Bio
L.A.TC.H. is an alternative band formed in 1998, with Kevin Janosz (vocals, rhythm guitar), Patrick Angel (guitar), Robert Choe (bass) and Dan Liza (drums). With strong musical backgrounds from each band corner, L.A.T.C.H commits to making music that is universal, diverse and will stand the test of time.
With his heart-felt melodies and passionate lyrics, vocalist Kevin Janosz is able to show a variety of emotions whether screaming or whispering to the audience. His strong stage presence shows that he is truly devoted to performing to the masses.
Guitarist Patrick Angel is a key element in the chemistry of L.A.T.C.H, and along with Dan is an original founding member of the band. He is actively involved in songwriting, production, lyrics and arrangement of the band’s music. His broad range of tones and effects make up a sound he can call all his own.
Schooled in music theory with a background in jazz and rock music, bassist Robert Choe compliments the line up with the haunting sounds of his fretless bass. Rob’s influences stem from Christian to modern rock. The addition of Rob adds a more colorful and diverse angle to the band.
Drummer Dan Liza drives the backbeat of L.A.T.C.H. Rooted in classic and progressive rock, Dan brings forth a hard-hitting, solid groove. Dan's fluid and dynamic style are his signature, and a reflection of his personality.
