Opera And Picnics

What a bank holiday it’s been eh! Sleep until 12, bit of Xbox then just casually creating a soon be great music blog. It’s a crazy life we young boys lead. Anyway I thought I’d round off the day with 2 more cracking bands you might or might not have heard. First off are another band getting increasingly popular and not without deserves.

Operahouse are getting more media coverage from mainstream radio and even Johnathan Ross played them on Radio 2. Don’t let that fwoppy haired wiwwy (see what I did by making fun of the speech impediment?)put you off though. They've already toured with the great Tokyo Police Club and the 4 guys from North-London make damn good sounds and real dancing tunes at that. Apparently they’re no media-whoring titheads either and just want to make good music. Their track Born A Boy is another favourite of mine and a surefire indie club hit and listening to more of their tracks they’ve got some other jaunty little tunes as well. Gutted I missed these at 93 Feet East recently but I’m sure I’ll get to see them soon.

In the mean time have a listen to the track and make your own mind up.

Last up tonight are the incredibly named Haemostatic Picnic Races. Nice. Described as a weird mix of Fugazi, ATDI and Bloc Party they mix their mental guitar work with screamy/shouty vocals. The vocals don’t offend though and even though it may confuse the hell out of you sometimes it doesn’t make you want to switch off the music and cry. The songs are full of unmistakable effort and I’m sure they’re mental live and with lyrics such as Tin tin taught me how to disco you can’t not at least have a listen.

Enjoy your new impeccable taste in music for tonight and I’ll probably update again tomorrow even though I’m the only person ever going to read this.

Smooth…
