"Funky" Lol Ross is probably not entirely healthy mentally, but that doesn't stop him coming up with an almost endless stream of songs about Leyton Orient.Band/artist history
"Funky" Lol Ross was born, like everyone else. He bought some cheap tapes and decided to record a song about Orient to test them out. The Leyton Orientear fanzine put that out on flexi-disc in 1989 to celebrate Orient's promotion. In 1990 they released a 7" single, 'Cooperman (Sooper) Cooperman', which was played on BBC Radio 1.
After Orient's recent promotion to League 1, Lol's 'It's Orient's Time' was released to a delighted audience on cd in August 2006.Have you performed in front of an audience?FACT: Lol was once thrown off stage after only 3 songs when playing with a previous band. The audience just didn't appreciate the music.
Your musical influences
Lol seems to be influenced mainly by Leyton Orient Football Club and old football songs.What equipment do you use?
Lol says: "A load of old instruments and anything I can hit."Anything else?
FACT: Leyton Orient scored more goals than any other Fourth Division team in '88/'89.All comments (1)
