Laish

Description:

Laish is the given name for Daniel Green and company’s musical outlet. Green is generally making himself useful amongst the Willkommen Collective, Brighton and London's alternative folk scene. He plays drums and sings with the progressive folk behemoth, Sons of Noel and Adrian, as well as occasionally lending his talents to Laura Marling, Alessi's Ark, The Leisure Society, The Climbers, Shoreline, OCDC, Curly Hair, Redwood Red, Rowan Coupland and Kopek.

When he's not being useful, he's writing and recording honest and uplifting songs with a touch of deadpan humour that have an inventive fingerpicking style, a distinctive and honest vocal delivery and violins, melodica, bass and drums. Laish is the band that has sprung forth. Featuring Ben Gregory and Mike Miles from Curly Hair on rhythm section, violin by folk singer Jo Burke and vocals by Cathy Cardin from Sons of Noel and Adrian and Redwood Red.

Laish are embarking on a headline UK tour in April 2010.

In 2009 Laish played headline shows at The Pavilion Theatre (Brighton Festival), Out of the Trees Festival (Newcastle) as well as supporting Mumford and Sons, David Thomas Broughton, Sons of Noel and Adrian and The Leisure Society.

An album has been completed and it is being released on Willkommen Records in 2010.
