Indie Goodness

My Monday Music Pick is:
Bell X1: album: Flock, Songs: My first born for a song, Rocky Took a lover, Natalie, Bigger than Me


Clever blurb from their myspace page:

"Bell X1 and Damien Rice used to be a band called Juniper. Juniper berries are used to make gin. "Gin and tonic dressing gown..." is a lyric from Bell X1's debut album, Neither am I, released in 2000 in Ireland. Ireland used to be poor, and now it's blingin, with scattered showers. Showers of critical acclaim followed the release of their (multi platinum n ting) second record, Music in Mouth, in 2003 in the UK and Ireland; the public too were keen. Keane, Snow Patrol, The Frames, Bon Jovi (?!) and Elliot Smith are some of the people that Bell X1 have toured with. With the song Eve, the Apple of My Eye on the latest OC soundtrack, the band recently played in New York and LA, where some of the OC cast came to see the show. Showing their ignorance, the band didn't know who they were being introduced to, bringing to mind the meeting of Homer Simpson and Billy Corgan - "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins" ..."Homer Simpson, smiling politely". Their current record Flock was released in Ireland in October 2005 and went straight to number 1 in the pop charts, followed by many sold out shows and all that jazz. Flock is out in the UK now, and their next single is coming out very soon, so make sure to check back here for more information!"

And in slightly related news: I'm going to the Virgin Music Festival!!! (Keane, New Pornographers, Clap Your hands say yeah, the Killers, The Raconteurs, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Who.....)
Jealousy may now commence!
