Synopsis

The Thin Book of Poems is the debut publication from Lach, founder of the historical music and art phenomenon dubbed 'Antifolk'. Antifolk has been called the inheritor of the Beat movement inspiring the formation of everything from nightclubs to magazines to record labels all over the world. Lach's seven critically acclaimed albums (''Splendid! Best of its kind!'' - Mojo, ''Spokesman for a generation!'' - Spin, ''A wholly enjoyable voyage into a strange and brilliant musical mind'' - Billboard) have been cited by Beck, Suzanne Vega, Regina Specktor and hundreds more as a source of inspiration. This groundbreaking collection includes work featured on BBC Radio 4's The Lach Chronicles with the initial release being a limited first edition.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

LACH (rhymes with 'snatch') is a musician associated with the Antifolk movement. Born in Brooklyn, New York, and now based in Edinburgh, UK, he was trained as a classical pianist from an early age only to abandon it upon hearing the Sex Pistols, the Jam and the Clash for the first time. Realizing he was a songwriter, Lach backtracked and explored the roots, relishing the works of Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Woody Guthrie. It is claimed that he was outcast by the folk establishment for his liking of punk. In the early 80s Lach went to Greenwich Village's Folk City but soon had to move to the Lower East Side opening his own illegal after-hours club 'The Fort'. The same week Lach opened The Fort, Folk City held the New York Folk Festival, so, Lach held the first New York Antifolk Festival. He came to prominence in 1988 with the Tompkins Square Park Riot. Lach tours rarely and has released only six albums over twenty years.
