Oh yes. On July 28th and 29th, The Ordinary Boys, The Proclaimers, The Holloways, The Noisettes and more acts to be announced, will play for the Ben & Jerry’s Festival, Sundae On The Common.

The event will take place in London at Clapham Common and is expected to include ‘a concoction of music, great activities and loads of free ice cream’.

Sounds amazing to me. Additional info on the Sundae Festival can be found on Ben & Jerry’s official UK site.

MP3: The Noisettes – The Count Of Monte Christo

“Shingai howls and soothes, gives you goose bumps and shoots soul into your main arteries.” This is the desciption of Noisettes frontwoman, Shingai Shoniwa, that the band gives in their online bio. Those fifteen words couldn’t be any more on target.

For forty-five minutes, The Noisettes injected fire into the packed house at Mercury Lounge yesterday evening. Highlighting most of their debut LP, What’s The Time Mr. Wolf? (check out The Music Slut review of that album here), The Noisettes achieved a rare feat – amping up a stereotypically indifferent crowd into a total frenzy.

The energy last night reminded me of those very early Yeah Yeah Yeahs shows right around the time that their first EP was making the rounds.

It’s hard to believe that all the raw power and intensity that emanates from The Noisettes core sound is attained with just 3 members. The trio’s simple combination of guitar bass & drums somehow allows The Noisettes to outshine nearly all other buzzed-to-exhaustion post-punk bands this side of their fifteen minutes.

The band will embark on a summer tour around North America with Bloc Party. Check out all those dates and learn more about The Noisettes over at the band’s MySpace page.

MP3: The Noisettes – Don’t Give Up

The Noisettes are rapidly becoming the next British buzz band, and with good reason. The band’s soulful yet alarmingly hook laden tunes demand your full attention on the band’s debut LP, What’s The Time Mr. Wolf? The Lonon-based trio is probably most discussed, at this early point in their career, for frontwoman (and bassist) Shingai Shoniwa’s unique vocal stylings.

Often illustrated as the bastard child of Karen O and Billie Holiday (although I personally hear a tinge of PJ Harvey thrown in there as well), Shingai’s singing voice is a breath of fresh air amongst the sea of male-fronted post-punkers all over your (and my) iTunes playlists. Internet critic, Music Emissions, went so far as to say that Shingai has “the widest and most commanding female range in this modern era.” As far as the music itself is concerned, the heavy guitar riffs and the three-minute timestamp on the majority of Wolf, is particularly reminiscent of Music Slut faves – Sons & Daughters. Though the line-up is a rather conventional combination of guitar, bass and drums, there’s something about this record that truly puts itself in its own league.

Take a listen to Wolf‘s second track below and judge for yourself. Our suggestion – play it LOUDLY.
