It's way too early to be alive, but I thought I would make this post that was in my head when I woke up. Other things in my head when I woke up, the song Clouded Eyes by Chron Gen and some remnants of crazy dream about World War 13. Anyway, a friend sent me this first song yesterday and I love the sound. You can find more from this current London trio Flowers HERE and a bunch of their music HERE.
When I saw the name I thought this new group was the old Scottish band Flowers who you know from several Fast Records comps. As usual, I am not going to say much about this band. I have a secret plan to do a feature on the Earcom comps in a future issue of the zine so I don't want to ruin the surprise. All to say, two bands with the same name seemed like a nice way to start the weekend, as Thursday is the new Friday. Here's my favourite Flowers song from 1979.
Also, a couple little reminders: I forgot to tell y'all last weekend that Molly Nilsson was playing in Montreal. And consequently, I forgot to go and have been kicking myself since. So, don't pull a Megon and forget to go to one of the THREE shows this weekend.
Thursday 17th, Peach Kelli Pop @ Il Motore
Friday 18th, Lebanon Hanover @ Playhouse
Saturday 19th, Marie Davidson @ Casa
Or you can join me early on Saturday at Cafe Atomic for an ODIF DJ set around 10pm.
Ok, happy Thursday!!

Megon - good connection there. Love the 1979 Flowers stuff, especially "After Dark". I too always twitch a little when I see the new band's name posted on the 'web, thinking it might be new material from the Scots. The new band's ok, certainly so if you enjoy Blondie, which I sometimes do....
