Belfast’s Lafaro hit The Garage, London – Wednesday 5th October
New album ‘Easy Meat’ released Monday 3rd October.
With the band’s upcoming album set to cause a storm in the UK, Belfast’s Lafaro will hit to road hard, popping into The Garage, London on Wednesday 5th October.
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.
