Lach's Antihoot
The host of the longest running open mic night in NYC now lives in Scotland and ponders resurrecting the Antihoot. From 2016.
Lach was the King of Manhattan鈥檚 East Village and host of the longest running open mic night in New York. He now lives in Scotland and finds himself back at square one, playing in a dive bar on the wrong side of Edinburgh.
His night, held in various venues around New York, was called the Antihoot. Never quite fitting in and lost somewhere lonely between folk and punk music, Lach started the Antifolk movement. He played host to Suzanne Vega, Jeff Buckley and many others; he discovered and nurtured lots of talent including Beck, Regina Spektor and the Moldy Peaches. But nobody discovered him.
In this, the final episode, Lach decides it鈥檚 time to bring back the Antihoot and wonders what this adventure might bring.
