Sup bitches!? This new feature of top five bands of the week is pretty much just a self-referential list so I’d don’t lose track of the bands I find on myspace, blogs, or through recommendations from friendos. Anyways, I’m pretty much just gonna post pictures of the bands, a link to their myspaces or websites, and maybe a youtube link if they have any vids. Enjoy my top picks for this week. Cheers — Kait.
#1 SONIC AVENUES, Montreal Quebec
http://www.myspace.com/sonicavenues
These guys are having an album release on GOING GAGA records next week in Ottawa and I am pretty much sure they are my new favourite band besides the Tension Slips. There must be something in the air out there in the East….
#2 THE YOLKS, Chicago Illinois
http://www.myspace.com/theyolks
The Yolks really make me want to dance and swoon at the same time. Hot fuzzzzz!
#3 MESS FOLK, Yukon
http://www.myspace.com/messfolk
Mess Folk are from the Yukon. They are the only band I know that is from the Yukon right at this moment. They are fucking awesome. Their ultimate garage rock and spinny pyschedelic vocals will make you want to take drugs, read vintage porn magazines, and lose control of your life. Ya, that fucking awesome. Expect an interview with them soon AND a GIVEAWAY!!!!
#4 Jeffrey Novak, Henderson Tennessee
http://www.myspace.com/jeffreydavidnovak
Okay, so my crush on Jeffrey Novak isn’t actually new — I am pretty much in love with him! Listen to the “Queen of the Moods” and reminisce about the time you freaked out at your boyfriend for no reason or even sympathize with Mr Novak about your freaky girlfriend with the major mood swings. Oh he is so fantastic….Jeffrey……..!
#5 The New Krime, Victoria British Columbia
http://www.myspace.com/thenewkrime
Just saw Tiemen Kuipers’ new one-man-show The New Krime tonight at Tubby Dog and my friends and I fell in love with it instantly. The drum machine provides a throbbing beat to his completely unintentional dancerock guitar licks and vocals. I think The New Crime is quite infectious or maybe you’ll just get infected.
