Myspace Magic

Sometimes those repeated friends requests esp from bands can be REALLY annoying. But every now and again you hit upon a gem and it makes it all worthwhile.

See I'm one of those peeps who cannot just deny friend requests from bands unless I go check them out first. I imagine myself as a female version of the late, great John peel just waiting to stumble on this generations version of The Buzzcocks...

Well ma chica's today was one of those days but instead of just one band...me gots 4.
First off Original Cast - All rock n roll swagger and heaps of testosterone...yummy! And they have banging tunes to back it up. This is what Hard Fi wish they sounded like. I am def off to see them at the Hope and Anchor in Londinium on the 1st and if you had sense you'd be going too.

Next up Vinny Vinny these boys hold a place close to my heart...their bringing back the sixties sound and for anyone that knows me a bit of soul and psychadelia really hits my spot. They are loose, funky and truly like nothing else around at the moment. Like they say they sound like 'Mick Jagger getting blown by Aretha Franklin whilst being filmed by Al Green' - I couldn't agree more.

Now for something completely different...

I have to admit these guys got the click through because I used to play in a park in Reading when I was a kid called Prospect Park. Its kinda a BRMC meets Sterephonics sprinkled with a lot more energy. You need to listen to Isolation which I think is gonna be my fav summer track.

Lastly, Tankus the Henge. Now their name is ace - u have to message them to get the full story of why they chose it - believe me its worth it. Now these are the only band on this posting that I've seen live so far and boy was it an experience. It was at the Turtle in Camden about a month back. The first four songs could of been by four totally different bands. When the tuba came out I knew that I was in for a treat.They've got a fabulously eccentric singer who's a real showman.

Now go check them all out!

peace, love and ecstasy,
