Freak Valley 2016: Lé Betre Added to Lineup
Swedish heavy blues outfit Lé Betre have a full-length, 2014’s Melas, and a 2015 STB Records split with King Buffalo (review here) under their collective belt, but the prevailing opinion by all I’ve heard who’ve encountered them one way or another has been positive. I’ll admit to having missed the boat on the debut, but the split certainly caught my attention, and they have a quiet kind of buzz heading into the New Year that seems to find them looking to break out in a bigger way. That’ll include, as we see below, an appearance at the now-sold-out Freak Valley 2016 in Netphen, Germany, where they’ll join the ranks of Dead Meadow, Baby Woodrose, Rotor and Farflung, among others.
I’ll be interested to see how many heads they turn and whether the appearance is part of larger tour plans — perhaps for a follow-up LP — or a one-off, and just where they wind up by the end of next year as opposed to where they’ll have started it. Freak Valley 2016 posted the following:
*** Hey Freaks – we are so happy that Swedish bluesy hardrockers LÉ BETRE [STB Records] will play Freak Valley Festival 2016!!
Intense blues based melody clouds the air as the tried and true vocalist scorches the microphone with a crackling bluster of infectious fury. As meaty as it is exquisite, the riffs ooze across the speakers like bacon grease spatters a master chefs apron while the aroma enlightens the hungry patrons senses. Sounding somewhat as if Bruce Springsteen grew a bigger set of balls and smoked some weed with Willie Nelson, Lé Betre capture the essence of shear rock and roll, while maintaining the stoney haze of retro blues.
