The Annex is an establishment that's name is directly comparable to its layout. When you walk in the door, it's a sharp, semi-dark hallway that leads you to a second door, which upon opening it you see (when it's crowded, and probably also when it's not) a huddled mass of people more or less staring in your direction. There's a bar and a balcony type thing—but no stage. Until you turn around and see, in what could be the kitchen of a restaurant with the walls knocked out, a performance area with a band, and lights, etc. [...]
For a band with a single called Moving to New York, The Wombats sure took their sweet time getting here, skipping Manhattan in favor of multiple L.A. shows when they were here for SXSW in March. Maybe they were too...

DOWNLOAD: The Wombats - Moving to New York (MP3) DOWNLOAD: The Wombats - Backfire at the Disco (MP3) It's always tempting to talk about bands that are visiting our fair city from other countries - it must be a big deal if they made the trip all the way here - a rarity - possibly a chance to see something that's big somewhere else (and possibly good even!) in a small and intimate setting. Such is the case with two shows happening in NYC tonight (aug 15, [...]

The Wombats are a three-piece indie band from Liverpool. They comprise two native Liverpudlians and a Norwegian. They have already released an album, Girls, Boys and Marsupials.

The Wombats - Kill The Director (CSS Remix)

The Wombats - Kill The Director (CSS Remix)
This is no Bridget Jones! Avevo parlato degli Wombats in primavera , all'epoca del loro esordio sulla lunga distanza. Ora è uscito il loro nuovo singolo Kill The Director , che al grido di "this is no Bridget Jones" invoca la fine di una storiella sentimentale degna di una sit-com ( qui il video). Tra le varie versioni digitali e in vinile del singolo compare questo remix firmato dai CSS, mentre ne gira anche uno curato da Paul Hartnoll degli Orb, e su myspace ho trovato non male quello [...]

OK, Liverpool trio the Wombats aren't moving here but they are playing NYC, at last, after skipping us in favor of Los Angeles when they came over for SXSW earlier this year. When you have a song called Moving to...
I know it's been a long time coming, and a lot has gone on in the weeks since I last posted including holidays to Greece, moving servers for this blog, an apparently mind blowing Daft Punk set at the O2 Wireless festival, and now Glasto - that weekend of mud - is also coming [...]

Finally finished my exams on the 15th and a 72 hour binge has kept me from posting since then but what a few days it's been. Having been drinking all day we were off to see my favourite band of the last few months - The Wombats - and they certainly didn't disappoint. Caught the [...]

El nombre lo han tomado de un marsupial australiano). Son The Wombats , un trio de pop de guitarras formado en Liverpool por tres estudiantes de la LIPA, la escuela de arte fundada por Paul McCartney en su ciudad natal.

A few years ago I saw Broken Flowers with a friend and although I left the theater disappointed with the movie, the song playing during the closing credits left a lasting impression. We hung around until the end of the credits to get the artist and title of the song and I made a mental note to track it down. I must have filed that mental note pretty far back in the filing cabinet because it took me 2 years to find the song. But here it is. The Greenhornes and Holly Golightly - There Is [...]

Today, we bring you two rising bands from the thriving genres of art-rock, post-punk revival, or whatever you would like to call it. Actually, the specification "indie rock" may actually be the most agreeable specification, with both bands demonstrating distinct influences for a variety of genres, primarily early British punk and contemporary alternative. Though the term "art-rock" has been used the most often to describe this decade's contemporary movement featuring bands like The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, I believe this craze is so irresistible to many for clear nostalgic purposes. It all sounds familiar, yet somewhat original. It makes sense [...]

01. Ford And Fitzroy - " The Weatherman's Refrain " . It opens with an Explosions In The Sky -esque single-notes guitar riff then launches in with the lyric of the fortnight (" it was filled with B-flats and with F's "). If you'd do dig this at first, let it sink into it. It crawls into my head constantly (and I love those great bass runs). " And when, when he's feeling lonely, he remembers the [...]
