The Royalties

Well, a good joke always finnish with a good end. Sometimes a good start. The Royalties is one of these cases. Or, more accurately, a series of jokes between friends – an ill-fated punk band, a cheesy covers group, and a handful of failed/funny projects that never really took off, but served as fine launching pads for vocalist/bassist Tommy Haltbakk and drummer BK Rambjør. Yes, they are Norwegian. Blond, creative and pop.

They are actually on a tour in USA.
Check the dates:

10/19 Great Scott – Allston, MA
10/25 (CMJ) Spike Hill – Brooklyn, NY
10/26 DC9 – Washington, D.C.
10/30 Public Assembly – Brooklyn, NY

Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees

Halifax-based electro-dance outfit Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees is an artful blend of honeysuckle and poison. Bitter yet sweet, the quartet of nectar collectors harvest sounds akin to Tiga, Daft Punk, MSTRKRFT and 80s-era Madonna.

we love remixes:

mp3>> Girls you love
mp3>> How to win friends
mp3>> You don’t miss me

Lykke Li

She is the new hottest singer in Sweden. A mix of electro, soul and pop, she sounds sweet and powerful at the same time. Beautiful, stylish and trendy. The brand new promise in european indie pop.
