Hobo Kiosk

Lach has been called “New York’s living legend” by Time Out London as well as &quot;The roots of modern songwriting: Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, The New York Dolls, Nick Drake and Lach!&quot; High praise indeed but not uncommon for the founder of Antifolk, the international phenomenon that’s been cited as a main inspiration for such acts as Beck, Regina Spektor, Laura Marling, The Moldy Peaches, Jeffrey Lewis, and hundreds of others.
&quot;Lach is incredibly bright, influential, funny, smart, with his own counter-culture charm. He’s become part of New York folklore.&quot; - Suzanne Vega
, the Antifolk Pioneer, Announces Intimate Music and Poetry Performance at Liverpool&#x27;s Hobo-Kiosk

Too punk for folk and too folk for punk Lach, the seminal figure behind the Antifolk movement and a stalwart of New York&#x27;s music scene, who Suzanne Vega totes as &quot;incredibly bright, influential, funny, and part of New York folklore.&quot;
The anti folk pioneer will be playing an intimate gig of music and poetry at Liverpool&#x27;s Hobo-Kiosk.
This exclusive event, limited to just 30 tickets, is priced at £10 each, and offers a rare opportunity for fans to engage with the artist in a uniquely personal setting.
Lach will perform new material as well as favourites from his 6 critically acclaimed albums (“5 stars. Splendid, best of its kind!”-Mojo Magazine), share poetry from his sold-out book (“Outstandingly beautiful.” - stirlingwriter.com) and tales from his hit BBC Radio 4 comedy series ‘The Lach Chronicles’ (Top Radio Pick Hit from The London Times, The Observer, The Independent, The Telegraph and RadioTimes!), and snippets of his debut novel, “Langdimania”
​
Lach&#x27;s influence on the music scene is far-reaching.
His Antifolk movement has been a catalyst for a generation of artists, including Beck, Regina Spektor, Laura Marling, and The Moldy Peaches.
Attendees will have the chance to listen to his music, enjoy his poetry, have their books signed, and chat with the Lach himself.
Lach&#x27;s musical tour is combined with book signings of his debut novel, &#x27;Langdimania&#x27;, a fantastical journey through the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy named Army. The novel has been praised for its vivid imagery, wit, and the wild rollercoaster ride it takes readers on.
Langdimania, like Lach’s songwriting, is sharp, funny and filled with fantastic imagery. Imagine if Jack Kerouac and John Hughes had collaborated on a book
together and you start to get the idea of how much fun Langdimania is forkids and grown-ups alike. Buy this book and read it to your kid. Hell, read it to the punk next door. You’ll be aces in their book forever!” - Larry ‘Ratso’ Sloman -
New York Times Bestselling Author.
