Books By Lach - Author

A New Yorker by birth, Lach established the Antifolk music and arts movement in the 1980s, in reaction to the remnants of the folk music of the 1960s, and has been credited as a key influence on artists as well-known as Beck, The Moldy Peaches, Regina Spektor and Suzanne Vega, to name but a few. He recently made a cameo appearance in the much-heralded new documentary about the New York music scene, Meet Me in the Bathroom, and is featured in countless books on the music scene.

Having established himself as a musician and ringleader of the Antifolk movement, running cult venue The Fort and helping budding artists to launch their careers at venues like NYC’s East Village landmark venue Sidewalk Café, Lach made the move across the pond in the early 2000s to pursue his comedy career at the Edinburgh Fringe and went on to perform at venues like The Stand, Gilded Balloon and Voodoo Rooms, and touring the UK with his one-man show. His move to the UK was documented in a BBC Radio Scotland half-hour special and his monologue series The Lach Chronicles became a three-part BBC Radio 4 hit and listed as Top Radio Pick in every major UK paper. 

Now, Lach has turned his creative attention to fiction and his debut, Langdimania, comes from very personal experiences: a father telling his son bedtime stories; a husband mourning the loss of his beloved wife; a grown man trying to make sense of his childhood experiences and his own unique brain and imagination; and an artist who is compelled constantly to extend the limits of his creativity.
