So two gigs in a fucked up week, thankfully. Hooray for escapism, eh. ;) Anyway, the week started with a gig by The Wombats,supported by the Dutch band NeWax. Kudos to NeWax for getting the crowd all warmed up, and for their progression as well. Last time I saw them it was a bit too gimicky, now they really sounded good musically. But The Wombats.

The Wombats, that is, are a British band from Liverpool made up of two Englishmen and a Norwegian. Ranging influences from Hefner, Depeche Mode to Architecture In Helsinki, they draw comparisons to We Are Scientists. It's cheesy pop rock that makes you grin, call it a guilty pleasure, they make some tunes that get stuck in your head. Especially with their satir... MORE

Bright Antenna is a Bay Area record label who last week gave us Americans the first domestic release by the best band out of Liverpool since the Fab Four, The Wombats.
The label's tag line is:
"-MUSIC IS A NECESSITY, NOT A PASTIME.-"
I like those words.
New British band, (another stupid name) 2 singles in, no album as yet....
