Walk The Moon ‘Anna Sun’

April 24, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

I discovered Walk The Moon last night by watching my favourite super-awkward late night host, Jimmy Fallon. I had never heard of them before, but the American band put in one hell of a performance on ‘Late Night’, and I was immediately hooked. Having since listened to some of their studio stuff I can safely say that it’s not quite as good as their live show, but it’s still well worth a listen.

June 20, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

I remember watching Justin Vernon play Jimmy Fallon a couple of weeks ago, waiting expectantly for one of the many killer tracks from Bon Iver’s latest album. Maybe a little ‘Towers’?

Album Review: The National ‘High Violet’

April 24, 2010 by Lachy 16 Comments

The National proclaimed ‘High Violet’ would be their happy pop record. It’s not. Many people thought that this record would be a massive disappointment after the huge success of ‘Boxer’. It’s not. What it is, is a masterpiece.

News: Late Night Music Goodness

February 15, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

There have been some pretty awesome bands appearing on late night American talk shows recently. Pick of the bunch was probably Yeasayer on Jimmy Fallon, performing the brilliant Ambling Alp, complete with rather inspiring uniforms (I love the drummer’s hat). Also awesome was The Swell Season on David Letterman, reappearing after he ran out of […]
