With The Hunger Games movie out this week, it makes sense that the soundtrack (pictured) precedes it by just a few days. We don't know who green lit Lenny Kravitz acting in the film, but be glad he was left off the soundtrack. Elsewhere in cross-media celebrity news, the not-quite American Idol Adam Lambert and reality-show star Diggy Simmons celebrate new releases this week as well. Esperanza Spalding hopes to follow up her Best New Artist success with Radio Music Society , Battles drop their [...]
The Good Natured performed an acoustic version for the Wilcox Sessions. (another great Web site filming brill live footage of bands playing impromptu, following in the great tradition of Black Cab Sessions , Bands in Transit and Manchester Screenwipe ). Watch the performance, filmed in the Wilcox kitchen, below. Click here to view the embedded video.
Have you heard this song by The Good Natured ? Its been in my head for a good couple of days now. Check out "Raindrops". The band are Sarah McIntosh (songwriter and front-woman), George (drums) and her brother Hamish McIntosh (bass) and were recently signed to Regal / Parlophone Records. For those looking for a "catchy Gothic twist on Electro-Pop", required listening is in their EP entitled 'Skeleton'. Here's the trio performing an acoustic version of "Lovers" for a Wilcox Session.
Indie Pop, Female Vocalists, Electro Pop, Gothic - The Good Natured add a twist of goth to pure simplistic electropop on their recently released EP "Skeleton." Their brand of catchy dark pop has earned them plenty of attention in recent months and they look to be a band to watch in 2012. The Good Natured [...]
The VPME During the last week a couple of artists gave away free downloads to celebrate Valentine's Day. VD is not something we celebrate, genuine affection is not a commodity that can be bought! We generally regard the whole affair as a huge kak fest and have no wish to join in this shadow festival of contrived emotion. One that reduces love to the price of a card and a box of chocolates whilst applying crass, psychological pressure on normally happy singletons to conform to the societal norm-" get in a couple [...]
Pop music is cool, but sometimes don't you just want to introduced some struggle to it? The dark, gothic twist of The Good Natured is just what it needs every now and then. "Raindrops" is a cold, crawling kind of tune perfect for some slow motion death scene in a black and white movie. So, if you're into that, here it is, free for download to you punks. Also check out "Lovers," from the band's Wilcox Sessions, below:
Words: Saam Das I'm not sure I believe in the Valentine's Day hoopla. Until the day someone brings me roses. And by that, I mean a tin of Roses chocolates. A plus side to the day is the generosity of bands and artists in giving away songs for free, as The Good Natured have. Their generosity is time-limited however so pick up the seeping melodrama of 'Raindrops' for free below. 'Raindrops' eschews some of [...]
Just like lots of other folks in the blog world, we get sent lots of material that is still at the demo stage. It's to be expected seeing as we tend to operate among the bottom layers of the underground music scene, so we expect a broad range of finishes to the work received. However, some is surprisingly polished and it just goes to show how much effort goes into new bands from the outset - something that's required to get noticed, particularly by record labels, if you want any chance of being signed in a very competitive environment, where [...]
![[MP3/LIVE] The Good Natured – "Video Voyeur" (+ recent LA shows)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4017571_lg.jpg)
just give me what i want, don't leave me hanging til the morning light ♫ The Good Natured - Video Voyeur Try to contain your jealous rage when you hear that I got to catch The Good Natured live this week... and last week. Yeah, pretty radical. And the fact that they absolutely smashed both shows doesn't hurt either. New stand-alone single "Video Voyeur" opened their set both times, kicking things off tight and right. An audio freight heading for partyville. The trio rocked hard, with Sarah [...]
It's a mighty good Monday (if you ignore the weather): ► At the Satellite, where Chasing Kings' residency roars into its fourth week, U.K. quartet the Chevin makes its L.A. debut. That's the video for the title track from the West Yorkshire lads' 2011 EP, "Champion," above. Tonight's bonus — you also gets sets from Nightmare & the Cat and the Californian . ► Koga, featuring the solo material of Evan Koga (formerly of the band Chief), debuts at the Bootleg Theater as part of the [...]
Sarah McIntosh could easily be lumped in with female-fronted electro-pop bands such as La Roux and Ladyhawke, but the sophisticated gothic sheen on pop melodies she offers with her band the Good Natured sets her apart. Slinking between Scandinavian-like bubblegum choruses to sensually dark undertones that echo Ladytron, McIntosh (along with her brother Hamish and bandmate George Hinton) writes pop that is flirty but she is far from a novice. At only 20 years old, she already has released a third EP titled "Skeleton," which also serves as the U.S. debut for the Good Natured and a nice [...]
This Friday lineup feels like party time ... ► Party-starting electro outfit Wallpaper ought to be mighty festive tonight when they headline the El Rey Theatre — the project fronted by Ricky Reed has moved up to Epic Records from indie Boardwalk, it was announced last week. Youngblood Hawke and Speakers open. That's Wallpaper's animated video for "F*cking Best Song Everrr," above. ► Speaking of parties, Kid Sister holds forth at the Avalon. Her "Kiss & Tell" EP came out in November/ ► Har Mar Superstar [...]
UK-based The Good Natured is bringing their Gothic-inspired electro pop ballads to LA for the first time this Friday at The Echo and Monday at Bardot for the weekly series "It's A School Night." The trio, led by 20-year-old starlet Sarah McIntosh, will make sure their performance doesn't go unnoticed while here on the west coast. They kicked off their first US tour this past Monday in NYC. The high energy group shook up the crowd at last year's SXSW with McIntosh singing in the audience, crawling [...]
British pop band The Good Natured began their 2012 with an exclusive US tour in only New York and California. On this mini tour, they used Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn as their second play station. We all know Popgun does it best with their incredible selection of booking the most upcoming talents, so it was only fitting that The Good Natured played at Glasslands in NYC. Before their performance on January 17th, the three eye catching members spoke to Earmilk and gave us a deeper look into their music. Take a look. [...]

Photos by G. Sarah McIntosh of The Good Natured Hot band alert! The UK electropop band The Good Natured visited New York's Mercury Lounge on January 15, 2012. I'd never heard any of their music until they took the stage and I liked every song I heard tonight in their 8 song set. Their music is upbeat and has a great groove. Lead singer Sarah McIntosh's voice reminded me of bits of Ladytron and LaRoux. The audience was loving the show as well, especially when Sarah McIntosh performed in [...]

'Video Voyeur' by the Good Natured has been remixed by No Ceremony , a mysterious artist (and producer?) from a town that seemed to be giving out mysterious acts like candy last year (Manchester). Now it's completely different from the original (that you can watch as a previous Video of the Moment ) and I'm not sure I like it. What's your opinion? Let us know in the comments after you've listened and downloaded it below for absolutely free. The Good Natured will support the Whip [...]
