Toronto's politically charged, electronically driven LAL kick off 11 national tour dates starting July 30th, 2009, playing with major artists such as the Sam Roberts Band at BC's Big Time Out Festival and representing the innovative Global Electronica theme at Regina's 40th annual Folk Festival. LAL will be promoting their 3rd studio album, the acclaimed "Deportation" 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.
