Who is April Lawton?
WM: I think you should explain that one. 63xc.com: 63xc updates very regularly, on the first of the month, every third month. A couple of times I’ve hit the site an hour or two early, before the content goes up. There’s always a ‘pardon our dust’ notice and a picture of a woman identified as April Lawton. Who is she? What does she have to do with fixed gear? WM: Nothing, really, it’s just a story that I like. At the turn of the 70s, Lawton formed a band called Ramatam with Mitch Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix’s drummer. By all accounts they weren’t much of a band, but people who saw them live agree with remarkable consistency that Lawton was a nonpareil, jawdroppingly good, the best guitarist they’d ever seen. So here was this young, very good looking chick — I use the term advisedly — cutting up all the male guitar heroes. She was on the scene for about a year, decided it wasn’t for her, and left to become a painter. Fell off the map, as far as I can tell. I keep telling journalist friends
