LAV.ISH

THE LAMB CHOPS OF MUSICAL STYLINGS 

​

From the beginning, LAV.ISH set out to make a “Big Splash” in the Des Moines music scene. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

​

The group gained traction almost immediately upon forming in 2017, booking gigs and appearances across the Midwest. They’ve brought their upbeat, party-starting hip-hop sound to local venue Wooly’s, Iowa’s famous RAGBRAI event (the oldest, largest and longest recreational bicycle touring event in the world), and later as direct support to Grammy-winning artist and superstar, Lizzo, when they opened for her at the University of Iowa’s homecoming event. LAV.ISH’s debut album With A Dot In The Middle (2018) caught the attention of producers with Des Moines music festivals 515 Alive, and 80/35. 

 

LAV.ISH continued to push the local music scene by creating 

Des Moines CultureCon; an indoor music and arts festival that headlines local artists and businesses. 

​

Their latest 2020 release, Lost & Fond offers fans a more refined sound that fan-favorite singles “U R” and “Ms.Fortune” took to new heights prior to the full album’s release.

​

The high-energy, good-time-guaranteed sound is brought to life by Carl Lane III (Vocalist), Nim Kaufman (Vocalist), Lucas Brandt (Producer/DJ/Keyboard), and Brandon Herman (Producer/Keyboard). Diverse, clever, and talented. LAV.ISH has a tune for anyone to tune-in to and enjoy. With clean flows and cleaner clothes big things are ahead for the band and it's brand.
