	Lach has been called “New York’s living legend” by Time Out London and "The roots of modern songwriting: Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, The New York Dolls, Nick Drake and Lach!" High praise indeed but not uncommon for the founder of Antifolk, the international phenomenon that’s been cited as a main inspiration for such acts as Beck, Regina Spektor, Laura Marling and hundreds of others. 

"Lach is incredibly bright, influential, funny, smart, with his own counter-culture charm. He’s become part of New York folklore."-Suzanne Vega,

 "Lach is the best punk rhythm guitarist since Johnny Ramone."-Billy Ficca of Television)

	With six critically acclaimed albums (“5 stars. Splendid, best of its kind!”-Mojo Magazine), a newly published book of poetry (“Outstandingly beautiful.” - stirlingwriter.com) and a hit BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘The Lach Chronicles’ (Top Radio Pick Hit from The London Times, The Observer, The Independent, The Telegraph and RadioTimes!) Lach still cites playing live as his favorite part of his artistic life.
	
	Lach says, “I actually dig all of it or I wouldn’t do it. The albums, the books, the radio show, I see them all as just falling under the general umbrella of being a writer. But it’s at the gigs that it all comes together and I’m so lucky to have an audience that’s there for the ecstatic live moments like I am whether I’m singing a song, telling a story or just riffing. No genre, no definitions just that campfire glow of total possibility.”

	Three years ago Lach moved from New York City’s Lower East Side, where he hosted the most successful, longest-running open mike in town, to Edinburgh, Scotland. Since then he has been constantly touring the UK and building up a fanatically loyal indie-club circuit. Not surprising for a man that founded a worldwide music and art movement and who’s been compared to Dylan and Lenny Bruce in the same breath with the admonishment, “You’ve got to see him live!”

	With his UK touring circuit firmly intact Lach has begun inviting some of his favorite performers along for the ride. Past UK tours have included bills with Suzanne Vega and Hamell on Trial, duets with Florence and The Machine and in July 2015 Lach will be double-billed on The Revolving Doors Tour with multi-platinum artist Chris Barron (of The Spin Doctors). Two journeymen from New York’s East Village mixing tales of the Rock and Roll life with songs that are loved by millions. Not to be missed!

“A Lach show is a face-ache funny, beat-punk-unplugged joy, and likely to send you home with several favourite new songs"- The Guardian UK
