ANDREW McGIBBON - FLAMINGOES OF LOVE

 ANDREW McGIBBON - FLAMINGOES OF LOVE

Do you know The Bonnevilles ? The Northern Irish duo from Lurgan that don't so much play punk blues but rather used it as a spring board to create a completely new genre. They take Mississippi Hill Blues and Punk Rock and mix it into their own unique dark Northern Irish Punk Blues stew.

If you don't know them it's your loss (seriously, just check them out) and you did not read this blog very well because I already mentioned them in this blogpost.

Andrew McGibbon is one half of The Bonnevilles and in 2020 he already touched my music-loving hearth with his first solo album Northern Gothic and I was glad to hear that there is a new album coming up : Northern Gothic 2 - Letters To a Young Rebel. The album will not be ready for a while yet but Andrew already released a first single : Flamingoes of Love.

It's a song in different layers. The first half of the song is very cinematic. When I close my eyes listening to it I see landscapes passing by. It could be the soundtrack for a movie that I would probably love. Then Andrews continues with his guitar and an almost fragile voice. Going further in the song both layers come together. 

I'm in love with this song and no, it has nothing to do with the flamingoes in the title. Can't wait to listen to the album !!

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL Normally I write about a song that caught my attention or that has a special meaning to me but this article is a tribute to this small festival that I had the honor in attending in Croatia's capital Zagreb at the Vintage Industrial Bar This story actually starts in June 2022. While I was watching the amazing band L.H.D.  at the Trash'n'Burn festival in Croatia, I met some great people who were also in a band called Melewai . We started talking, drank some beers and after the festival we stayed in touch. From time to time they released a new song on Bandcamp and I just loved their songs. I promised them that whenever they would play their first live gig I would do my best to be there. And then the news came that Melewai was going to play at the Off The Grid festival, organised by L.H.D. and together with Sumski  and Psycho Mutants . So, keeping my promise, I was there on the 27th of December. Melewai opened the festival and a lot of people did not reall

JERRY MOTOR - MARY

 JERRY MOTOR - MARY Jerry Motor's latest single, "Mary," plunges listeners into a captivating musical experience that resonates with haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of a crossover between Skunk Anansie and Kate Bush, the band delivers a performance that is both powerful and evocative. From the moment the drums kick in, the song establishes a relentless momentum that drives the narrative forward. The pounding and thriving percussion sets the pace, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Each beat feels purposeful, contributing to the overall dynamic of the track. The guitar work in "Mary" is nothing short of mesmerizing. While maintaining a clean tone, it weaves intricate melodies that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended. The haunting quality of the guitar adds depth to the music, creating an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting. However, it's the bass that truly sh

ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW

 ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you Alps..  At The Black Flamingo we really are blessed with the people that come visit us.  No matter how big or small the audience, they give the artists all the attention they deserve.  One day Jesse came over to watch a show here.  I didn't knew who he was but someone pointed out to me that he also was a musician and a songwriter.  After a little research (hurrah for socials) I came across two of his projects, Alps. and CYNN' (more about CYNN' later, I'm sure). For me Alps. is more than songs.  When I close my eyes while listening to them I can almost feel the scenery passing by.  Want You Now in particular makes me feel like being somewhere on a mountain pasture (Alps.?) and it's my perfect waking up song after a stressy week or a heavy night. I already had the privilege to see them perfom live and what a show that was ! Go check them out if you get the chance.
