  • Biografia

    So, who are The LangLangs? Most of us dream of a life of fast cars, international espionage and relentless shagging but few of us have the guts to actually live it. The LangLangs are among those few. According to the Lang Langs' self-styled evil Svengali, Hak Nudestrom, their world is an irrational, violent one, full of ice-pick wielding wahinis. 'The funny thing is' explains Nudestrom 'The LangLangs actually dig this sort of existence.' For reasons of national security, the LangLangs' real identities cannot be made known and the names 'Lord Roddy', 'John', 'Michael' and 'Dave' are aliases carefully chosen by powerful computers to protect their true identities. 'The LangLangs are involved in some high level shit, the nature of which I'm not at liberty to reveal.' Explains Nudestrom. 'They use rock n roll as a means of relaxing and meeting chicks who aren't foreign terrorists'. If great bands are in tune with the zeitgeist, the LangLangs have captured the modern spirit of shallow self-obsession better than perhaps any band since Loverboy. 'The LangLangs are Loverboy freaks.' Says Nudestrom. 'They really dig the way Loverboy sprang mysteriously from nowhere to disappear as quickly, leaving only a vague memory of a bunch of wankers in red leather trousers. That, if push comes to shove, is how the LangLangs want to be remembered.' You can help speed up the LangLangs' transformation into preening, leather-clad wankers by signing us to your record label, offering us gigs, or just sending us large amouts of money, which we shall squander shamelessly while poncing about with other vapid dickheads.
