Live: Aiden Grimshaw Album Launch at Cargo London
Aiden Grimshaw’s brilliant debut album ‘Misty Eye’ is officially out today (click here for my verdict), so an album launch was held in Cargo London to celebrate.
I only managed to get in late to the venue but I was impressed by how well the songs carried themselves live.
Aiden’s awesome, I really hope this album does well and enough people realise how ridiculously talented this kid is!
New Music: Wet Nuns
Gritty, raw sounding rock that gets you hooked after a couple of minutes of listening. Single’s released on September 10thon limited edition 7” vinyl and as a digital download. Check out here.
New Music: Julien-K
I can’t really describe this- it’s pop, dance, indie, rock… Seems to touch on everything. Which is good. Check out here.
New Music: The Ukuleles
The name of this band gives it away really. They do some fun tracks/ covers with ukeleles. I tried to learn to play one of those once. Deceptively harder to master than you would think. Album’s out September 3rd. Check out here.
New Music: I Am Giant
It’s been a while since I’ve heard rock as good as this. They’ve already got love over in New Zealand and BBC’s Zane Lowe is a fan… Check out here.
New Music: Janice Graham Band
This Manchester act make a funky sound with a lot of attitude. It’s an interesting sound. Check out here.
My favourite Danish pop man is back…
… and he’s back with a big clubby track. Yes, it’s in Danish, as are all of Thomas Holm’s releases but who cares- I love it!
Madonna VS Scissor Sisters
Mix Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ with Scissor Sisters‘ breakout hit ‘Let’s Have A Kiki’ and you get yourself one mighty big fabulous stomper of a mix. Oh, and you can download it. Woo.
New Music: Daughn Gibson
I stumbled across this while on YouTube watching some Kindness videos on a random spur, and was simply blown away by it’s beautiful, haunting darkness. Check out here.
New Music: John Newman
Raw, urban bluesy voice peppered with pop. I can’t believe I just said ‘peppered’… Check out here.
New Music: Evokateur
One bad ass kid…
This has been out for a couple of months but I only got round to watching this now. It’s a Danny Brown track and the video is just nuts- love this kid!
New Music: Michel Teló
So this is an unusual story. I originally heard this on Swedish radio not long ago and was a bit struck by how random it was being playlisted, but after a bit of digging around it seems this Brazilian pop kid has managed to turn this song into a world wide hit. Doesn’t happen often! Check out here.
New Musi: Jhené Aiko
First Watch: Moya ‘Making Me Fall’
New Music: Oreo Jones
If this is Oreo Jones’ first single (which it is), then this kid has heaps of potential. Check out here.
New Music: SLOWOLF
I can’t explain to you how excited I got when I heard this track by Copenhagen native SLOWOLF- the song’s already topped the Danish iTunes Electronic Song Chart and chosen as Pick of the Week on Danish National Radio (equivalent to BBC Radio One). This is epic on so many levels. Check out here.
