Have you ever fantasised about befriending someone famous just so you can forget your sad, humdrum life?
The new single from the Fades drops on May 17th 2024 via Bark Like a Dog Records and is a modern, slightly tongue in cheek lament detailing lead singer and guitarist Dave Lightfoot’s recent troubles in life.
After a midlife breakup, Dave found himself slowly losing faith in life, questioning where and who he should turn to for solace and meaning.
Rumour had it that Keanu Reeves was filming around the corner from the Fades’ rehearsal studio and that was enough to set off Dave’s imagination….
Daydreaming of bumping into Keanu on the street, going for a pint and getting him in the studio to jam with the band, leading to a lifelong friendship.
Sometimes you just need a friend and Dave could really do with one…..
Here’s hoping his dreams come true
Looking for Keanu is a 90’s inspired slice of slacker indie rock with the Fades at their most reflective and self-effacing.
