This week i'm going to post about music by some friends and an aquaintance of mine. I may be buyest but i love their music and would like to share it with you.
So first up is the band Swing Youth, I went to their EP launch at The Wheelbarrow in Camden, last Sunday with a couple of friends.
The band consists of two pairs of brothers from London who describe their music as new wave, pop, postpunk.
It was a good night, the band always have so much energy and its rather funny when the bassist jumps around so much he ends up knocking several things over (microphone stand about 3 times and knocked a trellis covered with fairylights off a window). Here are a few photos from the gig :)
I am particularly proud of this image as Jimmy(bassist) jumped and he was mid air when i took the photo :)
Here are a few of my favourite songs by them:
Their EP is out now and available for free download at http://www.swingyouth.bandcamp.com/
Next up is George Frakes a folk singer from London, I've met him a few times and heard him play guitar while at a friends house but never knew what a great singer he was until heard his songs last night. I think he'll go far as a musician.
Here's a video of him performing Ghost of a Girl, the title track from his EP.
My favourite songs are Rhythm and Blues and Sleep.
