Out From Under the Umbrella

I loved the New Natives! Definitely could have been written by the Davies brothers!! Great stuff!! While I love YouTube for tracking down loads of old favorites I grew up with, I love it even more for the scads of seriously talented musicians out there who upload videos and would otherwise be unknown. What a coincidence, I have been checking out a very imaginative, unknown band from somewhere in Oregon just before I came to this site. YouTube – what a time sink!

Hop around? Are you aiming that at me? Bad as Ark calling me Hopalong!
One of my meagre claims to fame is that I saw The Kinks at Liverpool Empire when I was at university. Fave record has to be Lola though.

Saw them in Gib in 2009. Joined all the other tight arses standing in the street outside and jigging around. I thought they were good. I like LOUD Quo.

I saw them in 75/6′?
I am pretty sure they were ‘fresher’ back then.

New Natives. Not too shabby at all! Very ‘tight’ and good production.
Always cool to have a rock star in the family, right? 🙂

No, they’re not too bad. And they’re getting some good attention, too. They tour around fairly locally on weekends but they’ve gotten some pretty good gigs!
