yourcodenameis:milo split up!

Posted by Bob on 22nd August 2007 in Quickies

Another good band have split up!

Yourcodenameis:milo last night announced they're to split up after a 5 year and 4 album career. Read on for a statement from the band...

The following message was posted on their forum:-

YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO R.I.P

To All..

After 5 years and 4 wicked cool records, we have decided to put yourcodenameis:milo on an indefinite hiatus.

We are all exceptionally proud of all we have achieved as a band, but feel it is time to move on and explore new paths both musical and non musical.

We are eternally grateful to everyone who supported us through it all, came to the shows, bought the records...plus all the bands we played with and the people we met along the way.

We hope it meant as much to you as it did to us.

cheers for being there.

Justin, Paul, Adam, Ross, Shaun.

I lived on the moon

Posted by Bob on 13th August 2007 in Video

Another one of these very hyped internet songs is 'I lived on the Moon' by a relatively unknown French band called 'Kwoon', but don't let the French part put you off!. It's getting a lot of attention mainly due to the amazing animated video created to go along with it. However, the song itself is worthy of attention with influences being cited as Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky to name but a few.

You can download a higher quality version of the video over on Yanim.net.

The hype behind it reminds me of the JCB song by Nizlopi who have now all but disappeared!

Check out Kwoon on MySpace and over at their official website.
