Alpines

On a balmy Easter Sunday I was incredibly hungover, and had done a 5 hour DJ marathon set the night before. Feeling in a hazy daze and after eating a dozen BBQ'd burgers I weighed it up. Do I go to see the Alpines gig at Shoreditch Studios? Or do I give it a miss, go to sleep and wake up in regret? I chose the former, and THANK HEAVENS I did because they were ridiculous.

The singer has this amazing long dark shiny hair and it looks so dramatic teamed with her strong and haunting vocals. They've got some immense songs up their sleeves. It's all kind of electro tinged, arty and dark pop (if you have to put it in a box) but it's dead cool, and euphoric in places. It brings you right down and then seizes you straight back up again, and it was the perfect hangover cure.

They're from South London and there's two of them - Catherine the singer with the amazing hair, and Bob on keyboards. They really are one of my favourite new bands and their originality and raw thudding beastliness is a refreshing sip.

Catherine has got a blog and you can see it here... http://www.alpinesmusic.blogspot.com/

THANKS ALPINES!!!!!!!!!

Just a little note to say that I've been nominated up against Ronnie Wood, Robbie Savage and Matt Edmondson for this years Rising Star Award at the Sony DAB Awards!

It's rather a surprise, and I am chuffed to say the least. Thanks to all the bands who've been into the Filthy Disco, and all you grubby listeners out there.

Dimbleby & Capper @ Macbeth

'Let You Go' is a BEAST of a single, and it's the latest one from D&C. It grinds along with sultry vocals and thudding percussion, it's sexy - and one of my favourites this year so far.

Laura was on the Filthy Disco recently and you can listen again whenever you like, she's a corker. http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/explore/radio/filthy-disco/filthy-disco-16-march-2011

Crystal Fighters @ Heaven

Crystal Fighters aren't a new band. They've been loitering around for a while, sporadically dropping musical offerings like a pigeon with a funny tummy. But - they've JUST released their first album 'Star of Love' and if you like surprises, this one's for you. It tinkles along, summoning up fairy gatherings in the woods and dappled shade, and from out of nowhere a beastly dubby bit of bass will catch you right between the eyes.

Their show at Heaven was heaving, sweaty and very magical indeed. Some people aren't fond of the faux Spanish ad libbing inbetween songs (when I told my friend they aren't ACTUALLY Spanish she looked at me in awe) but they win you over by creating rather a party indeed.

With traditional Basque instruments they fuse folk and storytelling with grubby bass lines, and thunderous rave music. It really is quite a delight.

You can hear them this week on Filthy Disco with me, and their latest single 'At Home' is my new addiction.

Have a looky see here... http://crystalfighters.com/
