fan death

ok not the cheeriest band name in the world, but hidden behind that is a funky indie disco group. take new young pony club mixed them in with the twelves, add a smattering of peaches and you'd get fan death. really love the video to single 'veronica's veil' which looks like it's straight out of the 70's.

boy crisis

new cool band alert ..... boy crisis are from brooklyn and are probably best described as a hipster electro/rock band. they've been likened to passion pit and are receiving as much blog-o-sphere love as them. this is defiantly a band to keep a eye on.

marina and the diamonds - new demo

marina and the diamonds has just sent me a new demo track called 'numb' she's been working on. it's got a very beautiful choral feel about it and totally plays to the kate bush sound that i've talked about before. not sure how this would fit with her other tracks 'i'm not a robot' and 'obsessions' but would be interesting to see. if you've not heard marina and the diamonds check out the recent ep here.

duran duran and calvin harris

just read in the metro that calvin harris is working with duran duran, on their new album. which is rather exciting news. simon le bon has said that it'll be all new material and not a re-hash of their previous work. exciting times.
