  2. Fao: Laeto fans

    If you will allow me to quash this rumour. Laeto have not split up. Laeto are on the brink of finishing their 3rd album. Laeto will be playing some more shows in the future.

    It is true that two of us now live in the south of England, however, this will not stop laeto, just slow her down.

    Incidentally, laeto will be 10 this year...

    For those of you brave enough to venture out of Aberdeen for the evening the aforementioned bands are playing Sunday 26th Feb at the Westport Bar in Dundee.

    4 for lots of fun.

    Of course, if you didn't already know, Laeto are playing the Moorings soon. March I believe. On a Saturday no less. You should probably go to that. No doubt Fudge will do their level best to keep you informed about that one.

  6. Spyamp and Uncle Fritz - The Verdict

    in Music Discussion

    Some Dundee music for you.

    I got the Spyamp album today and the Uncle Fritz offering at the weekend. Laeto (my band) have played with Spyamp almost too many times to remember and twice with Uncle Fritz but this is the first time I have had a chance to hear the recorded material. Both albums are excellent. Truly.

    Spyamp GTi - Kind of makes me think of what it would be like if Fugazi played songs by The Police. They have riffs that instantly grab you backed up by drums that you want to see played live. Spyamp are also practitioners of the tantric arts. This gives them the power to successfully navigate through many changes in tempo and time signature. Dayyyyyyyyyyy-O.

    Uncle Fritz Nine Songs - One man with a guitar (the aforementioned Fritz) playing the kind of things that you might expect such a combination of human and instrument to produce. Thankfully he stays well clear of the territory laid out by the loose headed D.Gray. Fritz is interesting in his use of melody, structure, and lyrical content. What I am trying to say is as far as solo performers with guitars go, David Gray = Bad, Uncle Fritz = Good.

    In summary, buy these albums.

    Both are on Pet Pirhana records and are out now.

    Robbie.

  8. LAETO / SPYAMP / UNCLE FRITZ - Saturday, Edinburgh

    I just re-read that' date=' it does come across a bit strong! Sorry. Yeah for all i know they have come on leaps and bounds since then..but i still think they were bad.[/quote']

    If you thought we were bad then I imagine you will think we are even worse now. This is because I thought we were great then and even better now! Was it the white trousers and blue t-shirts combo that put you off? Yeah, that was bad(ass). Or perhaps you hated the shit(hot) music? Who knows. There is always the problem of supports when you go and see a headline act, especially when they are not to your liking.

    I must say I am looking foward to the lemontree show tomorrow. it has been 5 years since our last outing there!!! Good times.

  11. New laeto album out TODAY!

    The album should be on more general release in a couple of weeks through plastichead. They were hit by the storms in London last week and lost their roof!

    The cd is in HMV because the label dude works for them and in an effort to make sure it was at least out somewhere all the HMVs in Scotland have it.

    I wouldn't buy it from HMV either.......
