INTRODUCING GIVERS

Givers are a five piece indie band out of Louisiana. They have got that Vampire Weekend Afro-Pop vibe to their music and as Vampire Weekend are one of my favourite bands they are definitely onto a winner, the band described their sound as "Afro-beat, dancey pants, indie pop love music." They released their debut album 'In Light' this year which you can buy here, below you can listen to a track taken from that album titled 'Up Up Up.'

INTRODUCING OVER 21

Earmilk put me on two Over 21 and from what I can tell these two are a Hip-Hop duo out of Virginia. There doesn't seem to be much information floating around the net about them. You can visit their soundcloud here and two of their joints are listed below for you to listen to, those are 'Hold Me Down' and 'All Alone' respectively.

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - READING FESTIVAL

My favourite band Two Door Cinema Club played the main stage at the Leeds / Reading festivals this weekend. Seen the guys live twice before and they put on a really good show. The videos below show them performing their songs 'I Can Talk' and an acoustic performance of 'Something Good Can Work' respectively.

DJ SHADOW FT AFRIKAN BOY - I'M EXCITED

INTRODUCING ABANDOMAN LIVE AT THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL

Abandoman are a comedy duo / freestyle rap act from Ireland. The duo use audience participation to create freestyle songs on the fly and they are absolute hilarious. The video below shows them performing at this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

ANGELOS EPITHEMIOU - MOVING ON

Angelous Epithemiou is a character created by British actor and comedy writer Renton Skinner. He appeared in the sixth series of 'Shooting Stars.' This new series (starring Bob Mortimer) 'Moving On' features Angelos trying out new careers since the tragic loss of his beloved Burger Van. The character that Renton has created is absolutely hilarious, real laugh a minute stuff. I have posted episodes one (Dancing) and two (France) below. To watch the others go to his Youtube channel here.
