From our sister site TA Live – and sorry for the Groove Armada repetition! ****** In video form again! Bowerbirds – North Carolina's Bowerbirds may seem like pretty sleepy music but they put on a stellar show. They're coming to Washington D.C.'s Rock and Roll Hotel on December 2 and Atlanta's EARL allll the way […]
Incredible Queen-borrowed drums, the stunningly electric voice of Saint Saviour, wicked lighting effects – we love this video! Can't wait for Groove Armada's new record (which this is from) to drop in February.

Nine out of ten demos I receive have it. The […]
