Turbo Fruits

So I've been listening a bit this week to the awesome Wub-Fur radio and stumbled across this great band that's called 'Turbo Fruits'.

A quick look see on the interwebs led me to the fact that the main dude, Jonas Stein, used to be in the late & great 'Be Your Own Pet'.
These guys already have a couple of albums out and a bundle off EP's and singles in which they deal a hefty dose of Psychedelic Garage Rock and other goodness.
A new album named 'Butter' is due out soon and I'm very much looking forward to it.
In the meantime you can have a look at a couple of their videos here. Seems like the knack for making silly & idiotic videos have stayed with Jonas since his days in BYOP.

This video induced a petit mal on my behalf.



You can grab a few song as a free download on their bandcamp page.

Metric - Speed The Collapse

Montreal's Metric are about to release their new album 'Synthetica' very soon and here a small taster from it.

A second single on their soundcloud page called 'Speed of Collapse' appears after they posted 'Youth Without Youth' a couple of weeks ago.

Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt

Jake Bugg, a young lad from Nottingham, is something you should pay close attention to in the following months.

He's working on his debut album, which should come out on October 2012, and he reminds a lot of Lee Mavers from The La's.
The fact is that Mr. Bugg is so young that he was born a few good years after that band disbanded.

Oh, well. No matter, have a listen to this



You can download it from iTunes and also get a free song through his facebook page.

Keytar Woman Is The New Sexy

Some of you may know Amanda Palmer as the voice of the famed cabaret-rock duo The Dresden Dolls, you may also know her as the wife of the writer Neil Gaiman, but as it happens, she is also an avid twitter operator with quite a following.

So in case you're not following her twitter page and didn't see this video she posted, I thought I should share the joy with you.

It's all about a new and developing art form that combines pole dancing and music making.
Enjoy

The Afghan Whigs - See And Don't See

As you may know The Afghan Whigs have recently announced a reunion tour and pretty excited 'cos I'm about to catch one of those shows next month.

On the tidal wave of this tour they have decided to release a new(ish) song, the first recording in five years as they mentioned in their website (though I can't really recall any Afghan activity round 2007).

It's actually a cover version of an early 70's song by southern soul singer Marie "Queenie" Lyons called "See And Don't See".

You can download it right here (by entering your email).

Gulp - Game Love

Only a few days ago I wrote here about the new solo project from the Super Furry Animals keyboard player, Cian Ciaran, and now we have some more new stuff from the merry ol' Welsh psych masters.

SFA's bassist Guto Pryce and vocalist Lindsay Leven, known under the moniker of Gulp, have released their first single "Game Love" along with some help on the drums and mixing from their furry friends.

What can I say, this band is just the gift that keeps giving.

Deep Sea Diver

 Jessica Dobson is a talented woman. Not only she is part of the current Shins lineup, she also played with Beck and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.


Jessica Dobson

Albeit all the moonlighting in these other projects Deep Sea Diver is where she finds her main creative outlet.
They have their debut album out now and here's a nice sample from it.




If you liked this song here you can download it for free right here, even furthermore you can listen to the whole album (and purchase it) right here.

Here's them in a live session with a couple of more songs

Pulp Live on Coachella 2012

I didn't get to visit the Coachella festival this your (or any other year for that matter) but I did follow it closely through it's fantastic live video feed on youtube.

One of the most definite highlights for me were Pulp, preforming on their reunion tour and doing the really best of their magnificent repertuar.
It was also a chance to see Jarvis Cocker in action with his riveting stage presence.

Unlike other outstanding performers like Jagger or Iggy Pop which relay on their physical abilities, Cocker's forte is in his verbal capabilities and the way he makes the whole show a complete and continuous narrative.

Here is the whole set, it's worth your while.
(You can skip about six minutes ahead until the show actually starts)

Gaz Coombes - Hot Fruit (Video)

Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about the upcoming solo release from Gaz Coombes, the lead singer of Supergrass and The Hot Rats?

No? well you should have paid attention, cos now he's back with an official new video for his current single 'Hot Fruit'.

His solo debut 'Here Come The Bombs' should hit the stores in a few weeks and this song sure gets my music antennas tingling.
