Back in May my friend Scott at Pop Boomerang Records introduced me to this great new Australian band, The Solicitors. Now they have a new single that is so cool I had to feature it in a post. A new album is in the works for some time in 2014, so if you missed out on the debut EP, you get the new single “Quicksand” included.
Get the single and EP on Bandcamp
Yeah, we’ve all seen movies about people who knew The Beatles, but what about the one person who spent life with the band day-to-day, from the early days till the end. That would be the Beatles personal secretary Freda Kelly. Director Ryan White gives us a documentary of Freda’s 11 years of service with The Fab Four.
The film will open in theaters and iTunes on September 6th.
The DVD release includes the film and extra features like commentary track, visual effects reel, production gallery, etc, AND the entire Monster Suit album (which served as the official soundtrack). Get it at Amazon.
So I reviewed Pretty & Nice a few days ago and here is the video for one of the best tunes on the album. Makes you wanna spazz out, eh?
The Diggers were one of those bands in the late 1997 that really deserved a second look or at least some chart fame. The Scottish quartet were very much in the mold of traditional power pop (The Beatles, the Kinks, Big Star, Badfinger and the Raspberries). I got my copy from Not Lame Records back then and this song still stands out for me.
