It's better with Lasers
I wasn't sure I liked this at first... but now i'm not too sure what I didn't see in it.
I guess this is probably the signature tune of Copenhagen's Oh No Ono, repeating as it does the phrase "we are oh no ono". Although the CD sleeve displays some kind of classic rock pose... all big hair and Kings of Leon style (not the picture below btw), the music inside is altogether more eccentrically scandinavian. This single sounds to me like the Banana Splits playing the Star Wars cantina. Which can only be a good thing.
OH NO ONO - VICTIM OF THE MODERN AGE
A friend of mine from Leeds sent me his new band's CD, and despite the fact that i'm usually particularly hard to please when it comes to stuff my friends do, I think this is a rather fantastic song. For some reason the thought comes into my head that this should have been the UK's Eurovision entry this year. I'm sure it would have got more points than Scooch!
With the mention of Eurovision, don't start thinking that this is some kind of gay europop hellbeat. For The Resplendents bill themselves as a kind of lounge soul band. They also compare themselves to Dexy's, which sounds reasonable. Anyway check it out....
THE RESPLENDENTS - ANOTHER SPIN OF THE WHEEL
Upcoming gigs:
19 May 2007
Rio's Leeds Doors £4 TBC on FIRST
(Supporting Napoleon IIIrd)
24 June 2007
Uppingham Market Square on at 4pm
(Free all day festival)
Finally here's a little something for the weekend. What else can I say but...... TUUUNE!!! I virtually combusted last time I heard this in a club. Which was far too long ago come to think of it.
HARDFLOOR - HARDTRANCE ACPERIENCE
Fuck yeah. As a comment on discogs put it, "this is the sort of record that changes people's lives".
