“A five piece from Cork who take the anguish, angst and pain out of rock ‘n’ roll opting instead to just be really good. Beautiful, smart, and wealthier than most regular folk, FRED is the people’s band, making music for the people, by the super-people. Imagine getting a face massage, that’s what FRED’s music does, it massages your face but nothing else, for it is selective in its technique. It also takes you to the cinema and buys you Coke and a bag of minstrels” So says FRED.
Their third album, Go God Go, is being received with such critical mass it is being honed as one of the strongest Irish releases in years (‘Startingly good music’ – Hotpress, ‘Saviours of Pop’ – State). FRED is delighted to perform Go God Go in the Irish Examiner Spiegeltent with very special guests.
“….There’s no resisting this stuff unless you’re a tone-deaf, stone-hearted, know nothing…, Blissed out, loved-up and goddamn down and out funky, FRED we love you…” NME
