Happy Music for Happy People

Ok, so I wrote this yesterday, and forgot to hit publish, better late than never I suppose.

Today's band made of indie awesome are...

The Pink Spiders



Glam punk, power pop, punk rock... I've no idea what to call this, but whatever it is, it's awesome. They've been around a while (long enough to make three albums), yet they've never made the trip over to this side of the world from what I can tell. Their first album was released on a nice indie label, their second on some evil big company one, and their third on another indie label. Finally, a band that managed to use the big bad lables to their advantage only to leave before bad things happen.

Their latest album was made before bassist Jon Decious and drummer Bob Ferrari jumped ship and made for greener, less pink pastures. Guitarist Matt Friction is still going around having replaced the others now, but at least this album has the original lineup.

That super awesome photo is by Jessica F who also has here own indie blog (if only ours looked as good as her's).
