Whether it was chance or fate that brought these six freaks together is immaterial. All that matters is the glorious, infectious energy these boys are injecting into the capital, like a delicious shot of skank-flavoured adrenaline straight to the heart.
Hailing from the four corners of the city and drawing their influences from the four corners of the globe, this bunch of vertically challenged misfits came together with one aim in mind: to spread the word. Viva!
The seeds of what would become the Fam were sown long ago in the mists of time, as the old millennium gave way to the new singer/songwriters Anton and Simon first crossed paths. Working as the Lyrical Rebelz, these two underground heroes began to hone their skills and craft the first songs of what would become a legendary repertoire. After some time spent performing on the underground Hip Hop scene, they happened upon the next piece of the puzzle: north London producer Mr Sounds, whose exuberant dress sense was matched only by his talent on keys. With live instrumentation in place for the first time, a crazy plan coalesced before them and the path was clear.
The remaining pieces fell into place suspiciously quickly; a chance meeting at a gig furnished them with guitarist Ben Stratford, whose wide influences and bluesy tones added new layers of complexity to the evolving Fam sound; Mr Sounds provide the remaining links in the form of friend Don Cortes, who was drafted in from Drum University to lay down some tight, complex stickwork and also former co-worker Rob, whose thumping, funk-fuelled basslines carved out the groove.
So all is in place and the line-up complete! Criminal, subliminal, and anything but minimal, Lá Fam stand ready at the dawn of a new age, brave explorers of a new frontier. Heroes, visionaries, alcoholics; Lá Fam are all these things and more. Stages invaded, venues rocked. Ladies serenaded and minds unlocked. Lá Fam stand ready to drink, skank and rock their way across the world. And everyone is welcome along for the ride.
