Laid Blak represent 'good vibes' music. The latest addition to Chris Blackwell and Tricky's new label Brown Punk, Laid Blakhas been brought up on Marley, roots, carnival music and soundsystem culture. They mash it all up and what comes out makes hips move and spines tingle.

Created through the partnership of Bristol producer DJ Bunjy and MC Joe Peng, these two veterans of the jungle scene earned their stripes rocking the biggest sessions through the 90's rave scene. As they've grown, their musical direction took a course that led them to seek out some of Bristol�s finest musicians. What started as a studio project became the acclaimed live act - Laid Blak.

MC Joe Peng shares front of stage with the vocal rocket launcher that is Flex. Flexhas the voice and stage presence to grab any audience and devour them. The live set is centred in urban reggae, but touches on jazz, funk, soul and hip-hop. No one ever forgets a Laid Blak performance; the charisma and musical dexterity of the band leave a lasting impression. This is dance music aimed at getting you moving. The 'good vibes' shine through all the songs and they always steal the show at festivals, one review noting them as 'the essential festival band'.

In Laid Blak's journey so far they have supported heavyweights Julian Marley, John Legend and Desmond Dekker. They have rocked crowds at festivals like Glastonbury and Ashton Court Festival and made waves at In The City Urban.

Their first single on the Brown Punk label, 'RED' is out 3 DECEMBER 2007, and they are supporters of Love Music Hate Racism
