Guess who’s back, back again….?
It has been a while my friends. This Waffler has been away, working and playing, but not blogging! However, the drought is now over and what better way to kick things off again than with a picture of a waffle?? This particular waffle was purchased from a street-front vendor in Brussels, near to the Christmas market. It was covered in melted Belgian chocolate and tasted AMAZING.
By way of starting in an enthusiastic manner, you’re actually going to get two blog posts this week. (I know this for a fact, because I’ve already written the second one! It didn’t seem appropriate as a starting point though. I mean, there were absolutely no waffles involved at all.) Fancy that eh? Nothing for months and then two come along at once.
It’s like a really, really bad bus service.
I’d like to use this first blog back to share with you one of my favourite discoveries of the past 6 months. It’s a band. And actually, I didn’t discover them so much as have their EP handed to me by a friend who had it going spare. It took me a couple of weeks to get around to moving the CD from my bag to a stereo… but from the moment I did I was entranced and pretty swiftly found myself dancing about with a big grin plastered all over my face.
Ladies and gentlemen may I present… The Steve Bland Assembly!
Clicky on the picky to go to their myspace page and have a listen. The songs are bright, catchy and musically made me think of Ben Folds. Just to warn you though, I Think I’ll Blame The Government will make it’s way inside your head and never ever leave!
One of my favourite songs (Lift Your Feet) isn’t available to listen to on their MySpace at the moment, but you can check it out here.
Hello
Thanks. That’s very nice.
it becomes a minor obsession to try to work out the connection.
It’s hard to explain why, but as an unheard of band/musician who assumes only their friends like their music, it’s a joy to stumble across lovely words like these from strangers. And when there’s no obvious link to how they could have found out about us (despite some serious Blog-stalking
Therefore if you were to drop me an email explaining who your friend is that gave you the EP I will be able to sleep at night and in return send you another cd with other tracks and some nice bonus things for free. Deal?
