Late Of The Pier

Late Of The Pier, a great band out of the UK have been together since 2001. The have supported acts like Kaiser Chiefs and Hadouken!. When I saw Justice in London earlier this year at the Somerset House, Late Of The Pier opened for them. Unfortunately, I only realised that now, and we missed the opening act. Poo.

Some have hailed them as the next Klaxons, I wouldn't go that far. More of a Wombats come Mystery Jets sounding act. The music is happy and awesome to dance to. Too much and it gets poppy, but in doses it's super!

Here are two songs I really like from the band. The second song (Broken) is featured on Kitsune Maison 5 as a Fairy Lights mix. The act, Fairy Lights doesn't exist, instead it is a mix of the original song, done by the band. It is seriously banging (to use a jock word I have heard a lot of late).

Mystery Jets - Twenty One

Mystery Jets latest album (March 2008) blows my mind. I would describe Twenty One as a buffet table with the most amazing variety of food morsels. Every track is a different taste stirring up a wide range of reactions in your mouth (mostly good). Some of their lyrics are random, and at times you might think you are listening to The Maccabees, but their music is fresh, light and has a touch of the eighties era.
They are definitely one of my favourite bands of 2008 and worth purchasing. According to Wikipedia Mystery Jets reckon they are bringing back the eighties and are going to take over the world. We'll see. But for now enjoy the video for first single off the album called Young Love featuring my favourite female vocalist at the moment, Laura Marling.
