Vito Emmanuel

Well, the way I discovered Vito Emmanuel is special! I knew the 1st manager of Belle Histoire and guess what, he's in this band! 

Vito Emmanuel is the project of Brandon Migliorisi who sings, writes the songs, make the design of the band and probably more! He collaborate with Kevin McNamee (the one who makes me discovered the band) and Ben Brown and sometimes on stage, some other artists complement the band.

 

I would describe their genre as Indie pop with some rock and fun. This is what Brandon wants with this band, he just wants people to have fun and dance on his music. Unfortuneltaly for me, they're from the U.S so it means that I haven't seen/meet them yet and won't probably before a long time again.. But Im sure they will travel soon and make the Europe dance too!

The name of the band come from something very touching, something that could only bring luck to that band. Vito Emmanuel is the combination of the name of the 2 grand-fathers of Brandon on his dad's side, who were 2 musicians who loved to play music on the porch of their house till the early hour of the morning... 

You can download for free the song  "Cough Cough" HERE !!

And you can buy the EP  "Good Luck" on Itunes (unless you're like me and prefer to own a cd!)

You can find the band on the Reverbnation Page, Facebook Page, Official Website, Twitter, and the Youtube page of Brandon.

Red N Pink

I discovered this ladies one day, seeing one of their interviews... I was thinking they were only repoarters/interviewers during the gigs and festivals in London but few weeks after, someone from Broccoli Events told me to have a listen to their sound. So I realised that Red N Pink were more than just some interviewers with cool hair colors, they're also singer/songwriter/member of a duet.

Their music is a mix of Indie-Punk, Electro-Soul and Hip Hop! Red has been describe as "one of the best British female rappers" by Ffion Davies from www.altsounds.com.

I think either you like them either you hate them! I personnaly like their genre. Their single "Badman" says it all. You can stay on your chair, you have to jump and sing with the girlz! Or join them on the ring like in the videoclip.

They can also sing a "kind of "slow song like "Forbidden Love"

My favorite song of Red N Pink is probably "LadyBoy". I really like the genre they gave to that song...

Red N Pink are the new big thing coming from London. Im sure you'll heard from them soon... (out of my blog of course.)

You can find them on Their Official Facebook page, Their Official Soundcloud , Their Twitter account, Their Youtube Page, Their Own Blog

Dexters

Another band I discovered thanks to the club This Feeling. Dexters is a young band from Hoxton

aka a "rough part of East London"; formed in 2011 by 5 friends.

In Dexters you can find:

Tom Rowlett at the lead vocals(& songwriter in"chief")
Matthew Finnegan at the bass
Jamie Finnegan at the rhythm guitar
Ben Daboo at the lead guitar
Chris Mardon at the drums

The 2 Finnegan's brother met Tom at school and kind of always been mates. One day, they decided to play together and "it just all started flowing together. It was just so easy." then the 2 others came add their talent and Dexters was born.

I can't describe you more the band because they made an excellent description on thier Soundcloud page and their words are just magical! I don't wanna steal anything so go on their soundcloud page and read about the story of that new band.

Their music is the kind of indie rock I cherish the most. If you don't wanna move on their song "Start to run" then you have a problem! I have this song in my Ipod and I only wish we will have some new songs soon... 

In their influence they use to mention :

Captain Beefheart, Robert Johnson, The Specials (<3), The La's (<3), The Clash (<3), Richard Hell, The Jam (<3), Mucky Pups, Black Lips ,Storm Cat....

 You can find them on their Official Facebook Page , Their Soundcloud Page  and Their Twitter...

Belakiss -1st single and gig in Paris!

Belakiss are becoming a real highlight in my life, I know them for a while but never been so close to them than I am now!!! 

They're going to play in Paris during one of their day off on Kasabian's European Tour and Im the one who organised it! 

Also, their 1st single has been released on itunes and it's called RISE. Download it HERE AND NOW. 

Belakiss as the support band of Kasabian (2012)

After  being on tour with them in Japan, Kasabian asked to Belakiss to support them again during their mini-tourin Europe and Russia.

Belakiss

Belakiss is one of this cool band I discovered last year through some common friends and This Feeling. 

They're now 4 members and they come from the North West of London. 

Belakiss are :

Tatia Starkey at the vocal and bass

Ruari Meehan at the vocal and guitar
Ben Sheldrick at the vocal and guitar
Alfie Milner at the drums

They describe their music as "A mix of moody, distorted, grinding, psychedelic rock with rasping vocals and heavy beats."

 

They just came back from a tour in Japan being the support band of Kasabian, but it was not a premiere for them as Belakiss is very big in Japan as their hit "Only You" reached the number 1 place in the international air-play chart and also entering the official Japanese charts at number 35. Then, their second single "Run Red", entered the official chart at number 20. 

Fact that they're brilliant, Belakiss was the first band to be accepted for Fuji Rocks 2011, without having their album already out. 

 

You can find them on Reverbnation , Facebook , THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE , myspace, last fm, and follow them on Twitter.... 

I'll be really lucky this weekend cos Im going to London to see Bibelots and oooh Belakiss! :) 2 great bands in one great evening in London... Happy!

Alfie, Tatia, Ruari and Ben

 Be Careful they are BELAKISS not Bela Kiss !
