It Give us great pleasure to have Lab4 play within our venue for the south west clubbers to have thier last stomp with the live masters, so many live acts are just a laptop playin back sets but Lab4 have allways setup the whole studio and mix it up boncing off the energys of the crowd ,, (thats you!! )
It takes a lot to drag all that kit around when a laptop would be easier but thats not the way these guys think. Its not about making it easier its about the music sounding right and how it should be!!

Words cannot explain the energy you get when seeing the guys whome make the music playing it with the kit and making it everchanging and is allways reflected off the energys the clubbers create.

here is the offical statement by Adam & Les taken from www.lab4.com

13.09.06) OFFICIAL STATEMENT - LAB4 ARE TO CALL IT A DAY....

The following official statement has come personally from LAB4 and was sent out to those of you on the LAB4 Mailing List before it was uploaded onto this site. We are already being inundated with some really heartfelt emails from all over the world which are much appreciated, and which we are going to do our best to answer all emails eventually. As this is also a topic that seems quite hot on many clubbing websites at present, and so because of this we will be available for comment and interviews over the coming weeks on Harder Faster, Don't Stay In and www.MYSPACE.com/LAB4.

Well, it is definitely long over due that we put finger to keyboard and say Hi! It is unbelievable that we are already at this end of the year and discussing Christmas and New Years Eve gigs again.

The main reason for our contact though is to put pay to a bunch of rumors that seem to be spreading and growing, internet-wide about the future of Lab4……

At the beginning of this year we discussed our intensions of taking 2007 off to be able to recuperate physically and mentally, as well as to take stock of the past 15 years of our lives. We also felt that if we were to continue onwards with our music, that we need to be able to focus for longer without every studio session being disrupted by our gig schedule.

2006 has been a really hard year for us what with the endless delays with the None Of Us Are Saints album followed by being threatened with Legal action over a certain cover version, the Live Extreme productions in Japan and at Brixton Academy and all the extra planning, rehearsing and production work needed to pull off such big shows. After lots of soul searching and reflecting we have decided that it is time to call it a day with Lab4.

We have had an amazing trip with you all over the last 12 years, that has been a constant roller coaster ride of unbelievable highs and lows (mostly highs) that has taken us all round the world and put us in front of crowds of upwards of 15,000 in a single room, but we both know that the time has come to step off and let Lab4 be, and to move on to what ever maybe ahead for us both.

We will be playing live up until NYE which is being discussed with possible promoters at the moment and from there on anyone who is on our mailing list will be informed of what we will be up to into 2007.

We would like to thank everyone who has helped out in the Lab4 camp over the years, particularly Kym for keeping our website running and our calendar full, Ali and Lewy for all their help and support with the record store and for helping out as crew at gigs and Ian Shoesmith for all his help with our artwork. Also, thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years at gigs and via email, it has made all the difference.

Love + Respect
Lab4
