About LMM

We are based in a small (but historically important of course) market town called Machynlleth, which is located in the heart of Powys, in Mid-Wales (UK)!

We formed in September/October 1999 and started playing covers of various rock, pop, accoustic, punk, and (heavy?) metal songs by artists such as "The Cranberries", "Bryan Adams" and "The Stereophonics". More recent covers are by artists suck as "Green Day", "Feeder", "Travis", "Lit" and even not commonly known bands like "Autopilot Off" and "Joyrider".

Back then we were mainly a cover band but have now started writing our own songs and material. We decided that we cant try and force ourselves to write (as this doesnt seem to work) but since deciding to have a go at the Battle Of The Bands Competition in Newtown, we found that this was the large kick in the ass we needed to help us start writing our own material....and oh boy, did we write, and even bring in an additional guitarist to help add to the sound and provide some additional ideas and styles (yes, that would be you Shane hehe).

Anyone that would like to help us out in some way, be it through venues to play, equipment for us, and...dare I say it...sponsor us, please dont hesitate to contact us.
