LARRY'S LIVE MOMENTS OF 2008:

Starring Midnight Juggernauts, Mystery Jets and Crystal Castles

Midnight Juggernauts

My 'secret gig' of the year.

Mystery Jets

A balmy summer's evening and a band that knocked the socks off those higher up the bill. Their album is one of 2008's pop highlights.

Crystal Castles

Alice from CC crowdsurfed on my head.

Nortec Collective - Brown Bike

Nortec Collective are a sort of tijuana-infused dance band. This is very happy stuff.

VV Brown - Crying Blood

Very poppy, very infectious, You can see why she has been tipped for big things in 2009. Although that chorus does remind me of something...

Von Sudenfed - Fledermaus Can't Get It

It completely passed me by the The Fall's Mark E Smith had started a side band with German techno kings Mouse on Mars. Their debut album, Tromatic Reflexxions, is very good.

Operahouse - Change In Nature

No posts in a while because there hasn't been anything good in a while. It's that time of year. But now there is something good. Something very good indeed.

Fujiya & Miyagi - Knickerbocker

Brighton-based Fujiya & Miyagi have been around for a while now and have consistently been coming up with the goods, in particular their 2006 album Transparent Things. They are currently leading the race for best lyric of the year with 'I saw the ghost of Lena Zavaroni' from their new single.

Organic Stereo - Brightness

This Japanese solo artist has been floating under the radar for a little while now, but he does a very nice line in chillout, and I can recommend his myspace for further aural pleasures.
