So indie you've probably never heard of them

I'd like to share with you a band I discovered many years ago but they often slip my mind. The Amazing Few are not your average band. It's psychobilly mixed with punk mixed with country mixed with whatever else they had lying around, and boy is it crazy.



All the songs come straight from the mind of Kieron Black not so much the band's singer, so much as their narrator. The songs take you through his many life experiences and a few of the crazier thoughts he's had, all accompanied by upbeat happy music. If you actually delve into the lyrics and analyse them, you might very surprised.

These guys are a true indie band. Not doing it for money, fame or anything other than the love of playing music. They've been doing the rounds around Ireland for years now, and have moved up in the world playing cool festivals around Europe. If they're ever playing near you, go see them. It's a real specticle to see live.
