London In Stereo Recommends: Hinds, Koko, February
18th
|
|
|
"The
ascent of our January 2015 cover stars, Hinds, has been a real joy to
witness. Testament to the old-fashioned power of non-stop touring, a
gang mentality and the ability to make being in a band look the most
fun a person can have, they've won hearts worldwide. Their debut LP Leave Me Alone
is rammed with the lo-fi charm we've come to expect, but tracks like
?And I Will Send Your Flowers Back' also reveal a more downcast
nuanced side to them. Not that we expect this night to be anything
other than celebratory and triumphant, of course" - London In Stereo.

Although
the internet has been awash with articles, tributes and galleries
to mourn the sad passing of David Bowie on Sunday, somehow it still
seems wrong not to mention the musical giant and cultural icon
here. Endlessly creative and re-inventive, he will be missed.
We found this article "David
Bowie: A Career Spent One Step Ahead of Everyone Else"
over at Loud and Quiet particularly touching and well worth a read.
