storming the floor, just wait til it kicks in...
This week another difficult decision had to be made on who to expose on the exposure, there is so much good music out there at the moment, a brief peruse around the trusty music blogs yields yet more options from a huge range of genres and artists. So, what to do? Well, how about a cover of a classic.
The Penelopes, a french electro dance rock duo who have already re-released an album on Vitalic's own label are steadily making making a name for themselves on the rock and electronica scenes. Their reputation as frenetic and reliable party-starters has been bolstered by bookings at Dour, Sonar and Razzmatazz (barcelona)...
This track, a cover of the Beastie Boys Sabotage, is way out there... Its amazing, the intro is the same as the original and then it breaks, an absolutely awesome interpretation that will make you wish you were hearing it on some big loud speakers in a warehouse / festival / car / anywhere with bass... Definitely going to keep an eye on these guys.

notoriously rowdy, as if you had somehow stepped into a rockabilly bar by mistake
The Brutes recorded an album 6 months ago.. "oh" I hear you say. Well, listen up, this album has just been released and it sounds amazing! The best thing about it though is that it was recorded at the Roundhouse in Camden during A ONE TAKE SHOW, yes.
They invited all their friends to come and join in with the recording including Tigs from Chew Lips who sings on 'The Cukoo and Stolen Heart' which you can hear on this page.
They kept in every blemish, and because of that as well as the perfectly formed songs - it really gets you closer to the band, maybe that is why these guys have created a massive buzz around themselves with great fans stretching from BBC1 to Clash Magazine.
To some up their sound is like taking a Cadillac time machine, absorbing all the ruckus bits along the way and spitting out the rest. Mixing in a little bit of country, a little bit of soul, put together through a garage rock sound and stomping beats and bass lines, and finishing up with a fat, heavy brute chorus.
The Brute Chorus are touring through the country as we speak, and are updating twitter on their every move which is often quite comical, twitter.com/TheBruteChorus
Celebrating the release of the self titled album they will be performing at the album launch party to be held at The Bath House, which is a beautiful Victorian theatre restored to its former beauty. Their live shows are as Clash Magazine put it "notoriously rowdy, as if you had somehow stepped into a rockabilly bar by mistake". The songs are intricate stories about love, myth, fairy tales and obviously contain raucous brute choruses.
Rough Trade have summed it all up "there's a mix of pop, circus burlesque and most noticeably rockabilly. this is a debut that you will not be able to stop tapping your feet to. with a nod and a reference to rock n roll, blues, gang of four style post punk and even a touch of nick cave thrown in for good measure it's one of the most impressive debuts of the year"
They dont have much of the way of live footage or video's for singles etc - but they have been very kind to dig this up for us from the previous single 'All the pilgrims'.
