FAQ: Question: "I found this album called "Follow" on iTunes
and some other
Digital Vendors, but it doesn't seem to be the same band as you guys.
What's up with that?"
Answer: There was a band in New York, who formed three years after us, released
one album, and then disappeared again when we notified them about the name
issue. They have nothing to do with us, and never had the right to use the
name either. If you don't recognize our music or our faces - it's not us,
OK?!

with great lyrics, man. Lush with nice production." Justin Meldal-Johnson
(Producer Macy Gray, Beck / Bassist Beck, Pink, Nine Inch Nails)
"It's refreshing to hear such a great band these days. "
Sincerely, Bob Gallo (producer BeeGees, James Brown, Elvis Costello)"

A Music Review:
The Lemmings – ...imperceptible
shift in the light
The
Lemmings are back with a beautifully crafted album of laid back,
sundowners-on-a-hot-afternoon songs. Stingesque in sound, an easy
listening, smooth on the ear collection that will become a firm
favourite. Abri van Straten (vox, nylon string guitar) has returned
from his sojourn overseas to join up with Ludwig Bouwer (bass),
Warren Bruckmann (drums) and Brian Hodge (keyboard) in delivering
enchanting stories."

July 2000: Until Zen
'2000 saw the release of the 10 track 'Until Zen' as a thanks to their
fans before leaving for Europe. The album, another self-produced project,
captures the band in its purest, non-complicated form. With a minimal of
studio tweaking, "Until Zen" was recorded in seven days and is a
perfect representation of The Lemmings as they sound in an intimate
setting. The year 2000 saw the release of "Until Zen", which
marked the first of the band's studio albums. It was also showcased in the
UK and Sweden on a 6 week tour.
The Lemmings recorded the single "Hollow People" which had its
video featured on national
television in South Africa as well as on the
Pepsi World Chart Show in SA. Produced by "The Alien".
Where all the trouble started...
In 1997, audience demand for a The Lemmings album grew so strong that the band had to
record an album.
They were approached by several record companies in
South Africa, but decided not to sign to a local label.
Instead, the
band produced a self-released concert CD "Live Space"
(released January 1998), which is still selling well.
