Friends of English guitar music, here's two bands that sound like a children's birthday party at the playground—please listen to Great Eskimo Hoax and Cats In Paris.

I went into your house and stole all the pictures from the wall.

The last couple of weekends I didn't get around to write "Highly commended" posts because I was just too busy attending shows of wicked bands in England. Here is a band I kinda saw by accident because they played a show with Cats And Cats And Cats: they are called A Genuine Freakshow. They were indescribably good. After the show the band gave away CDs for free, containing the three songs they urrently have on their Myspace page . Listen to them, they're really nice songs.

Talking about England: Last night I finally got to watch Control, the film about the rather short life of Ian Curtis, singer of Joy Division. I actually didn't know any of their music before, but watching the film instantly turns you into a fan. So yea, you have to watch it. Watching actual live footage of Joy Division shows made me realise how accurately the acting of the guys playing the band in Control is. It's such a good film. Go to the video shop now.

Plenty of Bands, England's going mad!

Dance rock band Dartz will be playing a little Europe tour in April. The other day someone said, Kopenhagen is beautiful, so go there and check them out:

• 12.Apr.2009, NBI, Berlin
• 14.Apr.2009, Lades, Kopenhagen
• 15.Apr.2009, Shadrak, Groningen

There's other cool bands touring soon, too: Colour are going to tour with Data.Select.Party in England.

Another recommendation of mine is the band Secondsmile, whose music constantly switches from silent singer-songwriter music to noisy harcore. I also like a band that sound like autumn light, they're called Pennines and the 90s emo revival band Look I'm A Ghost.

Wenn Sie an mathematischer Indie-Musik interessiert sind, hören Sie bitte Foals. Sinnlos geil:

• Foals - Balloons

Frohes Noise.

PS:
Broken Social Scene - 7/4 (Shoreline)
Oh my *gawd* :)

WIE GEIL: Sportsday Megaphone. Und fast vergessen: Cajun Dance Party und Data.Select.Party.

Wenn London nach vorne losgeht.
