Olly Murs



Well! I heard his song Dance with Me Tonight through iTunes, thought I would give it a listen and since it's pretty high on the charts. His voice is refreshing. I started to look up other songs and found that he was runner-up on the 6th series of X-Factor and that's how he got all this attention. What won me over was seeing that he has done a song with Rizzle Kicks! Which I had done a review of them last summer. I fell in love with his music and I am sure you will all too! He has a lot of shows in the UK, but my fingers are crossed that he comes to the States and has a show in LA sometime.

Here is the song that won me over:

NOBUNNY



My next concert needs to be a NOBUNNY concert. The genre is garage/punk, and the musician Justin Champlin dresses up as Nobunny his on stage character. I think this concert would be so interesting and fun, weird and just really something to see. He has been performing since 2001, but I didn't hear of him until recently through NYLON youtube channel. My favorite song is Somewhere New. I unfortunately missed his 2011 tour where he played a show in Long Beach literally 10 minutes away from my place! So upset. I am going to keep a look out for his next tour in 2012.

Sigur Rós



You must listen to this Icelandic post-rock band. They have a ethereal sound. FUN FIND, the singer, and bowed guitarist Jónsi Pór Birgisson is also is known for his other works Jonsi. He is an amazing and talented artist. In January 2010, the band announced that will pause, and till then we are going to have to wait till 2012 for a tour and works on the next album.
"Sigur Rós" is Icelandic for "Vistory Rose". The band is named after Jónsi sister Sigurrós.

I am hoping they tour soon to America, although I would much rather go to them in Iceland and see a show there. I think that would be a much better musical experience.

WU LYF



WU LYF.. what a great find. Except I found this band a little too late! They have a show at the Troubadour November 22 with Crystal Antlers that is SOLD OUT. I'm sure it is going to be an insane one. I have seen Crystal Antlers before at the House of Blues and they definitely put an interesting show. Great vibes. I have also been to a couple shows at the Troubadour and that venue is perfect. ANYWAYS, wu lyf I am so upset I can't go to your show! Your style kind of reminds me of another recent band I discovered IS TROPICAL. (not in the sense of your music but the vibe I get). I am just going to keep wishing for there to miraculously be more tickets on sale... pretty please.

GOTYE


GOTYE ||  FACEBOOK ||  TWITTER ||  MYSPACE || VIMEO ||  SOUNDCLOUD

Recently I have heard so much talk about this artist that I had to do some investigating on my own! Turns out he is really great! I first heard of this artist through Ultragrrrl (Nylon Magazine Music Editor) and then a day later I hear Gotye song Somebody That I Used To Know (Feat. Kimbra) on the CW series 90210. I am falling in love with this new artist's work.
Check it out for yourself:
This video has over 158k views, for being only 4 months thats pretty good.

The Section Quartet



This is an amazing string quartet of four musicians. Instruments include two violens, viola, and a cello. I love classical music but I never seem to find the right time to play it, I always feel a bit odd playing classical in my car. The Section Quartet is the PERFECT classical sounding music. They have turned popular rock sounds into classical quartet pieces. Genius. They have recreated songs from Radiohead, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Christina Aguilera, The Strokes, Coldplay, The Clash, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (my favorite). I read somewhere that The Section Quartet has performed at the Coachella Valley Music Festival and Arts Festival in 2004 and 2006. I hope they play again in 2012, that would be such a treat!
