Band Of The Week – My Terrible Friend

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 4:29 am

Nataly Dawn from PomplamooseMusic‘s latest collaboration is a band/duo with Lauren O’Connell going by the name of My Terrible Friend. PompalmooseMusic mostly do awesomly unusual cover songs (like Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) by Beyonce) and My Terrible Friend can do covers too (Holy Roller Novocaine by Kings of Leon) but it’s one of their new original tunes that I really love; The Daylight Here is such a nice tune!

Band Of The Week – Mumford & Sons

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 3:17 am

I know that I’ve used Mumford & Sons before but their T in the Park performance of The Cave is just too awesome to ignore. Similarly I’ve used Frightened Rabbit a ton of times before but how could I not mention The Loneliness & The Scream (starts at 4:45). Stunning.

Band Of The Week – Meursault

Filed under: Band Of The Week — Jono @ 1:09 am

Meursault are one of those bands that seem to be on every second gig poster in Edinburgh – and are clearly working really hard – but they’ve taken a long time to start getting real coverage… but with a slot at T in the Park I think this might be their year. I’ve heard them play live twice but their sound has definitely evolved over the past few years. A Fair Exchange (and the video that accompanies it) are stunning. Enjoy.
