9.2.14 THE WAVE PICTURES

Now I found out about these righteous dudes about three years ago when my lovebucket introduced them to me. The WAVE PICTURES. Consisting of David Tattersall on vocals and geetar, Franic Rozycki on the bass guitar, and Jonny Helm on drums, whom also has a buddahful singing voice. These boys have been around for decades with their charming romanticism and trickful licks. They have five self released albums and seven with Moshi Moshi [who also deal with such cool cats as Lykke Li, Bloc Party, Hot Chip and Florence & the Machine]

I achoolly just saw a gig of theirs in Brighton lastnight, and had a cheeky chat with David Tattersall. He is an absolute snake charmer, and too cool for his own good. I remember when I saw him back in Chicago at Schubas and asked him to sign something for my boyfriend. And he just replied

'how could I possibly write something to someone I don't know. It'd be an empty n' false message to a stranger, plus he could be a twat' [[take note, this is total paraphrasing, this was two years ago after a few too many brewskies]]

That night they also stopped halfway through the gig realising they didn't have a place to stay and asked if they could crash someones pad. Fuckin' class.

Basically, these guys are well worth knowing. I love 'em to bits. Here's some clips of the show last night, as well as some youtubeage.

Get involved folks, you really don't wanna miss out on this one.

And some of their own music videos to give you a better picture, nom nom nom

If you wanna hear more from the dudes mouths, I found a sweet little interview with them on Muso's Guide.
