Friendly Fires

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend? We finally managed to get the living room finished last week so when out friends from the west country came up to visit we at least had somewhere comfortable to sit. I was so excited to finally get to use the sofas without plastic sheets all over them.

Last night, Date night, for my husband and I was fantastic. We went tot he Cambridge Corn Exchange to see Friendly Fires. They were awesome live and even though I wasn't familiar with all the songs I'm now tempted to buy their album, it's so funky. The lead singer can definitely throw a few shapes too he was even dancing on top of a lit up box at some points. The lighting and graphic backdrops were amazing, as well as a slow motion video of a flying parrot which features on the front of their new album Pala. Their music is a combination of funk, electronica and indie rock with sounds you would really enjoy on a beach in a far flung place. Check them out!

Wolfgang / Naked and Famous

Just a quick note to say I went to a fantastic gig last night at ARU in Cambridge. Two bands WOLF GANG and The Naked and Famous were playing. They were both really good live, I'd heard about The Naked and Famous through Radio 1 through their BBC sound of 2011, but their support band were equally as good. It was pretty packed, I think partly due to them winning an NME award the previous night. Check out their recent singles 'Young Blood' and 'Punching in a Dream'. Their album Passive Me •Aggressive You is available from the 14th of March. The album artwork is pretty cool too.

I have a new girl crush, Alisa the lead singer of The Naked and Famous, her voice is a wonderful mix of Bjork and Natasha Khan from Bat for Lashes.
