Simon Millar, the frontman for the ever increasingly brilliant Forget The Down, held his birthday bash in style with full band on hand to perform a set of his favourite covers just before Christmas.
As a previous Misty's Christmas eve party attender, I had forgotten the hidden, quirky delights of such a profound and joy-enhancing performance from a truly wacky octuple.
The news of an 80s band making a comeback album is something we have gotten very used to hearing over the past few yearsAdam Ant walked into my life a long time ago and promptly changed it. I probably would not be writing this otherwise, and tonight when I stumbled in on �Cartrouble� I remembered exactly why.
Those of us who were lovers of the original Gong were all overjoyed when an incarnation that included Daevid Allen, Didier Malherbe and Steve Hillage came together for the album �2032� last year and toured it this year.The comeback single by White Lies sounds bigger than most other bands around. It has to after the success of their debut album and the signs look promising for their follow-up 'Ritual'.Close your eys and this could be a procession sung by adepts of an ancient order, their piercing eyes cutting the gloom while the two note trumpet and eerie vocal chanting, amplified by the pounding drumbeat � slow and ponderous � builds a feeling of impending majesty.
The Warehouse Project, Manchester ended its festive celebrations with a massive New Year closing party featuring sets from Derrick Carter and Dubfire.Giving away a live album is certainly a good late christmas present to your fans and Yeasayer have done just that. Well, sort of as 'Live at Ancienne Belgique' can be downloaded for free or you can pay for it in a name your price scenario similar to what Radiohead did with 'In Rainbows'.Martin Solveig�s �Hello� is set to be one of the first big dance tunes of 2011. Shamefully overlooked back in June 2010, this MIA �Paper Planes� styled track is a huge tune, with very catchy vocals provided by Dragonette.
Mama Rosin play a wierd/wonderful blend of Cajun/Garage/Punk � music from the heart of the Geneva Delta.
They have been around for a couple of years and their first two released albums showed a great deal of potential; wonderfully danceable and raw as hell but with great heart and no shortage of soul.So, 2010. No hover-boards, robots or flying cars yet, but look a little closer, and I'll bet you find all that good stuff we're getting used to is evolving and improving rapidly. Mobile phones, computers, internet... and Lostprophets. January 18th 2010 brings the release of their 4th studio album, 'The Betrayed'.As Peter Astor of The Loft announces they're about to play "Model Village" somebody in the audience shouts "I've been waiting for you to play that for years!"Lovely to hear a band that embraces the classic forms without either being �retro� or lost in the past.
JT & The louds are a Chicagoan ensemble and their music harks back to the great Soul-Blues that came out of Chicago for years but it is fresh and lively with a real brio and a helluva lot of skill.
When the skies are as grey and lifeless as a wet Wednesday in January you need something light and fruity to shake you out of your gloom.
You either �get� the pounding and massive blast of a Pendulum track or you hide under the couch and hope it all passes over soon. This is typical Pendulum � huge beats, swirling keys and belted vocals. The tempo is furious and you get a mental image of a party at the heart of the biggestMiss Quincy is a raunchy and sassy young belter and she is probably right about your mama but I have to say that she really works for me!
