Fresh from carving up the summer festival circuit (Big Day Out, Woodford, Sunset Sounds, Peats Ridge), Brisbane based Laneous & The Family Yah have just announced the release of their brand new ‘Scissors’ EP and its accompanying east coast tour dates.
Laneous and the Family Yah had an incredible 2010 including highlights such as their single ‘It Only Takes’ being added to full rotation on triple j, the album ‘Found Things’ was marked as a feature album on 3RRR, 3PBS, 4ZZZ and 2SER and was also the most played album on 4ZZZ two weeks running and Brag Magazine’s ‘Indie Album Of the Week’. In 2011 they're hitting the road in support of their new material and as usual, their stage show will feature a mish-mash of strings, samplers, pounding drums, rolling bass and playful lyrics.
Diving from Soul + Neo Soul into avant-garde and oriental ballad, ‘Scissors’ explores ‘Found Things’ more melodic and soulful moments. As such, so will it’s accompanying tour. Joined by the Birdfire Choir, catch Laneous & The Family Yah performing their more soulful tunes and similarly styled re-arrangements of some of their other tracks.
Joining Laneous and the Family Yah on all dates will be Thundamentals MC Tuka, whose debut solo album 'Will Rap For Tuka' released late 2010 was met with rapturous support for its deep lyrics, smooth flows and diverse production that nods towards Reggae and Future-Beats.
Do not miss this incredible pairing of world-class local talent across the east coast.
“Take Regurgitator at their prime, mixed with the fuzz-jams of Bumblebeez and the funk jams of bluejuice topped with a Mr Bungle chaser, and you’re still not even close to the Molotov cocktail that is Found Things.”
4.5 / 5 stars – Indie Album Of The Week, The Brag
“The insanity here conjures up thoughts of Mike Patton remakling ‘The White Album’. Yes, its that good.”
Scene Magazine
“Found Things will become an essential summer soundtrack, accompanying many road trips, drug trips, skinny dips and lazy kips”
