Absolute summer banger this one. Hat-tip to our friend Fredrik for the sharing this golden one. No Vacation are a duo from sunny San Francisco and their latest offering Lovefool is about the best it can get. Sunny riffs, soothing vocals and that fine sense for rhythms and harmonies that only the true ones have. So good. Get lost in their Soundcloud – pure bliss.
Now, while you mostly hear about historic venues getting shut down left and right of the Atlantic, it is now time to celebrate the birth of a red hot new place, a brand new venue dedicated to live music. At least here in Hamburg – where The Beatles played first don’t you know it – and where VOLT is opening its doors for the first time this Thursday. The first name on the ticket and the first of a hopefully long and prestigious history to begin are London ensemble Dark Sky.
The trio is not only gonna play a full live set but also going to join in on the whole DJ set extravaganza that is going to be the afterparty. With Hamburg legends Ralf Köster of Golden Pudel Club, Levente and Pelle Buys doing their thing. Really, if you call this fair city of Hamburg home and wonder what to do on a bright Thursday night – this is it, your chance to have attended the first gig at VOLT.
Attached is Dark Sky’s loving Imagin off their LP with the same name – out now on Monkeytown Records.
Whoa whoa whoa. Danish super group Wangel just came around with this new banger of track. Seoul sports a staggeringly beautiful production. The way Peter’s iconic vocals and those vast synths go together is beyond words to describe. Seoul is the first track of his upcoming EP – be sure to look out for that.
One of Team Poule’s favorite power houses The Circus House out of Denver, Colorado, released a red hot new joint last month. China Doll is a soulful twilight ride between synth lands, saxophones and angel like vocals. A laid back mélange of electro pop and the Dam Funk vibes of this century.
Don’t miss their banging Tasteless Kisses on the 12th Poule d’Or Compilation.
Whoa whoa whoa. Pure and straight forward this one by eclectic duo Surf Rock is Dead. Just hit play already. It doesn’t get better than this.
Liverpool’s power house All We Are busily tour the larger parts of Europe right now – celebrating the release of their debut album that came out earlier this month. If you are lucky enough to live in France, you probably saw them last week. Next week, the bunch is making a stop in Germany, playing Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Munich before hitting Amsterdam, the UK and Ireland. All dates here.
Now, sitting nicely at Poule headquarters are no less than two tickets for the show at Hamburg’s Prinzenbar this Wednesday, Feb 25 waiting for one lucky winner. All you have to do is comment on this post with you favorite All We Are track out there. Extra points for throwing down a facebook like for Team Poule. The winner will be drawn Tuesday Feb 24, 8pm CET sharp. Attached is Stone off their debut, out now.
