(Lonnie Walker) Friday I headed over to Local 506 for the Great 8 showcase , which actually only showcased four of the bands. And since David Menconi always makes a point of including a diverse group in each Great 8, it was a fairly diverse -- though still pop-heavy -- show. Americana-rockers Lonnie Walker were playing when we got there, and I was immediately sorry we hadn't gotten there sooner. I've been hearing their name here and there, but so far hadn't checked them out. At least I [...]

Chapel Hill, NC I love it when a charming band has an equally superb sense of fashion. Lovely really is the key word here! "Can You Dig It?" Violet Vector And The Lovely Lovelies on MySpace Violet Vector And The Lovely Lovelies on The Hype Machine
Several months ago, probably around november 07, I found a song called "Can you dig it?" from a UK band with a very special and interesting name, Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies . I listened a lot to the song, and also found other brilliant songs from them via myspace and last.fm, like "Tame me, Tiger" . For some reason, I never told you about it. Kept it to myself, like a treasure. Well, I have kept them to myself too long now, and some of you might have discovered them [...]

"Don't know what you found, but I know who you are." Violet Vector & the Lovely Lovelies ~ Can You Dig It unfinished song from an upcoming EP by Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies photo: Veronica ~ Feel No Pain
I've listened to the song, "Can You Dig It", quite a few times today, it's a real sticker, which seems to be the general consensus around the web. Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies [according to them] are the sunbeam sugarplum sound you've been waiting for. If you ask them if they can dig it, they will tell you that they can. If you ask them if they they like to wear kneesocks, they will tell you that they do. With every handclap, you will feel a rainbow and unicorn jump out of [...]
