Check it out folks! Pete Lawrie, of Wales (you know, that place in the UK where they speak all funny), is on a tear at the moment. He’s set to play (deep breath) Glastonbury, Hop Farm, Wakestock, Belladrum, and Faenol festivals. That’s the British equivalent of playing at SXSW, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Sasquatch!

In his words:

“The last few years have been without doubt the most amazing, eye-opening, terrifying, hilarious, devastating and glorious times in my life. Screaming neighbours,evictions, near-death experiences, bedroom-studios, rising damp, drummers living in toilets, broken hearts, broken arms, muggings, many foreign shores, lost luggage, lost friends, fifteen flats, new love, old love, panic attacks, four-day benders, festivals, headaches, good times, bad times, sore throats and music. Always music.

I have some photos and a few tired anecdotes to pull from the rubble, but more importantly I have some songs and a few of my best friends still standing. We form a band of sorts. There is no continuos theme, or grand concept to my writing. At least not one I planned for. Whether its writing songs on stringed instruments and bellowing into a microphone with my best friends, or cutting and pasting old records into a laptop in the corner of a bedroom/ tourbus somewhere, its all music and I am endlessly grateful to be spending almost all of my time consuming or creating it. There is nothing I love more and no genre I cant find some joy in. Music was my first love…”

We’re proud to offer you a new remix of his single, All That We Keep by Mark Brydon of Moloko fame.  (In a poor British accent) It’s a bloody great remix from a bloke that knows how to make some brilliant music.  Ok, that was a bit forced, but still, you get the point.  Pete Lawrie is massively talented.  Download the track below for free and check out his music videos as well.  Cheers!
