Political-electronica band LAL on tour
Location
Toronto’s politically charged, electronically driven LAL are touring the country this summer. LAL will be promoting their third studio album Deportation which was inspired by the events surrounding 9/11 and its fallout -- the rise of a cloaked surveillance state, thicker lines drawn around who is “legal” and who is “not” and most particularly by the fate of several deported friends.
