Hello to all of you beautiful people who are taking time out of your valuable day to read this needlessly wordy biography that we have been advised to write to make us seem like people, and not 4 robots who are unable to cry. Or to love. Or to do seedy things to your private parts. Which we can. To great effect.
If I can pretend to be partly serious for a few minutes, we all come from parts of Scotland that are separated by about £30 of train-tickets to get to the mutual meeting place of Ayr. It's not our point of meeting by choice, it's just that we all go to university there and its convenience outweighs its wetness. As three of us are music students, we felt it best to be cliche and create a band in which we can express how musical we think we are. Campbell is a film student though, so he just films us creepily. And plays bass occasionally. That was at the end of 2009. It's now a good way through 2010 and the only thing that has changed is that we've played some gigs of varying quality, wrote some songs about people we don't like and Sam cut his emo hair. Oh, and we recorded some songs at university which are up on the tunes-player up above this box. Listen to them and gain a cookie. That's a promise. Assuming you steal cookies. Which you should.
The plans for the future are that of any band at an unknown status. Record and EP, attempt to build a fanbase and then finally work up to world domination.
If you're not completely repelled by our music or banter, you call follow us on the 140-character phenomenon that is Twitter, become our 'fan' on Facebook and download the songs for free on the camp of bands.

Howdy, Apols in advance for the shameless plug....... The final installation of our trilogy of ep's is out Mon 31st May. Blackbody Vol III, mixed/mastered by John Wills (ex Loop, currently Pumajaw) will be available as a strictly limited edition (100) hand numbered cd and also in digital format; to download from all good download stores. (To reserve your cd drop me an email on fraser@thelavaexperiments.co.uk before 31st May)
We are celebrating the release in the usual style with a launch party at The 13th Note, Glasgow, on Saturday 5th June. Tickets are £5 on the door or £3 direct from us (use email above). Kick off @ 8:00pm It's going to be a real big night in a tiny wee venue. We almost had to turn folks away at our last launch in Jan, so getting your tickets in advance is recommended.
Hope to see you there. Cheers, The Lava's X
