Richard Peter Snapes & The Lie Awakes. BOOK US

About Me

Hi! I'm Richard Peter Snapes. And they are The Lie Awakes.
I did my own thing for a while, hitting drums, singing into a microphone, and various other recording tasks, but I got lonely and started to seek others to play in a real band.
Fortunately, the search was brief and now there are four others who go by the name of The Lie Awakes. We like to play songs to people, and record and have other folks listen to it. Oh and soon, we'll have finished our new record...ears open, eyes peeled.

One Toy Sarah creates brilliance...

This is what happens when RPS & TLA
go to the sea side after a super birthday.

This is how we approached our record, raw.
