Larry and His Flask storming through Europe starting this week!
27-04-2014Larry and His Flask are very excited to be returning to Europe and the UK starting at the end of this week. Crossing through Germany, Belgium, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria. On a bunch of shows they'll be accompanied by their good friends of Crazy Arm. See the complete tourlist at the bottom of this message! Last year photographer Gregory Nolan joined the band for three nights - in Birmingham, London and Dublin. He hang out with the lads and shot some awesome photos, some of which are seen below. For more of his work hail over to his website.
For those yet unfamiliar with this outfit: Larry and His Flask are a high energy, five-piece carnival of a band that incorporate rock, folk, bluegrass, soul, brass band, punk and alt-country into their own unique sound. Some people call what they do “folk-punk”, others call it “a bluegrass traveling circus” and everyone who’s seen them live rightfully call Larry and His Flask “down right WILD”. But no matter what you call it, this is a band that has to be seen to be believed. The Flask hails from central Oregon, smack dab in the middle of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and is comprised of Jeshua Marshall on contra bass and baritone, Ian Cook on electric guitar and lead vocals, Andrew Carew on banjo, trombone and vocals, Dallin Bulkley on acoustic guitar and vocals, and Jamin Marshall on drums and vocals.
Since brothers Jeshua and Jamin Marshall founded the band in 2003 the band has gone through several lineup changes and fundamental changes to their sound, but they have always held true to their reputation for an foot-stomping, mind-blowingly great time. Two weeks ago the band got confirmed for the Lowlands Festival in August. There will be a short tour with this date and they'll be announced somewhere during this tour in May. Stay tuned for this!
