J- Current obsession: Yves Klein Blue

If you haven't heard of Australian band, Yves Klein Blue, then please stop thinking about what you are going to have for lunch, or how to awesomify yourself for that boy who sits next to you in class (thats what I think about most of the time..), and focus on the next few paragraphs. You wont regret it. Promise.

So, once upon a time 4 young Brisbane boys- Michael Tomlinson, Sean Cook, Chris Banham, and Charles Sale- decided to get together and make some music. Since those early days, they have adopted the name Yves Klein Blue, played a gazillion gigs at home in Oz, as well as around the world, and, in June 2009, released their (incredibly flawless) debut album Ragged & Ecstatic . And they are only just getting started!! Hopefully, in a few years time, the constantly growing Australian fan base will have gone global. These guys deserve it, they really do, with their quirky indie-punk sound, their witty lyrics, and the amazing ability frontman, Michael Tomlinson, has to make one song fun and carefree and the next completely meaningful and raw with feeling.

Check out the link below to have a listen to my favourite YKB track, About the Future, then go and buy the album Ragged & Ecstatic!! Hek, you could even download it too. Why? Why not, I always say. ENJOY.
