- Local Scene: Pockets full of Sand -

I was clicking randomly on myspace earlier and fell on to these guys..
From what a friend told me, they are 4-piece band from athens..Their myspace about section doesn't say much about them, but their tracks do say a lot.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any videos of any of their gigs, so i'll just post
a link to their player..

.:Band of the Day:.

Yesterday I stumbled across this very interesting Swedish band..the result was a total dedication of 4 hours checking out their diverse sound and a download of their discography, and I have to admit that I was left quite impressed with what I heard.
Especially, Yukimi Nagano (their front-woman)..A singer of Japanese-Swedish descent
with a very mesmerising voice, that sort of urged me to check out her other astonishing collaborations with bands/artists such as 'Sleep Walker' (a Japanese jazz band based in Kyoto), which you can check out here and hip-hop artist/producer Ge-ology which you can check out here..
I can hardly restrain myself from posting most of their videos, so after quite a bit of thinking and pausing i'll contain myself to the following three choices..

Silvery - The Naked & The Dead

.:Band of the Day:.

Elysian Fields is a band founded in 1995, comprised by co-composers Jennifer Charles (vocals, instruments) and Oren Bloedow (guitar). Their music has been sometimes described as "noir rock", due to its sultry, dark and mysterious inflections, be it sonically or lyrically.
Jennifer Charles has been noted for her breathy/sensational voice, which is somewhat
of a trademark for 'Elysian Fields' and has also been distinctly met on other projects, such as 'Lovage'.
Below, my 2 favorites:

- Les Savy Fav-

In my purely arrogant opinion, one of the best bands i've ever had the pleasure
coming across and which exist out there..I could go on talking forever about how
great i think their music is, but i'd be wandering off the point.
Please..enjoy their greatness for yourselves!






Tango With Lions - Verba time

"..Tango with Lions were originally conceived by song-writer Kat in 2006, after the musical dressing of diaries, photos and book-reading influences and were officially formed during a summer-time jam in 2007, in a beach house.
Johnniethin's blues-folk guitar playing and harmonica style, met cellist Stavros' confident melodies and Ntana's delicate clarinet sound to complete what the upcoming album represents.
Since the recording sessions during 2009-2010 with Ottomo at Fab Liquid Studios, the band's line up has changed, with Yannos now playing guitars and Stefanos on the drums.
Tango with Lions are day-dreamers, hard-workers and music-lovers. .."
