Eskimo Joe- Black Fingernails, Red Wine
another surprising band at the silly little Indie Fest i attended was Eskimo Joe. they were a last minute *supposed* filler band, after another band had to cancel because the lead singer went to rehab. of course. but they were my favourite and the absolute highlight of the day. the guys came on stage in daper tailored suits with skinny ties, they meant business. kav says to the audience, in a serious tone, "we have fourty-five minutes to impress you, here it goes." and impress us they did. the instrumentals were tight, the vocals were spot on and the songs stayed with me well into the next day. the of course, i did a bit of research on them (because i want to know more!) and it seems they are relatively well known on the aussie indie circuit, but they are trying to break into both- the american and british markets. best of luck to them. lets start the hype, they have the goods to back it all up.
the argument of God continues..
their new vid:
London Bombs
new dreamy video, beautiful song and reminiscent of an old smashing pumpkins video, no?
New York
i love the energy and of course the sights&sounds of my city in this one.

- As a slightly obsessive *albeit discriminating* follower of all things pop culture, i figured it was about time that i too would begin a social commentary on blogspot. my own personal take on all things that i am currently intrested in. i am a huge fan of genius style-high fashion and simpleton style-low fashion that looks like haute. i read many fashion glossies. i frequent fashion. beauty. celebrity blogs. i online window shop more than anyone i know. i am a self defined music elitist, who prides myself in discovering new bands. i will drop anything to go to a live show. i am wasting far too many brain cells on random *unimportant* pop culture facts. i am also a wandering, socially conscious hopeless romantic.

Australian music represent! Their last album was huge huge huge here last year. They've been around for a long time, but they were probably the biggest band in the country last year(ok, except for Wolfmother). I've never been a solid fan, but they delivered with the last album.
Good luck to them. God knows they'll need. We don't seem to have a great track record re: internationally sucessful artists.
I love eskimo joe! i caught them at the viper room in LA last month and they blew my mind. "new York" is one of the most beautiful songs!
im going to see them again on 11/6 when they open for stars of track and field.
if you dig them, you should vote for EJ as they're up for an MTVU Freshman award!!
