THE ETTES

Wanted to talk about a band I have kind of listened to off and on for the last couple of years. Formed back in 2004, The Ettes are a really beat-punk inspired group that when you listen to their songs, you can hear the influences from the Ramones, Rollin Stones and Blondie which they make into their on unique sound.

They have been compares to Blondie, along with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Strokes. The performances, which you can see below, are really full of energy and it will leave you wanting more. When they get asked at live shows for an encore, the band normally replys "If we're all still standing and the gear can still make noise, we'll do it.".........god you gotta admire the group........

So check out the music below to hear The Ettes insistent and irresistible sound that will take you into new music territory for a real revitalized wall of sound.

Sally Shapiro

Whispery sopranos and gentle pulsations of wistful warmth is the best way I could describe the music of Sally Shapiro. The pseudonym of a swedish singer, Sally Shapiro takes her influences from what I can really only describe as a cross between Italian disco and eurobeat.

One item that makes Shapiro stand out from the crowd is the fact that she shuns publicity. She does not perform live, give live interviews nor has she ever given out her real name. Her first album, Disco Romance, from 2007 got good reviews and her latest release , My Guilty Pleasure, follows in the same footsteps, much to the joy of her fans.

I have provided a couple of her songs below that show off her delicate and sensual vocals, along with the vintage 80's feel that her producer/writer Johan Agebjorn brings and I am sure you will be able to hear the influence that Kraftwerk and Katy Grey have provided.

Enjoy.....
