Oh, I was trying to stay away from you until I was better, but I don’t need to listen to this to tell you that it’s fantastic. I remember it well. Fanfarlo is a band that took a bit to grow on me. Funnily enough, once I saw their video I loved them. And you know I usually hate videos! But they are so charming; Cathy Lucas (violin, keyboard, vox), Justin Finch (bass) and Amos Memon (drums) and Leon Beckenham (trumpet, keyboard) all captured my attention. I loved Luna mp3 right off the start, and once I put faces to that music, it all just came alive for me. So please, indulge yourselves, go take a peek at this gang and come out to see them on their US tour. We’re all a little bit excited about it!

nope, I’m still not able to listen to music, the tinnitus is as bad as it was on Saturday, ugh… hanging in there in hopes of a cure soon! It’s dreadful, my darlings… the worst.
rather enjoyed that. took it in in one sitting. last piece sounds like a little animated movie vignette
glad you liked! Some folks write this group off as just a bunch of hype but I think they’ve got a lot going for them. And as the video shows, they sure have fun doing it too. My hunch is that the pure indie snobs just can’t handle anything fun

It’s strange, these guys should be right up my alley, but I just can’t get into these guys Tart. I’ve sampled a few tracks and I don’t mind Fire Escape and Harold T Wilkins. That’s just the problem though I think – I don’t mind them. I don’t hate them or think they’re bad, they just don’t do it for me.
Pfft, Agnes. Plain old Pfft.
Tart, I’ve added a wee shout out for the Fanfarlo tour & Schubas during this week’s clatter.
Ha! It seems I’m in the minority!
