Here's a delightfully peppy tune to start your week off right. Lola Marsh is an Israeli duo we serendipitously discovered during SXSW, while simply ducking into the Swan Dive for a drink between must-see acts on our agenda. Her live energy immediately infected me with just the right verve to dance instead of rest, and made me remember to expect more such revelations throughout the week, or just maybe always around the corner.
VHS Collection - Sign
We've taken a long break from blogging so I have quite a backlog on my intending-to-post list. I've been listening to this track since November 2017 (that seems ages ago, yeah?) but now is a perfect time to share, since VHSC have just released their next new single ("One"). They're touring CA and the NE this summer. First ever full album dropping later this year! Anyhoooo, happy practically-weekend and I'm making a public promise to post at least weekly again going forward.
Upcoming Shows
Two Door Cinema Club - Standing on Ghosts
TDCC is 10 years old, well their first EP is, and they've just released it online for the first time. Consequently, I just heard "Standing On Ghosts" for the first time and, yep! It sounds like early TDCC ("Cigarettes in the Theatre" is also on this EP). What surprised me more than a little bit was learning the Irish boys were just 16 when this came out. So they were, like, 15 when they formed the band?? And were bang on this good??
