Two artists courtesy of Mad Bouncy Dogs records, two bands featuring Nordic girl vocalists, and a great quirky band from London. Presumably mad dogs and nordic girls go out in the midnight sun. I should have thought of that to say in the podcast! Anyway, all for you to enjoy


Uncle Seth - To Be An Angel

Uncle Seth is Amaya Thompson on lead vocals, Jay Moonah on bass and harmonica, and Chris Patheiger on drums and percussion. From its inception in 1999, Uncle Seth hasn't stopped performing its "exuberant and accomplished mix of pop, rock, acoustic folk, twisty grooves, tender ballads, and pretty melodies, topped off by.rousing vocals" ( PIC Press , Kingston).

Guards Of Metropolis - Perfect World

Two girls from the Norwegian Arctic Circle. Two guys from sunny California. One great song...



Irya - Room 54 and I know what I want

Irya Gmeyner spent her early years in Newcastle, England. She moved with her English parents to Sweden but returned to England as a teenager, where she made a living as a busker playing balalajka in the streets. In the evenings she played at the local pub, Acorn in York. Now based in Sweden, Irya’s debut ep The Basement Takes From Textilgatan 7 has just been released.

Vote Show Pony - Strut

A great pop song by a London band inspired by Roxy Music, Blondie and several others. They are presently recording an ep, so listen out for more. Vote Show Pony’s aim in life is simple. To get you on the dance floor & to have you jump around like a kid with ADD. They do this by performing their blend of "Blondie-esque", "Roxy Music-esque", "Scissor Sister-esque" music with all the heart & soul they have in them.

This week's soundbed music is Mrs Otisphere by Cagey House. The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.
