AT LAST! an update is here!! The delay, certainly not
due to a lack of activity takin' place at Unkut, more the fact that things have
been so hectic. Firstly, sincere thanks and props to all those who've turned out
in droves to support L.C. at live shows across the country this year, shit's been
hype to say the least. Stay tuned for future show dates over the coming months.
Also, many thanks to all who stocked up on the Unkut and L.C. merch, limited quantities
of the original L.C. tees and hoodies are still available from your local spot
but are fast disappearing. Be sure to beg, borrow, buy or steal a piece of this
classic merchandise if you're not already sportin' some! New styles and ranges
will be available soon.
