About Me

The Lash is an indie band in the purest sense of the concept. We don't have a publicist. What you see is what we are. We pay for our own records, and therefore, we do whatever we want. We aren't in anybody's pocket. We don't have roadies, so don't be afraid to ask if we need help loading out. We do. If you want to get to know us better, buy one of our records, or visit our web site, or talk to us at a show.
THIS JUST IN: Celtic Mayhem Live, The Lash's long out-of-print debut album, is now available from eFolkMusic.org!!

Influences: We started our career as the ultimate Pogues tribute band, but we grew out of that, and into our own sound. It would be hard to name all the influences running through this band. Everybody brings their own ideas to the table, and nobody has the last word.
Sounds Like: In the end, what we put into our music might not be what you get out of it- so you make the call on who we sound like. On any given night, you might hear The Clash meets Johnny Cash, or Bob Marley meets Bob Dylan; you might hear a centuries old Celtic melody over a drum part that would make Keith Moon proud. We don't break the rules- we don't even acknowledge them.
