Space boys.

It's time to show you a relatively new band, born in 2005 in the entrails of England's streets. These british guys are Klaxons, no mates, not the trumpets.

No women this time. These are Jamie Reynolds, James Righton and Simon Taylor-Davis, members of this band. Though they look like normal guys, this isn't a really good picture to describe them. Their style is more freak and a bit galactic, so a better picture to show them could be ...

... one of this. Yes, muchs better.

Their first album was released in 2007 and it was titled 
"Myhts of the Near Future". Thanks to this work, they started to be known and then the fame came to them. Until now it's been their best job.

 On august of last year (2010) was released "Surfing the Void". With this album under their shoulders, these guys will try to conquer new horizons. 

I really recommend this space, alternative, rock, solar, indie, acid, sci-fi, funky, psychedelic and progressive music, along with the particular vocals. You might enjoy it.

This was the first song I heard from this band. It's called "It's Not Over Yet" and it's from their first album. This song is a cover of the band Grace and is has a nice video.

And for last, one of their latest singles, from "Surfing the Void", these are the "Echoes" from the other world turning horizons into endless ever present. Cheers.

Gossip Big Girl.

Gossip... mmm lovely series full of supermodel hot girls and handsome boys, drama and all those kind of things people usually love but, wait a minute... that's Gossip Girl, and I know there's a better one, so here I introduce you to Gossip, and no more lastnames now.

From left to right is Hannah Blilie (drums), Beth Ditto (goddess and vocals, really nice vocals) and Brace Paine (guitar), together they are Gossip, an american and very special band formed in 1999.

We can clearly see that Beth (in the middle), the face and soul of this band, is not as all the women body and beauty prototype, so many people at the beginning thought that she was never going to be famous... And here she is now, with her indie rock alternative music been played and listened by all of her fans around the world, with nothing to envy to all the pop divas, and ready to shut all the bad prophet's mouths with her majectic voice and her big big booty. I have to mention that she has become a fashion icon as well 'cause of her fancy and exotic way to dress.
So let's hear some of this energic music.

"Heavy Cross" is the first single from their fourth and most recent studio album "Music for Men" released in 2009. This video shows the original style of this band, specially Beth's one. Maybe Lady Gaga could learn something from this big girl.

And been perfomed in public, here is "Standing in The Way of Control". This single was the responsible of the band's fame 'cause it was used in a promotional video for the british teen series Skins. All of the energy and strong personality displayed on the stage by Beth, proove us that is not necessary to be skinny (bulimic) to be a great artist. Cheers.

A bit of scottish taste.

Last time was a british group, and now is the scottish turn to show us how awesome is Europe and yes, I'm a big fan of the old continent stuff.
With an historical and catchy name, Franz Ferdinand is now one of the greatest indie/rock exponents.

Alex Kapranos in the lead vocals and guitar, Bob Hardy in the bass guitar, Nick McCarthy hitting the keyboard and Paul Thomson at the drums are the soul of this band formed at the beginnings of this millenium in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.

With just three records and other in process coming soon, this alternative band give us some really good tracks that have positioned them in the top of the world rankings, and have make them winners of many awards, good deserved by the way. 
Let's hear some of them that I'm pretty sure you'll like.

"The Fallen" is one of my favourites. Extracted from his second album "You Could Have It So much Better" it's a very funny and fast song, with lots of Jesus references mate !

And the song that opened the gates of fame for them just couldn't be absent of this post, so here is "Take Me Out" from his first studio work to close it with a golden mark. Cheers for that.
