La nouvelle scene française Part 2. aka The Ones I Like
Although i can't say that ‘la nouvelle scene française’ gets my groove on (remember this post?)….there are certain bands that are totally worth it...
I love UFO sound like a blast of energy, they have great drums and I instantly fell in love with the vocals...
I Love UFO - Like In The Movies.mp3Stuck In The Sound make me feel all hyper… and they just have fabulous song titles…
Stuck in the Sound - Never on the radio.mp3
The Kissinmas draw influences shamelessly from the British dance punk movement… yet, they manage not to sound like ‘trying to be British’… The result: a blast of energy and a band that could be mistaken for a British one….a bloody good one…
The Kissinmas - Disco Punk (Is Too Easy).mp3
The Love Bandits are slightly funkier… and I do believe they give the late 90’s French electronic scene some credit…
Los Chicros fool you… if you hear “Diskonoise” you might think they are some indie-dance act… Thus, the rest of the album comes as a surprise… it’s folkier, more acoustic… And it really sounds good…
The Clerks were one of the three bands that performed at Inrock Indie Soiree in Lyon… (the other two were The Sunshine Underground and The Automatic)… Blemey… I couldn’t believe there are French… The English accent was perfect… Well, besides that, they do this danceable pop-punk that isn’t far to innovative but is fun….
I saw Arpad Flynn and The Mockings in December ’06… Ninkasi… as always… And I was amazed… Arpad Flynn are this art-rock band from Lyon… somewhere between Sonic Youth and Joy Division….that know how to give a great energetic live performance…The Mockings are also from Lyon….Their style is more of Bowie meets Led Zeppelin meets New York Dolls…I like them….
Unfortunetly, I do not have anything from the last three acts... so, if anyone who reads this has songs of theirs... could you please... *big grin**puppy eyes*
