whirrband : Los Angeles. Now we’re talking. It takes a lot to get me out of the house to watch a band translate their music. I caught Whirr at the PTP Shoegaze Fest and they sounded like a thunder storm of guitars.

Détective

Mar 27, 2012, 4:36pm Filles Sourires

Détective is James Greer (from Guided By Voices), plus the super-sultry sounding Guylaine Vivarat, who plays in an LA band called Useless Keys and used to play in another one called Tennis System, and Rory Modica, who also plays in Useless Keys with Guylaine. They released an EP in February (here ), but Dommage! is not on that. It's a brand new song, the first one in French, but James emailed me that more is coming up (in May). This is an exclusive track for Filles Sourires! I hear a bit of Barbara Carlotti in it, a little [...]

Introducing: Tennis System

Dec 16, 2011, 10:39am barrygruff

It is hardly surprising that their sound draws huge comparisons to these and other modern contemporaries too. Not simply a homage to what has gone before, the foursome carefully add an injection of  their own personality [...]
