Totally Shameless Plug No. 00002 - Lost Valentinos

A few years back, I became interested in the Oz music scene, and have found the quality of programming on Triple J to be exemplary. As a subscriber to Triple J’s free new music podcast, the flow of music into my iTunes continues weekly. As can be expected, some I like and some I don’t, and some stick out like a sore thumb, begging for acceptance.

Australia’s Lost Valentinos are one such band. Wikipedia states a quote from the NME describing them as “A skittering shitstorm of punk fury, disco beats and psychedelic excursions, the sonic invention of M83, Can and My Bloody Valentine melding with the panty-poking fun of Wham!, The Pixies and The Human League."

Having released a couple of EP’s, they have just released their debut album. This past summer, they toured Europe and the UK. North America, it seems, has yet to experience them. A quick check on the Hype Machine shows I'm not the only one praising their creative ouput. Be sure to check out their eerie webpage.
