08 – Cheese People

Russian madness from Samara. Cheese People is a four-piece band that mixes together funk, disco, electronica and hip-hop and has no analogues in Russia and even in the whole world. The sound is influenced by European indie and electronica bands and the vocals are bit like Russian adaptation of j-pop vocal style. This band actually reminded me of some of my favorite Japanese female fronted bands like YMCK, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box etc.

The Ditty Bops

Unbelievable couple.

The Ditty Bops

The Ditty Bops are two girls Amanda Barrett and Abby DeWald and the band is a mystery from the beginning. These two were on a search for a lost cat as they stumbled upon a backyard of a stranger who was a musician and a guitar collector. He encouraged them to form a band. Not even a band, an adventure that never ends. They sometimes add a little bit of theatre to their shows and the last tour was a cross country on bicycles!

The Ditty Bops

As for the music it’s even more interesting that the outfits and ideas. Ditty Bops are a mix of country, cabaret, saloon and a huge part of the so called western swing. The have extraordinary melodies, nice female vocals, a vide range of string instruments like banjo and mandolin. The lyrics are smart and interesting, a combination of simple words that makes a huge meaning. But still the main thing is the feeling, they have nice groove and have really something more than a casual swing or country band.

Stubbs The Zombie OST

I’m personally a fan of different zombie stuff. Mostly zombie sound is something like from the 50th some early rock and roll or swing or jazz. This is a soundtrack to a retro zombie game. Tunes from the 50th and modern independent bands = omg it’s a success!

The bands include: Death Cab For Cutie, The Dandy Warhols, Ben Kweller, Phantom Planet etc.

The tunes are mostly well known from movies like back to future and cry baby, you can even find “Strangers in the Night Here”. The whole idea is brilliant and the realization is also great. It’s really cool to see that game developers are interested in keeping the retro horror style and not like in making a standard game. As for the best songs from this plate I can name Earth Angel by Death Cab For Cutie, Shakin’ All Over by Rose Hill Drive and Mr. Sandman by Oranger.

The Detroit Cobras

You know there are bands that deserve a big “Wow!” placed in the beginning of the review.

The Detroit Cobras deserve four for every one of their 4 albums. Their style is something like retro-rock or garage rock or 60th or 50th of 70th with a little bit of indie.

The Detroit Cobras

This is like Marty McFly from Back to Future 1 running into Quentin Tarantino’s soundtracks but fronted by awesome female singer. It’s rock and roll played in an old garage with all the twist from the 60th and in the last album even with spiced with jazz and soul.

The plates you need to find are called: Life, Love And Leaving (2001), Baby (2005) and the last album Tied & True (2007). The first two are more of a garage sound and can be perfect for a retro party and the last one is like a real pearl of the modern music. Fueled by some more professional sound it still possesses this groove that shook the world like 40 years ago. These dudes can be respected just for keeping this groove.
