Some things you might have missed … I know I did.

Lenka

This cute Lisa Mitchell-type character hails from Sydney but moved to L.A to make beautiful music. When I first saw her video clip for The Show I knew she looked familiar – this girl made her musical debut with Decoder Ring. She’s very cutesy but does it in a mature way, her breathy voice acting as an ethereal force in her music. Her songs have even made it into TV shows like Greys Anatomy and Ugly Betty.

Check it out.

The Bronx at the HiFi

…supported by themselves as Mariachi el Bronx, Numbers Radio and Dr El Suavo
The audio of the gig

I was concerned about seeing the Bronx in the Hifi’s terraced room. At gigs there I always find myself perched on the edge of a step, balancing drinks when people push past. Given the Bronx’s ability to whip their audience into a leaping frenzy I foresaw carnage and broken legs; potentially mine.

World Music is more than just sound

Peter Gabriel was the founder and lead singer of Genesis, until 1975 when he left the band to pursue a solo career.  Gabriel is known more recently for producing and promoting world music.

Are You F*cking Kidding Me? (facebook song)

Kate Miller-Heidke wrote a hilarious new song about old flames on Facebook from quickly scrawled notes in pencil and recorded it live at the HiFi Bar.

Check it out, you’ll laugh your arse off.
