Introducing Two Door Cinema Club

Howdy all,
The nice people over at R A D A R M A K E R have just hooked me up with Two Door Cinema Club's latest single for your listening pleasure. Two Door Cinema Club comprise of three lads out of Northern Ireland who combine to make delectable electro pop ditties. They come across somewhat like a more upbeat version of death cab for cutie but lean more towards a dance floor friendly sound. Something Good Can Work as stated before is easily one of my favourite singles of the year so far and if they can keep it up I'm sure to be thrilled by a debut album hopefully sometime in the future. For all your uplifiting indie pop needs get ya d0wnload on! Enjoy!

Blogs Worth Blogging About!

Blogs worth blogging about. Blogs + Perth = Perth Blogs. Perth has heaps of great blogs about random shit. From where you can get a tasty breakfast to saturday night lovin' so here are a couple of my favourites.

Perf Kids
perf perf the ends of the earth. Perf Kids is where you find all the creative ppl of perth getting there thang on on the interwebs ie) they show you their cool shit. It pretty much covers everything from art, music, photography even to other blogs. Perf kids has all the creative shit in perth and pretty much fucking owns! Go there and support perth shite!

Breakfast in Perth
Ever wondered how to kill that hangover that is kicking your ass on a sunday morning? Well how about go get an epic breakfast from a nice cafe or restaurant in Perth. But then after having this genius thought you realise fuck i can hardly get up let alone function. How the fuck am i going to choose a nice place to satisfy my need for tasty food. Well thats when the PBB (Perth Breakfast Bitch) comes into play as she's done all the hard work for you and reviewed some tasty breakfast treats! So nows there is no excuse to be a sloth and lounge around the house all day!

Dropstitch
Dropstitch is Perth Street Fashion. Dropstitch catches Perthians in their natural habitat looking fan-fucking-tastic and posts them on the internet for the whole world to see. There are soo many awesome outfits from all over Perth from cutting edge designs fresh off the catwalk to outrageously dressed people out on the street! From time to time they also have cool reviews of new shops and up and coming Perth designers. If you love fashion and live in Perth this is the site for you!

Chronicles of Dardia
This is random rantings from kid/girl who I'm assuming lives in Leederville and does an arts degree. Random topics range from not knowing your vagina has 3 holes to a review of a shaver. All the post are quite intriguing if a little left of center. A+ my lady.

Lobbers and Lovers
This is Perth at it's finest. Do you like downing multiple gibbons and making a fool of yourself in Public? If so this is the place for you!! Lobbers and Lovers lives up to the name with random photos of people pilling out of their brains and sloppy friday/saturday night loving all over Perth! Nothing is sacred and its just for the lulz!!

Introducing The Temper Trap

Have you ever had the feeling of breaking out of a repetitive cycle? As one little fixation which has been inhibiting your every thought and keeping you grounded fades into the past. The feeling of pure relief as an inner struggle is conquered is not only empowering, it makes you feel fucking alive and glad to be kicking around on this planet we call Earth. Well Melbourne foursome The Temper Trap achieve this and more with their captivating brand of melancholy indie rock. Their sound is driven by lead singer Dougy's soaring vocals which are sweet but also have an underlying haunting resonance to them. This coupled with melodic, ringing guitars creates a sound which is both empowering and haunting whilst making me feel fucking alive! Here is their latest single Science of Fear live thanks to Radio 1. That voice is truly epic.

You can catch them at V Fest @ the Claremont showgrounds on the 5th of April and their debut album is due out hopefully sometime this year. Enjoy.
