So, this is my new old indie music blog. I decided to make a new one but I took the posts from my old blog and posted them on here as well. You can find my old blog under xindiemusicx.blogspot.com .
I try to post monthly, but please bear with me if I'm sometimes a little late. Thank you! And now..
Enjoy my blog! :)
A great song that I love is Big Scary's Cover of the Nirvana Song 'Come as you are' within the cover program 'Like a Version' by the Australian Radio Station Triple J.
I think it's very brave to pick a song by Nirvana but Big Scary definitely do it justice. They put their very own spin on the song which I love because they don't try to follow in the footsteps of the band.
I think it's one of the best cover's of the 'Like a Version' series and also one of the best songs the band has released.
One of my favourite songs has been Boo Seeka's cover of MØ's 'Pilgrim'.
Boo Seeka is an Electro-pop duo based in Sydney, Australia. The duo consists of the lead singer and guitarist Ben Gumbleton, called 'Boo' and Sam Croft, who plays the electronic instruments. The band is an incredible good live band. I think I even like their live performances better than their records.
During their shows, the band creates a carefree atmosphere and is able to put the audience in a very good mood. That's one reason why I love their live cover of MØ's song Pilgrim so much. They put their own spin on the song and I love the bohemian sound they create. Additionally, Boo has such a soft voice that gives me chills and I could listen to him singing all day long :)
The band recorded the song within the cover series of triple j. Triple j is an Australian radio station. In their 'Like a Version' - sessions, the radio station invites different bands each week to cover a song of their choice. You can listen to the song below:
The band is currently on tour and will be joining the bands 'Cherub' and 'Frenship' on their national tour in the USA in October. You can find the tour dates on their website.
