Biography
A year later the cops finally told our hero to move on. The Fort became a mobile club inhabiting various New York hotspots. Lach’s Antifolk sound became the inspiration for many artists such as Beck, The Moldy Peaches, Jeff Lewis, Hamell On Trial, Michelle Shocked and countless others.
In 1990 Lach put out his debut CD, Contender on Danny Goldberg’s Goldcastle label. The album received rave reviews in the press and considerable radio play but alas, three months later the label folded. Lach moved to San Francisco releasing an EP, Family Values Pack, containing The Hillary Clinton Song which aired on over 600 stations during Bill Clinton’s first campaign.
In 1993 Lach returned to New York and started The Fort up again at The Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village, ushering in a new wave of Antifolk.
In 1997 Lach started his own label, Fortified Records, and released, in conjunction with Shanachie Records, Lach’s Antihoot: Live from the Fort. Fortified subsequently released downtown comedian Rick Shapiro’s Unconditional Love, produced by Lach (1998) and Major Matt Mason USA’s Me, Me, Me (2000)

What a Douche-Lord: "After going to Lach's place and telling him that I thought it would be good idea to cut our loses and each go our own way he...said: "You can't do that...I own your record." "What are you talking about?" I said. "It's written in the contract that the agreement is valid starting on the signing date for the length of the term and "The Term" is defined at 2 years. We're several months past 2 years of the signing date." "I own your record...forever...Sales Period means the time period beginning on the Signing Date and continuing in perpetuity for the Master manufactured during the Term in the Territory." I was kind of dizzy in disbelief. Was this really happening. "Are you really doing this?" Lach looked down at the contract took a breath and said, "Well, of course we could discuss the idea of you buying your record back from me." I said I would give him $50 dollars just to see what he would say. "Oh, I think this is a million dollar album," he said without flinching"

Lach here. Sorry for the impersonal nature of this email but time is of the essence. My new album The Calm Before has been entered into the Grammy Nominations as follows: Category 69 – Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album 122. The Calm Before – Lach Quite frankly, I am up against artists with very major label pushes and politics behind them. Being a small one-man operation the most I can do is to ask you to please pass this email on to your list. You never know who just may be a voting member. Anyone can Click Here to listen to the entire album for free. Hopefully, after listening, some people out there will vote for my work and we can have some fun. As Joe Biden said, "This may be the most important vote you will ever cast." Cheers- Lach www.lachtoday.com www.myspace.com/secretlach
