Ondarock Album of the Month and a very kind review! 7.5/10!

Positive review from Subba Cultcha and 8/10.
“This album is a brilliant new chapter in the band’s journey”

Positive review from The Sound of Confusion
“‘Obituaries’ is a step forward for the band; the arrangements are that touch more magical this time and the songs have a bit more of a glint in their eye. We’re guessing there are five very satisfied people in the Laish camp right now.”

Folk Radio says “Laish are one of the most exciting bands in Brighton”

Brighton Music Blog says. ”Laish are one of the finest bands around in Brighton”

So our new album officially drops soon and my life is becoming more hectic by the day what with an April tour and everything just around the corner.

Interview with The Rock Club. You can read it here.

Folkgeek reviewed the album here.

A couple of Newcastle-based magazines just reviewed our album. Have a look-see.

Also this podcast just appeared. Three chaps giving ratings to our song, Warm the Wind. Average score of 8/10. Nice

Would love for you to pre-order the album.

Sofar Sounds

laishmusic — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:43:39 +0000

We spent a lovely January evening in Brighton recording a live set for Sofar Sounds, the purveyors of fine house concerts. And then I did one myself in London about a week or so later. Here are the results.

What else? Tom Ravenscroft played our song, Obituaries. Thanks Tom!

We’ve also added a new London show at The Finsbury on 24th March and Meadowlands festival and End of the Road Festival. All good things no doubt. Plus we have an April tour. Check out the Gigs tab above…

Gallery Cafe

Thanks to those who came down on Friday to the Gallery Cafe. We had a blast. We packed the place with smiling faces and the whole night ran nice and smooth.

James Canty did a sterling job of overcoming a man cold to open up the night and make the entire room ache with laughter. Talented (young) bastard.

The same evening we got the message that Tom Ravenscroft played our song, Obituaries, on his BBC 6 Music show. Catch it while you can.

Thanks to Mike Watts for these photos and the video. I have a feeling we’ll see him again…

Here are two choice cuts.

What else? Well we have probably three rather exciting bits of news to share with you later in the week. It will have to wait.

Album pre-orders are coming in nicely. Got yours yet? Where better than bandcamp? It’s high quality and has bonus extras. http://laish.bandcamp.com/album/obituaries
