Those Elias and the Wizzkids tourdates I told you about earlier this month are finally starting to come together: http://www.myspace.com/eliasan dthewizzkids
You know the scene. Hanging out with your friends, passively watching a band –- who, the second they stop playing, will spend the rest of the night parked at their merch table, desperate to hock a CD, tee shirt, anything to put gas in their van and 7-11 foodstuffs in their belly. Maybe you liked the band. But you didn't feel like making the ten foot trek over to the table. Maybe you're like me and never remember to hit up an ATM on the way to the show, thus making said walk an exercise in futility. Or maybe the [...]
From around the sphere - by email, diligent seeking, pony express - myriad pleasure-inducing aural experiences aggregate in this little corner, begging to be bruited. I for one am thankful, and in the particular country in which I reside, that is especially appropriate tomorrow. "Shut up and post," booms my Blogospherial Overlord, and I am only too happy to comply. Just NowThe Manhattan Love

Desde que conocí la canción "The Dance" hace un par de meses aproximadamente he tenido en mente la idea de dedicarle un post, el caso es que por diferentes motivos lo he ido retrasando, así que creo que ya ha llegado el momento de hacerlo. Como en tantas otras ocasiones nos encontramos ante un grupo sueco, graban para el sello Hybris , por lo que comparten discográfica con grupos como Like Honey o El Perro del Mar. Lidera el grupo Elias Åkesson quien además de componer todas las canciones, canta, toca la guitarra y la [...]

Elias and the Wizzkids are the latest signings to Sweden's rather wonderful Hybris label, home of such luminaries as The Sweptaways, Andreas Mattsson, El Perro Del Mar and TIAC. The Wizzkids' new single, The Dance, is an absolute belter of a tune (I defy anyone to listen to it without tapping their feet throughout!), with the lyrics finding our man chronicling his feelings of unspecified restlessness one day. Just what is it that's missing from his life? Could it be coffee, could it be tea? Chocolate? Or is he just feeling lonely and in need of a friend? [...]

"The Dance" attempts to answer the musical question of what is better than chocolate, coffee, sex, and all the other pleasant vices you can come up with. The answer is no secret (as it's answered in the song title) but yes you guessed it - Dance!! I wrote about the upcoming record by Elias & The Whizz Kids here and just linked to a stream of the single, well I apologise for that but now the whole song is up and you can download the radio edit below. The [...]
