Didg, Drum, and da Jazz

Wowsies!

Today I have discovered a few people. People number one are Wild Marmelade. A didgeridoo and drum combo. It is truly golden! Their Myspace is here. Techno Head is my favourite song, so far . It is truly amazing to listen to, and I imagine it would be just mindblowing live – well, if Xavier Rudd is anything to compare it to, it would be!

I also discovered Tina Harrod, who one the AIR Award for bes jazz album. Which is something, so I went and checked out her Myspace. Good stuff, I love jazz!

Then there is Mr Percival. He brings it down with A’Cappella, but he has more of a soul approach to the A’cappella thing. It’s truly groovematic! All the People is a fave already, mind you, I’m only half way through listening to his myspace, so there could be others.

And last of all, Mr Sister. Amazing string stuff on here, I guess if you look at their influences, it’s not surprising, but I love it all the same. I don’t really know how to describe them. I would say almost Corrs-y. Lots of strings, as I mentioned, and Mel and Steve on vocals……. yeah just check them out, I would advise.

Well have fun with that lot. I did!

Angus & Julia – again, and Seagull

Well, Angus & Julia Stone are going to release the Hollywood EP, which I’ve heard various track listings for, but I believe it will have Angus’s version of Wasted on it, which I reckon, if you’re in the right mood, is a 20 times better than the original – it’s got a more lively feel….  Almost reggae-y. You can actually download it at the moment from here. – It’ll probably only be there for a week or something, cos it’s already been there for a week and a bit.

Also there is Muph and Plutonic’s Don’t Worry About Nothing at that site. It’s great, featuring an amazing vocalist it’s got the main jazzy thing, then a rap thing in the background – it’s just as gold as All the Colours, but in a different way.

Then there is Seagull. They’re just a nice sing-a-long if you know it kind of band. You’ll find their stuff on Unearthed.com – they’re being featured this week.
