Scotland’s Lavaman were quickly recognized for their virtuoso guitar work. With Al Murdoch on lead and long-time co-writer John Ballantyne on bass, Lavaman takes listeners by storm with their debut album, “Back to Earth.” Inspired by their life experiences, “Back to Earth” was in the works for nearly a year. More than an example of musical craftsmanship, it’s also quite the technical feat. With little more than a handful of guitars, a couple of LINE 6 PODs, Cubase SX, Addictive Drums, and a pair of broken hi-fi speakers, the album remains a sonic marvel. Fast forward to 2010 and after a long break Lavaman have reformed as an Explosive Live three piece and are joined by Pete Wightwick on drums. They are currently rehearsing for live shows and writing.
