LaFaro http://www.myspace.com/lafaro - This band really shouldnt need any introduction but to those who haven't heard of them they're one of the best bands in Northern Ireland at the moment and with the album due to drop on Smalltown america records early in 2010 this is a show you do not want to miss!

Coming from Belfast Lafaro have been described as: "old school post hardcore sounds with just drums, guitars and big chunky distorted bass and Jonny Black mangling his vocals like he’s got a mouth full of drill bits, believe me, it’s a good thing. They sound like Big Black in some garage rock hybrid blended with the explosive sounds of Girls Against Boys, Jesus Lizard, Mclusky and the likes of the Cows and other am rep artists."

Their song 'Tupenny Nudger' was awarded the prestigious title of 'Best Northern Irish song of the past 5 years' in a poll conducted by Alternative Ulster magazine, the results of which were published in October 2008, beating the likes of Snow Patrol and Ash.

but who needs reviews, come along and see for yourself what the buzz is all about!
