NEW ALBUM 'TEAR IT OPEN' OUT NOW AT LRA SHOP - www.lerenoamps.com
Me, Myself, and I
Le Reno Amps was founded by Scott Maple and Al Nero. Since their formation in 2003 the band has built up a great live reputation based around taut melodies, close harmonies and sharp sardonic lyrics. Now with an expanded line up the band have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Sons and Daughters, Arab Strap, The Rakes, King Creosote, Brakes and The Stranglers.

Having once been described as 'the Everly Brothers teaming up with The Pixies, whilst Tom Waits and Weezer try and get a word in' (Vic Galloway, Radio 1), it's easy to see why Le Reno Amps music has such a broad appeal. Le Reno Amps can be bracketed as indie, some say power pop, others say alt-country, the important thing to remember is Le Reno Amps are not high brow; they are in fact the lowest brow. These three men and a little lady operate so far out of fashion they stand alone and shine with a majestic beauty.

  • [09:10:09] FLICK IT OPEN 10 / MARK LAMARR

    FLICK IT OPEN #10

    Lets call this one a meta-creation, art within art, LRA are blurring the boundaries like all true visionaries.

    Shot whilst on tour in the UK September 2009. Please let it be known that only brave trained entertainers like Le Reno Amps can participate in this style of action-packed fun and you, the public, should NOT under any circumstances attempt to recreate these scenes whilst driving your vehicles.

    Now enjoy the roadtrip...

    LRA MARK LAMARREDShare

    Howdoo folks,

    50's throwback Mark Lamarr did us the honour of playing OUTLAWS on his recent Radio 2 show. You, as our beloved fandom, will already know this song inside out but doesn't it just sound great with lots of radio compression on it. Yes it does. Thank you kindly Mr. Lamarr, please come back and do Buzzcocks again.

    LRA Outlaws is at aboot 1:06:00.

    Slick.
