Casiokids’ second single for Moshi Moshi is out today and both sides are great. Instrumental "Fot I Hose" has a big fat synth bass hook that is hard to get out of your head (and has a hilarious video), but I think I prefer the flip, "Verdens Storste Land," probably because it was the absolute highlight of their great CMJ show at Cake Shop.
The Norwegians are attacking SXSW with eight performances in four days, plus two shows in NYC beforehand. I’ll definitely be at the Bell House on March 16, get tickets now.
For a band with a name associated with the paparazzi there’s been little in the way of hype for London/Brighton four-piece Flashguns. The young band (they’ve not long finished their ‘A’ levels!) have been picked up by a few of the music blogs out there but have not yet been swallowed up by the music’s relentless PR machine.
Like a musical sponge the young band absorbed a wide variety of influences from The Killers to Pink Floyd via The Cars and Sigur Ros creating a gaunt, slanted indie pop that’s got more hooks than the cloakroom at a Peter Pan convention and is one of the few bands I’ve heard in twenty years that capture the pure essence of the early Smith and I think I’m already a fan.
