COUNTRY-FOLKIA FLAVOUR OF THE MONTHISSA

Flavour Of The Month-klubin lokakuun livemusiikkiannos tarjoillaan jo syyskuun puolella, perjantaina 30.9., tutusti ravintola Pikku-Torren lavalla. Tuolloin ohjelmassa on suomalaisen akustisen country- ja folkmusiikin huippuosaamista.

Tamperelainen Hiljainen mies avaa illan. Hiljainen mies saattaa olla tuttu hienosta Hi-Lo And In Between-yhtyeestä, joka on parikin kertaa esiintynyt FOTM-klubilla. Hi-Lo’n americana on tällä haavaa vaihtunut kotimaisempaan kaihoon esityskielenkin ollessa suomi. Odotettavissa on lauluja viime vuoden lopulla julkaistulta debyyttialbumilta Puiden ylle kaatuu aurinko ja muut.

Illan toisena aktina kuullaan odotetun paluun Flavour of the Monthin lavalle tekevää Carmen & The Deviliä. Suomen johtava country-pariskunta esittää tyylitajuista amerikkalaista juurimusiikkia; sekä hallittuja covereita (mm. Hank Williamsia ja Gillian Welchiä) että omaa tuotantoa.

Illan ohjelman täydentää Flavour of the Monthin DJ-kollektion valitsema tyyliin sopiva levymusiikki.

Power Pop #13: The Kidda Band – Get Off The Telephone

The Kidda Band (aka The Incredible Kidda Band) was a british power pop group in the late 70s and early 80s. I admit that this was the only song I knew from them before checking out some youtube videos that proved that they had other great songs as well. I think I need to buy their compilation at some point, but let’s stick with Get Off The Telephone for now, because it’s the song I know by heart and it also has a pretty cool video. So watch this beauty if you are looking for fashion tips or simple but damn brilliant power pop song.

New single from Hi-Lo & In Between

The great Finnish folk rock / americana band Hi-Lo & In Between is getting ready to release their third album entitled We Are Not The Wind (due to be released by Lumpeela julkaisut in october). I’m really looking forward to this, because I loved the second album. The first single A Clear Silence is now out and available. I admit that I had some doubts when I was listening to it for the first time. Maybe because the chorus sounded more like Lasse Lindh than folk to me and I wasn’t expecting that. However, now I’ve been listening to it over and over again with headphones and I’m falling in love with it so badly that I better start saving money for an engagement ring.

Video of the Day #74: Samae Koskinen

You won’t get a big return, if you bet that this song will take the song of the year award here at onechord.net. Hän, jolla on kaikki from Samae’s latest solo album has been the biggest favourite to win that award since I heard it for the first time. Now it also has a music video where nothing or everything happens.
