DEATH PANEL 
Punk / Folk / Pop 
Charles Latham wields an acid tongue and a poison pen, crafting
social 
criticism and brutal self-analysis into three and a half minute 
ramshackle pop songs. His songs are often exercises in duality: he 
finds humor in horror and horror in humor, the profane in beauty and 
beauty in the profane. In a live performance, his audience often 
laughs and smiles, but he rarely does. His lofi home recordings 
compliment the harsh honesty of his lyrics; his guitar buzzes and 
rings, and his snarling voice leaps, cracks and cries. Originally
from 
Washington, DC, Charles Latham began playing music professionally 
while living in Brighton, England as a student. The UK’s folk/punk or 
“antifolk” scene adopted him as one of their own: Latham was the only 
non British act to perform at the 2004 Winter Antifolk Fest in
London. 
It wasnt long until he was playing frequent gigs in Brighton and 
London. In 2005, Latham was voted “Best of Sussex” by a panel of 
judges at the Sussex Battle of the Bands, winning the grand prize. 
After returning to the States, Charles Latham completed his first
full 
length album, “Pretty Mouth” in the spring of 2006; the album is a 
collection of home recordings captured on an 8 track in various 
locations in the UK and at his home near DC. The album was self 
released, and has been met with enthusiastic acclaim in both the US 
and UK. Several songs from the album, including “Memorabilia” and “My 
Perfect Church”, have received frequent airplay on college radio; 
“Nice (to me)” is currently a featured song on NPR. “Boot Hill” is 
listed as one of the top “Songs of the Times” on Neil Young’s Living 
With War site. A non album track, “The Internet Sexual Predator 
Talking Blues”, a song about the scandal surrounding (ex) Congressman 
Mark Foley, was given 3.5 out of 5 stars by Pitchfork. Since
releasing 
“Pretty Mouth”, Latham has played frequent shows in the US, including 
many shows in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC, where he lived from 2005 
to 2007. In late 2006, Latham created Antifolk SouthEast, a loose 
collective of folk/punk musicians in the Raleigh/Durham area, and 
coproduced the Antifolk SouthEast Winter Extravaganza 2007, a showcase
of musicians in the collective, and the first festival of its kind in 
the area. The event was sold out. Latham has been a featured
performer 
in the Fortified Antifolk Festivals in New York City since 2007. 
Recently, Latham relocated to Philadelphia, PA. Before leaving North 
Carolina, he released a limited edition LP, “Beltline”. “Legend: The 
Best of Charles Latham”, a collection of songs from his various 
releases, is currently available as a digital album through iTunes 
worldwide. Latham continues to write, record and perform.

LAUREN ADAMS 
Folk / Pop Punk / Bluegrass 
Missionaries are murderers. All social reformers are dangerous. And 
people who are seeking service can be very, very violent, aggressive. 
They are. If you are in the grip of a good man, it is difficult to 
escape. You are imprisoned. And he is doing everything for your sake. 
And whatsoever he is doing, he is trying to find a way through you to 
his own heaven. You are just the eans. And this is the most immoral 
act in the world, to treat a man as a means. I call it the most 
immoral act, the greatest sin, to treat a man as a means. Every man
is 
an end in himself!” 
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh from “Until You Die”
