TV On The Radio

American art-rockers TV On The Radio are one of my favourite bands, so yes I have some bias when I say THEY ARE AMAZING! Their gig at The Palace on Wednesday night was high-energy and amazing! The set list covered all the best from all their 5 albums. Of course there was their expected major hits 'Wolf Like Me' and 'Staring At The Sun', but there was also the amazing 'Will Do' and high-voltage 'Repetition' from their latest album 'Nine Types Of Light' and a finale of 'Satellite'.

I love it when you can tell that singers are 100 percent connected to and meaning the words that are coming out of their mouths! Lead man, Tunde Adebimpe does this, when he sings he puts his all into each line, into each song! Love love love!

This week...

Am digging the latest Tv On The Radio album '9 Types Of Light', especially loving the track 'You', amazing!
Ok so this clip is kinda shakey, but close your eyes and listen bitches...so cool...

or even better, just go and buy the album and listen to the studio version!


Also enjoying the new album 'Blood Pressures' from The Kills. Can't wait to see them do their thing in Australia in a couple of months!

news....

There has been some major news headlines recently; a royal wedding and Osama being killed by Americans to list a couple that everyone was talking about non-stop and I care little about....

There has also been some really sad news, that I do really care about. One of my favourite bands Tv On The Radio lost a member last week. Gerard Smith, Tv's bassist has passed away at the age of 36 after battling lung cancer.
This is a big loss to the music world, and no doubt the world in general.
The band wrote this message on their website:

"We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer. Gerard passed away the morning of April 20th, 2011. We will miss him terribly."
