MK's Indie Club

[MK Shrimper]

Europe. I was thinking Europe. Not the big hair rock band one hit wonders, but how much decent music comes out of mainland Europe.

Answer: Very , very little.

Excluding Scandanavia (obviously), all that mainland Europe has given to the Indie cannon is Daft Punk and....

Well, from Belgium here are dEUS and Suds and Soda.

Oh great tune to start the day!

My favourite dEUS tune is little arithmetics but this good as well.

Was a toss up between the two, but as this is a club, Suds and Soda is a little more danceable.

a few other contenders that leap to mind..

Soulwax - NY Excuse (Belgium)


Phoenix- Everything is Everything (France)

Atari Teenage Riot- Revolution Action (Germany)

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yer, Atari TR...never heard of Phoenix, I had no idea Soulwax were johnny foreigners!

 

[Lester Bangs]

Phoenix are awesome, if you want a really nice frothy summer tune then this little gem from 2000 hits the spot:-

dEUS are a blinding band... The Ideal Crash is so so so sso good!

 

[Pubey]

dEUS - Sister Dew

 

[Song of the South Upper]

M83 are a top French shoegazing band. I can also recommend Czech band Plastic People of the Universe, who I found out about completely by accident on a trip to Prague a few years ago. http://www.furious.com/PERFECT/pulnoc.html

(Sadly no links to Youtube as work have blocked it)

If you're going to ask about good music rather than just Indie, what about godfathers of industrial Laibach and Einstürzende Neubauten? And not forgetting Dutch Prog legends Focus...

Oh you legend I was trying to think of the name of that band earlier for this thread but alas my memory failed me. Will be able to sleep easy now!

That would indicate that I have a lot to do in the "Sarcastic but humourous post" department
