The Lavas

Its like Johnny Cash on a bad (bad meaning 80s good) acid trip, driving down the 101 from SB to SD with a fourteen year old Drew Barrymore in the front seat crying, I want my REAL MOM! I want my REAL MOM! while Sepulturas Give Me Back My Spleen as covered by Elliot Smith is on 88.9. Pure heartbreak baby! Give me MORE!!! -Craig Sparkles Vulnerable at times and absolutely frenzied at others, the LAVAS sound as if the Troggs were clobbering out Cheap Trick AM radio material with an ecstasy-tripping Joan Jett sitting in on vocals.

Vulnerable at times and absolutely frenzied at others, the LAVAS sound as if the Troggs were clobbering out Cheap Trick AM radio material with an ecstasy-tripping Joan Jett sitting in on vocals. A sound, that has increasingly been shaped by the unerring instincts and unflagging energy, not to mention the sassy full-throated voice of Alice Austin. When she digs her vocal chords into the songs, there's a delicate balance between the-girl-next-door and the psychopath that leads one to believe she wouldn't hesitate to boil your bunny.
