Laurence and the Slab Boys are a musical collective formed in 2010 by Larry Reid, the lead guitarist, songwriter and producer in The Cinematics. They formed in Berlin after the breakup of The Cinematics and have variously featured ten members when performing live. The group have released one record to date, Lo-Fi Disgrace, which featured performances from other former-Cinematics, Ross Bonney and Adam Goemans. The record was favourably reviewed and received repeated airplay across the BBC radio platform, but to date there has been no follow-up, save for the Songs for B-Movies EP, which consisted of out-takes, live versions, remixes and a cover of Brilliant Disguise by Bruce Springsteen.
Trivia
Larry Reid has suggested in interviews that he is the nephew of Jim Reid and William Reid of fellow Scottish band, The Jesus and Mary Chain, but this is untrue.
