About Me

THE LADS are a four piece band who write, record and perform their own original music as well as rockin' versions of their favorite Irish songs and cover tunes.
Three of The Lads were born in Dublin, Ireland, one hails from from the Motor City, and all are now based in Los Angeles. Their music blends pop melodies and harmonies with an aggressive punk edge and a traditional Irish flavor to create an exciting new sound. Their lyrics are heartfelt and thought provoking.
THE LADS recorded 10 original songs at the prestigious A & M Studios in Hollywood. These songs have been released on their CD, "Scrapbook".
Their live shows have been packing clubs and pubs around LA from The Roxy and The Whiskey on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood to the jam packed Irish bars in Santa Monica. They have developed a reputation as a fun, entertaining and energetic live band. With many years of experience they make a fast paced, tight show look easy. They have taken their live shows on the road all over California, Las Vegas and to Europe and left satisfied audiences on both continents.
At the request of JOHNNY DEPP, they performed with Shane MacGowan of THE POGUES at the infamous Viper Room in Hollywood on opening night with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Maria McKee and others.
Also now available, the 15 song CD of THE LADS "Irish Live"
