Belfast’s Lafaro confirm September & October UK tour
Polar opposite to the delicate poise of the influential jazz bassist Scott LaFaro from which this Belfast quartet takes their name, LaFaro are a wrecking ball of a band. Their rhythmic post-hardcore is designed to pulverize dance floors and leave no bottle of beer undrunk – this is music distilled to its fundamental elements – ‘We hark back to time when rock music was still fun’ states lead rabble-rouser Johnny Black ominously.
The band’s second single from their upcoming album “Easy Meat entitled “Meat Wagon” will be released on Monday 12th September on 7” & Digital Download to co-inside with their upcoming headline tour:
