Tuesday's Grey

I'm feeling a little under the weather today, so this post is going to be just a little half-assed.


The Chemistry Set know how to write a bio: "His main focus was perfecting his Christopher Walken impersonation and hitting the circuit as a stand-up wrestler. One day, he had an epiphany. He looked in the mirror and saw Gary Busey's reflection, and knew he had to change." They also know how to create great foot-tapping music with recycled unicorn bodies. See them live on 5/28 with Chatterton and Frank Smith at the Knitting Factory Old Office.

Coming soon from High Voltage Sounds:


Promo insert - "The third release sees the band merge their love of funk and soul records with electronic dance beats to create a super-charged indie crossover. Alongside fellow Mancunians The Whip and Performance, The KBC are spearheading a new era of great north-west dance music." I wouldn't quite call it "crossover" or "a new era", but I'd say it's definitely catchy and has dance-floor-energy potential. The Performance remix just guarantees that dance force.

Promo insert - "A sparkling blast of 80s influenced indie-pop, No Light Left builds on Snowfight In The City Centre's reputation for creating songs full of sky-scraping melodies." For some odd reason, listening to this song made Q Lazzarus pop in my head. I'm not saying they're anything alike, that's why I said "odd reason". Maybe it's just the notes he's hitting. Anyway, it's good. Dreamy, poppy, soundscape'ish and all that jazz. Well not jazz... you know what I mean.
