The world is still left ravashed after Michael Jackson fell in death’s cold grip, however his timeless music will undoubtedly continue to live on for generation to come. He may have had his reputation and even life taken away, but no one can touch his legacy. Honoring his legacy is also Erykah Badu, who before her “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” Friday night performance ralied up Jimmy’s house band The Roots back stage and played…
I have recently made a review of Liechtenstein’s album “Survival Strategies in a Modern World” (you can read the article HERE) and I decided that it was deserving of much more than just a review. So an interview with the girls was definitely the next step. Renée was so kind to answer all of the questions and I hope you’ll enjoy reading this band’s future endeavours, musical preferences and their personal qualities. They seem to…
Today my friends, is a sad day for music, because one of the biggest artists in the history of mankind has passed away, just when he had planned a comeback. Most, if not all of us danced in our home to one of his songs, we all looked up to him, and we all probably made fun of him when all the scandals were out. But today, we pay homage to the man who drove…
I think Headlights do not need any long introduction anymore, as they have been one of the most active members of the indie pop scene for 5 years now. I’m sure the ones who have been listening to their music are very excited to see this. If you think that you’re in a blur, however, just take the time to listen to “Cherry Tulips” or “Market Girl” on their MySpace or look for “Get Your…
They form a Swedish indie pop band, that has been making music for two years now (well, that we know of). Coming across a couple of their songs has been my musical highlight last month. Their sound is unique: breezy vocals and playful keyboards, which are both combined with the most eclectic guitar sounds. Those who are already familiar with their music are going to be extremely happy to know that the members of the…
It’s almost impossible for anyone reading this not to know who Susan Boyle, the ugly duckling who turned into a graceful swan, is. If not, get that bolder out of your cave entrance, and type in “Susan Boyle” on YouTube. You’ll be greeted by hundreds of videos, all summing around 200 MILLION views! It’s quite remarkable how such oases of talent get isolated and trapped from the world’s delight, so that they may unleash their…
OK, this is one weird ass music video, but weird has always kinda been a good word to characterize Royksopp’s work, be it visual or musical. Basically, it’s all about a hilarious soap opera between the talented Swede Robyn and a red tin headed robot. Robyn is left alone in her bead, watching MTV (Ouch!) and texting her robot lover, whose quite busy doing gardening and stuff. The video ends on a sad note, as…
Renée, Naemi and Elin, the three wonderful girls that make up the Swede power-pop trio Liechtenstein, just recently played their first show in the states, where (from what my sources tell me :D ) they simply brought the roof down. The band is still very obscure, but trust me, they’ll get very big in the coming months for sure (as big as you can get as an indie outfit). They’re debut album, Survival Strategies in…
