Django zebra zebra

Django zebra zebra Django Django are a sound for sore ears. They're like Beta Band with more gusto and more electronic stuff. Sadly unsigned at the moment, there's no releases currently, but they've just done a remix on a little Rough Trade album Papercuts which is out on the 14th. Love this track Default. They're playing a few dates around London, and a couple of dates outside. Be worth a look in. Django Django – Default /myspace

Dumb Head

Dumb Head I've only just discovered this track from 1964 by Sharades called 'Dumb Head'. I love it's dirty keys and sweet melody and I think it sounds quite new still. I was pretty shocked when I found out how old it was. I think it's a cover of the Ginny Arnell song, not too sure though. This is due to the fact that I can't find any information on the band, so if anyone knows anything about them, I'd love to hear from you. Anyway, bang this against your drums... Sharades - Dumb Head

Shute me

Shute me Heard this band The Shutes from the Isle of White. They're on this new wave of shoegaze, pshyc pop stuff that's about at the minute except it's abit more upbeat. Their sound is nice and fuzzy and pretty consistent from the few tracks I've heard on their myspace. No album yet, but looks like they're recording more stuff on the Isle. Nice to hippy out to when the sun shines. This song is the poppiest out of the bunch. The Shutes - Hits Like Mourning /myspace

Come Monday Night

Come Monday Night A mate put me onto God Help The Girl. I've only heard one song so far but I hope it will allude to more of it's kind. The band is a new project by Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch. He's curated half of Belle and Sebastian and vocalist Celia Garcia to create an album that plays like a musical narrative. This apparently is the soundtrack to a film that's going into production this year. It's pretty music and a pretty interesting project. Looking forward to what the future holds.

Little gem

Little gem I discovered Nite Jewel from reading a little music zine I found on a pub table. If you like Ariel Pink and Gary Wilson, you'll probably like this too. It sounds like they're all friendly on the LA scene. I like the lo-fi eighties influenced sounds though. Ramona Gonzalez leads the band with aid from Emily Jane, recording on 8-track tape decks and making some laid back sounds with a bit of edge. It makes me want to listen to it on on of those hazy hot summer nights in the city. Loving the amount of chicks hitting the scene [...]

Horribly good

Horribly good Just heard The Horrors new single which I can't stop listening to! It's so so good. Their sound has changed a bit from what I can remember of their stuff a couple of years ago. This song is an epic proggy blend of Joy Division and dare I say Echo And The Bunny Men. It spirals from bleak to uplifting. Truely amazing song. The video is cool too. I can't wait until the release of the new album 'Primary Colours' which is out on May 4. They're playing a few dates in and around, so be sure to get yourself [...]

Woodstock anyone?

Woodstock anyone? Just heard this little track from Radio Moscow and I thought it was fresh from '69. The psychodelic rockers from Iowa are releasing their second album 'Brain Cycles' on April 14. I'm going to grow my hair and a beard to await it's release. Rock! Radio Moscow - Broke Down /myspace

Paws for thought

Paws for thought The beautiful Grizzly Bear are birthing another cub on May 26 by the name of 'Veckatimest'. I found this little taster on the interweb. Shhh. If Daniel Rossen is still on a roll from his Department of Eagles form last year, this album is set to be something special indeed. If your lucky enough to live in the US, the Grizzlies are doing the rounds. Tour dates are on the myspace. Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks /myspace
