Warmth for winter


I went to see the lovely Tap Tap play on Monday which was a treat. Even better was the evening when I saw Air Waves supporting. The Brooklyn band consists of Nicole Schneit and supporting guests, who collectively play some softly crafted melodic treats of indie garage. She subtley grabbed everyone's attention in the venue filling our ears with lyrically blessed and inviting us in with a warmth of acoustic guitars and snare. I picked up their EP after the show, and would heartily recommend you buy a copy. The uplifting harmonica of 'Shine On' should get you going. They are playing more dates around the UK, Europe and the USA. Deet are on the myspace. Snug.

Mad times


Hola. Soz I ain't been posting anthing for a bit. Hopefully you'll accept this ace track by Not Squares as a peace offering. I'm addicted to it. Massive force, massive sound, simple and good. Just what you want in your life in pansy February where nothing good seems to happen. Not Squares are a tree peice from Dublin of the fair emerald isle. They're bobbing over the water to play a few gigs through Feb, so brave the winds and make sure you're there for a refreshing live show. Rumors are of a debut release in May. Thanks to Offset for the tip off. Love love.
