Three Bands, Randomly Found

Again it seems, looking for random indie gigs has paid off, and a whole three new indie bands have been discovered. They're all playing Whelan's on the 7th of February, so get yourself a ticket if you can. Even if you don't live in Dublin, they're touring Europe over the next while so get yourself to a gig.

It's a Musical. Poppy indie. I mean, really poppy happy stuff. Bits of every instrument thrown together. You really have to hear it, because I don't think they've come up with a word for it yet.

Kid Dakota. Less poppy, less happy. Lots of delay, and echos and the like. More downbeat lyrics, and a lot slower. His Myspace describes it as rock/indie/country and you can certainly hear the country influence. Quite nice really, a lot like people Sun Kil Moon at times, but has a certain quality to it that makes it something very much it's own.



Ter Harr. Experimental indie from Berlin. Has a certain lo-fi sound to it, with a touch of early 90's/late 80's British indie rock to it. So indie, Flickr couldn't find a picture of them.

Today's photo of Kid Dakota is by Stacy Schwartz who has some really awesome photos, so check them out. On another note I've finally found time to do my review of the gigs I've been to in the last three months, so head over to last.fm and check them out.
