Pilo Lenger from Cologne, who shrunk about 2 inches from years of dragging around his Hammond organ, decided to take up the art of drumming in 2005 and form a breath-taking heavy-psych-rock trio that would combine the raw funk of the late 60s and early prog- & hardrock from the 70s.  Replying to the weird worded ad Pilo put in the paper

were student of greek philology, Stefan Schoo, and the Californian exile, Brian Louis Ramirez. Once the band’s first 4-track demo landed in the hands of Frank Popp and his newly-founded label, TV EYE, and after having been able to witness their first live show at Sonic Ballroom in Cologne, Mr. Popp promptly ushered the three boys into the studio and compelled them to sign a recording contract.

Louis Lament’s debut single, “Pimp Bride With A Smoke Smile”, and their EP "On Fire were" praised in the German media. No. 1 indie rock magazine VISIONS mentioned them as one of the hottest newcomers for 2008 and wrote things like “…bassrumbling, organ-driven heavy psych rock, authentic, sexy, vintage but fresh. This is not the typical 123-Go-Garagerock everybody knows.

The Songs have the knack, atypic in detail…” With masterful songwriting, hooky riffs and catchy vocal lines, their debut album entitled Golden Fleece (planned release: April 2009) is bound to convince listeners of the serious talent involved. And after touring Germany’s club scene and making their way onto the festival stage, Louis Lament are anxious to make people shake and bake abroad…

Check out their buzz saw riffs as they sizzle and spit their way to an eventful climax, highly charged overloads of pounding drums and Brian Ramirez’ nasty roar as there would be no tomorrow… Louis Lament is the shit!
