Hey Geronimo ‘Carbon Affair’

May 24, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Brisbane band Hey Geronimo’s first single received more attention than I think even the band themselves could have possibly hoped for. Thanks in no small part to an inspired video clip, ‘Why Don’t We Do Something?’ spread like wildfire over the internet, serving to really kickstart the band’s career. Well, they’re back with their second single, ‘Carbon Affair’, another riotous pop song which is instantly likable and very, very fun.

Listen To Five New The xx Songs

May 21, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I do love me some The xx, even if their lack of capitalization drives me crazy whenever I post about them. Rumours have been circulating about a new album from the band for a while now, and these rumours were recently confirmed by the band on Facebook, who posted a photo of themselves recording new material. It looks like they’ve been trialing some of these songs live, and thanks to the website ‘MTHR FNKR’ you can now listen to not one but five new The xx songs played live.

Django Django ‘Default’

May 21, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you know that I sometimes get obsessed with songs for no particular reason, only to forget about them a couple of weeks later. I’m currently in the blissful first phase of this process with Django Django’s song ’Default’, taken from their 2012 self-titled album. I may be a bit behind the hype curve with this track, which has been floating around online for ages, but I don’t really care: it’s a fantastically fun track and if you haven’t heard it yet then you’re in for a treat.

Release The Sunbird ‘Heart-Skinned, Down’

May 18, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Release The Sunbird is the solo project of Zach Rogue of the Californian band Rogue Wave. Which is a little strange, because you’d think that anyone who names their band after themselves can probably treat it as much like a solo gig as they want. Not that I’m complaining though, because although I’ve never really listened to Rogue Wave I’ve taken a real shine to Release The Sunbird lately, especially their recently released EP entitled ‘Imaginary Summer’. Check out my favourite song off the EP, ‘Heart-Skinned, Down’.

Patrick Wolf Australian Tour

May 17, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

The enigmatic, eccentric, at time slightly mad, always entertaining, and very charismatic Patrick Wolf has announced an “intimate acoustic tour” of Australia this September. I’m not to sure about the ‘intimate’ part however, because I’m pretty sure all of these venues are bigger than that which I saw him play last time he toured here. Oh well.
