Spoke Promotions presents…

The LaFontaines

plus support SPRINGFALL

The LaFontaines are Kerr Okan (vocals), Darren McCaughey (guitar/keys), John Gerard (vocals/bass), Jamie Keenan (drums) and Iain Findlay (guitar) – a five-piece from Glasgow, Scotland.

The band take hip-hop infused punk and add indie rock to create a unique and refreshing sound. They are without doubt, one of the best live bands around today.

“They are very possibly the best live band in Scotland and superb forthcoming single All She Knows will bring them the wider audience they so richly deserve. There’s an album worth of anthems already in the set list” – Mickey McMonagle, Sunday Mail

“It shouldn’t work, but it does. The LaFontaines are the real deal” – Rachel Devine, The Sunday Times
Celebrating their biggest headline show to date at Glasgow’s Classic Grand earlier this year, the band have notched up a plethora of high profile shows and supported the likes of Example, Twin Atlantic, 3OH!3, The Blackout and many more. They have also managed to spread ‘Fontmania’ far and wide with over 105,000 global You Tube views across their 3 self released videos, 7, 600+ Facebook fans and 3,900+ Twitter followers.

The release of ‘All She Knows’ marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the band and comes off the back of an incredibly successful Summer with festival appearances across the UK including Belladrum, Crooked Ways, Redfest, Underground Festival and a headline appearance on the BBC Introducing Stage at T in the Park. Their fanbase also continues to grow rapidly with the boys having notched up over 105,000 views on You Tube their first 3 videos.

Produced by Matt O’ Grady (You Me At Six, Deaf Havana, Don Bronco), ‘All She Knows’ will be released on 27th October and can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon, 7Digital and all major digital retailers.
