THE XX

The XX, just another indie new wave pop band from the UK?! I think not. With influences ranging from  “Aaliyah to CocoRosie, Rihanna to The Cure, Missy Elliot to Chromatics, The Kills to Ginuwine, Pixies to Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake  to Tracy + The Plastics” this talented threesome are destined for big things.

Released in August 2009, the band’s debut album “xx” is comprised of eleven artfully written and produced songs as the amazing vocals of Romy Madley and Oliver Sim combine with lyrics of loss and love and are accompanied by superbly crafted musical compositions.

Having already toured Australia with the Laneway Festival earlier this year, it is unlikely that the band will return in the near future, but we can always dream! For now their debut album is available at all good music stores.

PHOENIX

If you haven’t already heard of French indie rock/pop band Phoenix, then prepare to! Since the release of their fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, in May 2009 the band has gone from strength to strength, celebrated for their catchy, easygoing tunes. Favourites include the upbeat “Lisztomania” and the more rock orientated “1901,” while my personal favourite is the more chilled out (and possibly a little more depressing..!) “Lasso.”

 Phoenix are touring nationally at the start of March. With most venues already sold out, tickets are limited, so hurry, Phoenix are genuinely a band not to be missed!

Here at the BFS HQ, we love music and we love fashion, so when this flame haired beauty marries the two with complete and utter wonder we fall double hard.
Florence and the Machine has a songbird voice and dresses like a gypsy who has run 
away with the circus. we love!
