I am going to see 3 GREAT bands on Saturday – The Cat Empire, Blue King Brown and the Beautiful Girls. Which is SO exciting, anyway I’m just writing this as a warning that there WILL be a rant/rave post. WITH photos. Oooh, I can’t wait.
Hopefully as the year goes on I’ll get back to discovering more new music, but till then… nothing.
Actually, have I told you about Gotye (Gaw-t-yeah)?
Walter (Wouter) de Backer. Born in Belgium, but raised in Australia-he’s this amazing guy who samples a HEAP of stuff then mixes it all, adds his incredible voice and sells. 
He released his debut single in May 2006, and then a few months later his first album (Like Drawing Blood). Then last year he released a ‘remix’ cd, on which other various people had remixed some of his songs. Among those people was one of my friends’ brother… so I kind of feel like I’m some distant relation, but it hardly qualifies really. 
Wally’s first band, Downstares grouped and un-grouped while he was in his teens, that’s when his solo stuff first started happening, and now he is also in a band called The Basics, who the same friend’s OTHER brother got asked to drum for when he went to see them.
I am a BIG fan of both Gotye and the Basics, and thought it would be good if I shared this fanhood with all youse!!!!
