L.A.B’s groove blends an eclectic, catchy and laidback Whakatane Bay mix of reggae, pop, blues, rock, soul and funk with electronic influences, all combining to create a sound entirely their own. L.A.B, featuring former members of the bands Kora and Katchafire, have become a mainstay in the New Zealand music scene, with five albums in the last five years, all with at least a one-time Platinum status, dominating the national single and album charts, radio playlists, award shows and sales stats on digital platforms as well. L.A.B also made their name on the live stages of Australasia (and recently the USA too) and were publicly voted as New Zealand’s Best Live Act two years in a row. It’s about time these five musicians showed up in Europe. In October, their European premiere will be at the (already sold out!) Amsterdam Paradiso, and one week later they’ll perform at the O2 Forum in London. Early Spring next year they will release their new album, ‘VI’, supported by more European shows. In anticipation, L.A.B present ‘Introducing’, with 10 of their finest tracks, available on vinyl only exclusively from [Integral] Europe.
