Band bios:
The Lionheart Brothers | Kakkmaddafakka
The Lionheart Brothers
The Lionheart Brothers released one of the most spectacular albums (“Dizzy Kiss”) in Norway in 2007. And after 16 months of touring in Norway and the UK, the band decided to take a hiatus. The hiatus is now over – and the band has just headed the studio to record a new album – set to be released in January 2011.
They sound like a modern Beach Boys with heavily psychedelic rock and shoe gaze vibes, while carry a happy pop lush sound. The new album will though have a darker prog rock inspired sound. Good stuff!
Tags: pop, shoegaze, rock, psychedelic, psychedelic pop, happy dark music.
Good songs: 50 Souls and a Discobowl, Bring it Down, Blue Wedding, Can You See.
Kakkmaddafakka
The guys in Kakkmaddafakka has played together since 2004, have been described as a band who “easily could go through an entire career without releasing one single album, not because they suck, but simply because they’re so brilliant live – an album wouldn’t be necessary”.
They live by the term “Party is a trend that never stops”, create music out of a mixture of pop, rock, jazz, rap, dixiejazz, ska and funk. A new album is set to be released in early 2011.
Tags: rock, pop, ska, funk, jazz.
Good songs: Ooh, Crazy on the Dance Floor, Pick Me.
