Event information
Brighton's favourite indie folk band, LAISH, have had a busy time of late. Headlining tours of the UK and Germany and supporting the likes of Grizzly Bear, Peggy Sue and The Leisure Society, they are also playing this year's End of the Road Festival.
The band release their follow up album, 'Obituaries', with a new and invigorated line up on March 25th and will be setting off on a tour of the UK in April.
Danny Green writes and sings the songs with a delicate grit, while the band arrange and play with passion and poise. Lyrically these songs are honest – brutal even, and yet full of humour, distilling all from the joyful pleasures of life through to the slow demise of relationships and indeed humanity. Their brief is wide and vague but those who have seen Laish live in the flesh come away exhilarated; sweatier and with an uplifted feeling.
Green’s voice is like no other, from a deep and warm brogue to a soaring falsetto. Frayed around the edges but rich in emotion. The Laish band features the finest Emma Gatrill and Martha Rose who provide the angelic voices and organic instrumentation of violin, clarinet and accordion; and Patrick Lawrence and Dan Harding lay down a solid rhythm foundation of bass and drums.
Support comes from LAISH's own Emma Gatrill who plays the harp and sings beautifully and Martha Rose who plays the guitar and ukulele and sings beautifully.
A joyous evening. You really must...
