used to do: voice, guitar, keyboards, thighslaps, keys and knobs, piano, cello, handclaps, tamborine
now does: all of the above minus guitar. But not forever I'm told.

Trivia:

  • Lauren and Marie have the same size feet. Lauren is the tallest in Kenickie though, she looked abotu a foot taller than Saffron from Republica on Light Lunch.
  • Lauren sings on about half of 'At The Club' and writes sad lyrics about 'pain and children under the cape of death'. She also sings all of the songs played so far from the new album.
  • Lauren is Johnny X/Pete Goftons sister. Her dad was in Gas Board, an early line up of Roxy Music. Which is quite cool. Lauren also loves Roxy Music.
  • Her first memory was of "being pushed in a buggy wearing a plastic raincoat that had a little window in it for my face. We were going to pick up my brother at school. It was raining and I remember thinking 'Aha, it is raining but I am warm and dry'. So my first memory is a feeling of smugness. It was the basis for the rest of my life.'
  • Those who she likes include: Mark E Smith, Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Robbie and Marky Ex Take That and Damon Albarn.
  • she can 'do a brilliant mash'. She'd be hard pushed to convert me though, I hate mash.
  • She got all A's in her A levels. But hates Maths and Physics.
  • Is allegedly the 'miserable one' in Kenickie. An introspective 'loud dancing wallflower in a Coke Can', possibly...
  • She did the cool drawing on the cover of the Skillex ep.

  • she was on NMTB, not once, but TWICE. Ooooohhhhh.
  • She expresses a liking for Rimmel Black Cherries lipstick, which is just one of those colours that makes pale freckly types like me look *yucky*. Dammit. Some of her other favourite colours include... pink!! Which is a great colour.
  • She loves the Fonz, from tv's Happy Days
  • Lauren is seemingly the majority's favourite member of Kenickie, despite her changing hairstylee thing.
  • Her favourite author is Hunter S. Thompson
