We’ve been a fully functioning five-piece live band for about a year now.

How would you describe your style of music?

Rock&roll with tantrums. Little Richard meets Led Zeppelin. Phil Spector on a motorcycle with Janis Joplin the sidecar.

What’s your best live experience so far?

Playing to a couple of thousand moist people at a festival in Bath in June. Despite the weather, they danced awkwardly and loved every moment of it.

What are you working on at the moment?

Writing /recording/ writing/ recording/ writing/ recording...

Where can we catch you live?

Le Pub on Saturday December 15th with two very special bands: Ulysses
and The Fixed.
