Streets of Laredo

Streets of Laredo is a family band, based around siblings Daniel, Dave, and Sarahjane Gibson, and the sense of chemistry and confidence that arises from such a creative environment can easily be heard in their music. The talented group of New Zealanders are primarily inspired by mid-20th century folk rock, taking stomp-along percussion and layering it with a variety of instrumentation as well as slightly fuzzy vocals that drive each track forward with their old fashioned charm and sharp lyrical focus. Their recent single 99.9% never stops to catch its breath throughout its sub-3 minute duration, an eighth note acoustic guitar groove and echoing brass keeping things lively and moving along.
