Strange Idols, whose excellent new single It's No Fun is out now, were in session on Marc Riley's Radio Six Programme last night. Don't worry if you missed it as you can stream it here. You can stream and/or order the single from the bands My Space page. It's also available in digital format here. I haven't reviewed it yet but suffice to say it's excellent C86 inspired jangle pop.
The video for the single is below and there are a number of videos from a live performance from July this year on You Tube.
I caught Operahouse supporting The Wombats at last Friday's Wolfgang Bopp night and mighty fine I thought they were too. No homepage as of yet so head to their My Space page to stream some pretty good tunes. Wrecking Ball is my favourite. The sound is reminiscent of what is happening in London these days but the band have a touch of class about them.
Wild Geese have recently released the One Horse Town EP by Swedish singer/songwriter Erik Mattsson. The EP is available as a free download and features five songs. I found it surprising that under his influences there is no mention of Sonic Boom or Spacemen 3 because that's what Mattsson's music reminds me of albeit in a more gentler vein. It will also appeal to fans of Iron & Wine or Jose Gonzales.
You can stream most of them via Erik's My Space page.
Someone else after your listening attention is Gethin Pearson and The Scenery. They have an EP scheduled for release in January 2007 and you can get a taster for it by streaming their tracks via their My Space page. The music is a cross between folk & indie pop (as so much else is these days) but there is something here that should grab your attention.
The band have supported Audrey recently and they are playing The Hope and Anchor in Islington (London) on November 16th.
