Listen to Kingfisha

Have you ever been to DNBBQ? It's awesome. I can't believe it took me so long to get my lazy ass there.

Besides the actual dnb there's a heavy dub/reggae presence happening, and thank god for it cause it meant discovering Kingfisha.

Think sexy songs. If you want to seduce, refer to these guys. Maybe don't go watch them though, in the terms of stage presence/ live, they still have a long way to go.

Ed, here's ten reasons which prove Australian music doesn’t suck (in no particular order)

1. The Saints – ha! Throwing this one back at cha…

2. The Presets – even if you don’t personally love their work, it’s undeniable that they have almost single handedly changed the landscape of Australian dance music.

3. Architecture in Helsinki – everything I’ve ever wanted in a pop band

4. My Disco – Perfect Perfection, need I say any more about these guys?

5. Machine Gun Fellatio/ Pinky Beecroft - Not just cause I saw him last week. “The Girl of My Dreams” says it all

6. The Avalanches – ‘Since I Left You’ is one of the best albums ever. EVER.

7. Spoonbill – Knowing him there may be some bias, but in any case, a ton of other people agree he’s amazing too.

8. Unkle Ho – A story and fantasy to float away to in every track he’s touched. Plus the fact he seems so incredibly dorky adds to the genius. I hope he doesn’t think I’m stalking him. Cause I am, but it would be awkward.

9. Pendulum – Drum and bass? From WA? Famous? There’s a reason why.

10. Gotye – See past the mainstream pop and you get an amazing voice, an amazing drummer and work that’s totally unique.


And that’s leaving off all the stuff you wouldn’t even like….Horrorshow…Rumpunch…Deepchild…The Herd…Made in Japan…

What put me in a good mood this morning

Ahhh.....

P.s. Before you get disappointed, this isn't an actual video, just music.

Listen to Day of the Meerkat

I saw Day of The Meerkat play at that warehouse party a few weeks back and were awesome live. This clip, along with their songs on myspace don't compare at all to the energy they bring in person.

They're are a local Sydney band who you can probably see without lots of dosh, so if you have the chance you must go see them!

Listen to Metronomy

Metronomy's music makes me happy. Even the first ten seconds!

Listening to these guys make me remember how much I love music and how exciting it is finding new things.

Think Crystal Castles crossed with ....? Let's go with Crystal Castles with a big fat injection of pop, rock and maybe a little soul.

Also check out Heartbreaker.

BAM!

A Gaye Science Fiction Adventure

Popolice (aka Marc) will be playing in Sydney tomorrow. I know it's late notice, and the venue looks kinda dodge, as does the poster...but Marc's fuzz rock always mades me feel nice and fuzzy inside. So get out your spock ears and head down to the Spanish 1/4, 8pm

Empire of the Sun- Ouch!

If you have a chance this week, check out the reviews in Brag and Drum Media in regards to their new album- OUCH! The one in Brag is scathing.

It can't possibly that bad can it? After all, Walking on a Dream is freakin awesome! They have another two songs up on their myspace...and they really aren't so bad....at all. Was the bar too high?
