The Freeways' current setlist of garage psych pop emanates dreamy melodies and sweet harmonies laid over hypnotic, jangling riffs.
Melodies and lyrics often spring to life from a state of semi-consciousness. Songs arrive in dreams and live shows are an avenue to follow the music to new places.

Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
Hope your show went well.. I went, but I was a whole day late... what a loser! Thanks for the photos- I uploaded them on my profile and credited you. ; )
Hey kl , glad you like it, very much apprecate you listening ,your stuff is kl 2 ! we got a record up for sale on our myspace page check it out ! how did you make that video of yours what camera did you use etc.. ( the one with lots of sunshine ) ? :)
Itâs that time of the month and our site has four new tracks up for your listening enjoyment.
This monthâs box of delights include the swaggering groove of Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, the insanely catchy folk-pop of Antje Duvekot, the languid Great Lake Swimmers and, a little belatedly but better late than never, The Young Republic.
A particularly strong month, even if we do say so ourselves. Check them out, you won't regret it.
So sorry we didn't see you at The Middle East. I thought you were going to be at All Asia the next day. Next time. I really want to check out your live performance. U R an inspiration.
