antifolk

There are several bands called the Minx. One of them is unsigned 5-piece band Indie band from Wythenshawe in Manchester, UK. The band were formed in 2008 and have recently launched their debut album "Cool As A Courteener". The Minx are a true manchester band and this shows taking influences from Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets and the Manchester musicx scene. Their sound is made up of keyboard melodies and a fast vocal style from lead singer Chris Haddon. http://www.myspace.com/youminx

There are several musicians by this name, but most notably: * Guitarist for industrial rockers KMFDM and Pig, as well as live guitarist for 16Volt. * Drummer of the British white soul boys The Style Council (and occasional fill in drummer for Oasis when the regular drummer, his brother Alan, was unavailable) *An antifolk singer/songwriter from London, England.

In the early 80's, after reading a Dylan biography while blaring The Sex Pistols, Lach came to Greenwich Village. He went to Folk City figuring they'd flip over him. They flipped all right: kicking Lach right out onto the street! So did the other folk clubs. It seemed Lach's form of punk/folk was not at all welcome. Fuck 'em, he thought, and moved to the Lower East Side, opening his own illegal after-hours club, "The Fort".
