ØSTELLA - EASY TO KEEP

 ØSTELLA - EASY TO KEEP

ØStella, the tenacious Irish-Canadian alt-rock sensation from Edmonton, Alberta, is set to captivate global audiences. She merges Canadian rock tradition, Irish storytelling, and folk music for a mesmerizing sound. As I write this she is on her Who Needs This Tour-tour that already brought her from Canada to Europe. And she is doing this tour ... on her bicycle ! Driven by her passion for sustainability, ØStella's name reflects her commitment to responsible touring (hence the zero). She already covered an astonishing distance of more than 7.000 kilometers from gig to gig and we're still counting.

It was hard to choose a song to put on my little blog, I like them all ! But Easy To Keep is the last song that she released. It's an earworm and I love the video that comes with it. Easy To Keep is a song that comes from ØStella's latest album Skyward. Skyward is the second of two mini albums (Freefall and Skyward) that comprise one larger record, Pendulum State, to be released in 2024 on Dead Doll Records.

I could not be more proud than to announce that she will also come to play at The Black Flamingo on the 9th of December. So don't hesitate to come and see this amazing artist and to shower her with the love and the warmth  that she deserves on her epic journey !


Lyrics :

Suddenly now everything’s different 

From what we were before 

A twisted word carelessly uttered 

We never could afford 

A classic example of my stunning prowess 

To fumble finish lines 

A simple move could soften the blow 

Pull us back from our decline 

 

 I’m a tempting scene when you’re looking in 

But the glitter’s gone once you’re under my skin 

I’m a fickle wind when you need a lift 

I could let you soar or bring you crashing down 

 

I’m not the kind of perfect 

You thought I’d be, no 

I’m not the kind of perfect 

That’s easy, 

 That's easy 

That's easy to keep 

 

Been pacing around, covering distance 

 Trying to bring you back to me 

 Nothing but silence, the doubt in my head 

That’s perfectly deafening 

 

I’m a tempting scene when you’re looking in 

But the glitter’s gone once you’re under my skin 

 I’m a fickle wind when you need a lift 

 I could let you soar or bring you crashing down 

I’m not the kind of perfect 

You thought I’d be, no 

 I’m not the kind of perfect 

That’s easy to keep 

I feel I’m gonna die 

 If I can’t get you close to me at all 

I feel I’m gonna die if I can’t get you close to me at all 

 

Suddenly now everyone’s different from what we were before 

 I’m not the kind of perfect You thought I’d be, no 

 I’m not the kind of perfect 

That’s easy to keep 

I’m not the kind of perfect 

You dreamed up for you, no 

I’m not the kind of perfect 

That’s easy, 

That's easy, 

That's easy to keep

JERRY MOTOR - MARY

Afbeelding
 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

Afbeelding
 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...

THE AX EFFECT - GET WASTED

Afbeelding
 THE AX EFFECT - GET WASTED Dutch band The Ax Effect is back, and they're hitting harder than ever with their latest single, "Get Wasted," straight off their newest album, "Made For This." Hailing from Brabant, these guys are no strangers to blending genres, and "Get Wasted" is a prime example of their unique concoction of hard rock, metal, punk, and just a dash of blues, all fused together to create what they proudly dub as Lumberjack Rock. At the helm of this sonic onslaught is Mathijs Ansems, who not only commands the drums with thunderous precision but also takes on the role of lead vocalist, his gravelly voice serving as the perfect conduit for the band's gritty sound. Alongside him, Bart Kruijssen's guitar work cuts through the air like a buzzsaw, while his backing vocals add layers of intensity to the mix. And holding down the low end with authority is Harrie Van Erp on bass, his driving rhythms forming the backbone of The Ax Effect...
