xilddx Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Played a gig last night and Mr DJ put this on while we were setting up. I went, sh*t! What's the f*** is this, baby?! He said Laid Blak, good aren't they! They certainly are! I bought the album today. Some lovely bass on this too, and, well it's all good. The lyrics are interesting too, not what you think they might be at the start. Also check out Bristol Love, another great number of theirs with an official video. EDIT: I just found the official video so I've replaced the previous fanboi one with it. I've not stopped listening to this album since I got it yesterday, it's really, REALLY GOOD!

The DJ was DJ Postscript who's the resident DJ for Cargo in London, and for Unstable Promotions who we played for last night at Proud Galleries Camden.

Flanker Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I downloaded 'Red' this morning. Nice track, maybe download the album. Anyone know what bass gear he's using...............I somehow doubt it's a Skjold through Genz Benz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I can find out what he uses but we share the same rehearsal room and last week I saw a Peavey TNT Bass combo in there!!!

Lovely bass tones on the album. He plays a lovely line on a ska track, really nice! In fact the whole production is great, clean and deep and very nice on the ears. I had the album on the headphones for about four hours last night and never got tired of it, no stupid maxed out mastering.

The one we use has a puke-worthy Behringer stack. Does the job for rehearsal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks. Just interested really. Lovely tone. Turning everything Treble related [b]Off [/b]and everything saying Bass [b]On[/b] I can get close but not quite.......... Quite good considering my HiFi gear.(Skjold /Glock/ Berg) Edit:On the You Tube video Looks like a standard P bass and Eden 410 cabs with large amp containing Valves.

thisnameistaken Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've been meaning to get their album, top stuff, thanks for reminding me. I've been working in an office with an old mate the last couple of weeks listening to his playlists and I've got a huge number of albums I need to buy as a result. Then I need to send The Skints some money to finish their next album, it's all go in pop music isn't it? And people say there's no good records any more. Pfft.

LLOYDWT Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Ed Sheeran used to cover [i]Red[/i] at his live shows, he still mixes it in at the end [i]You Need Me[/i]. Hopefully will help Laid Blak get some more exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
