There is not much information about this UK band on the internet. They released just one album in 2002 called "Painkiller", but it is really great and I think it deserves its place on the site, maybe under the Jazz-Rock section.

I'll quote what's on the cover of the CD:

Personel:
Mark Preston - guitar
Simon Pearson - drums
Diego Kovadloff - bass

Guy Baker - trumpet & flugelhorn

Jean Toussaint - soprano sax

Juanjo Mosalini - piano

Darren Morris - piano
Gareth Williams - piano

Recorded at Studio 99 by Mike Westergaard
Mixed by Simon Osborne
Mastered by Chris Blair at Abbey Road
Produced by Diego Kovaldoff

All tracks written by Diego Kovadloff and Mark Preston except "Blind Pew" and "Sharkness" written by Diego Kovaldoff only.

Some more info from the Web:

https://www.last.fm/music/LoMo/+wiki" rel="nofollow - https://www.last.fm/music/LoMo/+wiki

"Based in London, this band produce a sound reminiscent of Allan Holdsworth on speed. Simon Pearson drums a mad but body rocking beat. Kovadloff writes a mean and abstract bassline; complemented only by Mark Preston’s enflaming guitar touches. The mix of smooth bass, sharp drumming and occasionally ambient but tango-esque guitar lines create a rather oximoronic texture. The greatest texture known to man. This shall now be known as Lomo!"

The original incarnation thus seems to have split up in 2002, before Diego Kovadloff later gathered together some new musicians for the band. The EPs seem to have been released several years after some of the tracks on them were first recorded.

2. Present Climate (7:48)

3. Blind Pew (6:34)

Lol! Searching the Internet is about all I'm good for, so it's something I've kinda developed a knack for over the years.

Someone's got to put a biography together out of all that lot now though... Embarrassed

Edit: The band's most recent (& possibly current) line up seems to be:

- Diego Kovadloff / bass

- Dylan Howe / drums

- Nat Martin / guitar

- Carl Hudson / keys

That line up recorded live performances of three tracks from those earlier releases at Perry Vale Studios in Forest Hill, London quite recently by the looks of it:
