About Lakes

There are at least two artists that go by the name of Lakes: note: *UK Post-Hardcore group have now changed their name to Kid Pang Lakes (San Luis Obispo, CA, USA) Seth Roberts (formerly of Watashi Wa) emerges with his latest project, Lakes. Featuring a melodic indie rock sound in the same vein as bands like Mae and former labelmate Copeland, Roberts diverges from Watashi Wa musically, while retaining a songwriting style that focuses on life, love, and hope. The Photographs EP was officially released in September of 2006 on The Militia Group. The 5 song EP features Aaron Marsh (Copeland) and Mike Herrera (MxPx) singing background vocals on Photographs and White Flag, respectively. In 2010, the band self-released their full length debut The Agreement which is available on the band's website: http://www.lakesband.com/. Lakes (Melbourne, Australia) Lakes is Melbourne musician and artist Sean Bailey, whose musical pedigree extends from roots in mid-90s Tasmanian hardcore to Melbourne groups as notable and diverse as Ninetynine, the Vivian Girls, George W. Bush, Flesh Vs Venom and many others. Since 2002, Sean has been performing by himself or with occasional guests as Lakes, using distorted drum machines, casio keyboards, guitar and percussion to create a world of intriguing, angular, at times dissonant pop hits.
