Band Of The Week – Skeleton Bob

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 5:07 am

I don’t know much about these guys but Skeleton Bob have a pretty cool sound, especially Someone Else’s Song, a pretty country sounding tune from a Scottish band.

(One Man) Band Of The Week – Andre Duracell

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 2:17 am

Cheers to Mr Neilson for the tip off about this guy – a seriously good find! He’s called Andre Duracell and he plays drums. He’s a one man band but not in the conventional sense – he uses a full drum kit to trigger audio samples/loops and the sound that he creates – ALL ON HIS OWN – is almost impossible to believe. He’s playing in Edinburgh on the 25th of May so I’m hoping to see him then.

Band Of The Week – Benni Hemm Hemm

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 3:51 am

I’m not going to lie – this isn’t my normal listening choice… it’s just that I can’t get “Veidiljod” out of my head! The best I can do to describe Benni Hemm Hemm is to say that they are like nothing like Sigur Rós playing Ennio Morricone covers with Liam Finn on vocals (because that would just be too weird!).

Band Of The Week – Dan Mangan

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 3:53 am

Dan Mangan has a nice folky sound and “Robots” is the only song that you need to listen to today. I promise you you’ll be walking round singing the refrain for the rest of the day! All together now… “Robots need love too, they want to be loved by you”.

Happy Monday everyone!
