Hello everyone who reads this blog, my name is Jac and shall be joining forces with Steve in becoming conceited internet bloggers. Anyways, let's commence..

Danger Radio.
Whilst overseas the past couple of months I only really made it to one gig which is really disappointing. But luckily enough out of the 4 bands that played at the Ft Lauderdale leg of the Pac Tour, one really impressed me and they are known as Danger Radio. Hailing from Washington in the USA they play a style of music that I can only describe as dancing music, but it's not dance music.
They currently have their 'Punch Your Lights Out' EP in circulation, but honestly it sounds really average since the production is so uninspired it just makes the songs sound boring when they are indeed fantastic. With an album due mid this year I can only hope they get a decent producer to handle the project so it doesn't bore everyone to death. I can tell people will complain about the lead singers voice since it's very P!ATD-esque but for some reason I can handle it with the music it's with.


Danger Radio - Keep It Up



Cutting Pink With Knives.
From London, this band has a pretty different sound, mixing 80s disco electro sounds with loud fast 'rara' music, which I am not even going to try and put into a genre considering all the debating over what is what these days.
All I can say is that their album 'Populuxxe' has a really awesome sound with music that's loud fast angry and then dancy. I'm upping their song 'Laser Hannon', which is a pretty good example of what they sound like, even if it's a bit toned down compared to their other songs.

Chicka Chicka Yeah!

 

Why Have You Kept Me Waiting?

I hear you all ask...yes every single one of you that avidly read my music blog :)
So i guess I owe you all some fun music seeing as it took me this long to write again. Fair 'nuff too. Let's get into it shall we?

First up I have a song that not only excites me due to the fact it's just good, but also because it heralds the arrival of a new album from a great group. It's the new single from Zoot Woman! For those of you not aware of this British electronic pop group, then let your education begin here. This will be their third album and it will be released in a couple of months I think. Their first effort, Living In Magazines, was a groovy disc that mixed 80s disco with electronic pop. It included the great single It's Automatic which had MOS chillout compilers, and remixers alike, very excited.
The second album was self-titled and more ambient than it's predecessor. A little heavier on the electronic side, this album seemed to have greater longevity...for me at least. They released a moody single called Grey Day. Check it below and enjoy the new tune!

What else is going on? Well in rock stuff, Louis XIV are a UK band that are now about to release their second offering. I recall quite liking a single off their last album, but I never sought it out. So here's a taste of their new stuff. I like it mainly because the video clip is all the characters from The Dark Crystal singing along to their words. Still, it's a fun, fast song and there may be more fun on further listening of their new album.

Guilt By Association - Louis XIV

Oh and here's another fun one from Okyo, it's the first track off their online album.

Brother - Okyo

In other music news, I need a new MP3 player...but am still not wanting to buy an iPod. I do need something with quite a bit of gig though because I'm used to having 40 now and I fill that up. Any suggestions? I would like maybe Creative of iRiver, but these are all very expensive. I have seen 80gig iPods for less that 400 though, so I may have to conform! Not that I even have that to spend yet, but my brick of an iRiver is slowly fading away on the inside I feel. It's had a good run though.
