It’s my turn to do New Band Day again, and yet again I have next to nothing to tell you about the band I picked. This time the lucky mystery band is La Shark! I tried all my researching tricks (read: I googled them) and most results were from people who were really psyched Shark Week had started again on the Discovery Channel. Furthermore, the band has only one song up on MySpace. I don’t normally judge a band by one song, but it’s so amazing I couldn’t pass it up.
So here’s yet another one of my flimsy New Band Day posts, but I make it up with some really wonderful music. La Shark is a five-piece band from London. The one song on their page, “Bones”, is a crazy shambolic affair that’ll inevitably set up camp in your brain. The great beats, quirky lyrics, pretty harmonies and overall weirdness are faintly reminiscent of Mystery Jets, but sounds more like they had a collision with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I’m definitely keeping an eye on these guys, because if this song is any indication of what the band sounds like, it’s more than enough reason to get really really excited about their future work.
