Campus A Low Hum 2010

Hi all, apologies for the delay.

At the end of January I had the grand pleasure of attending Campus A Low Hum 2010. I can't say enough good things about it, and you should definitely try to attend next year, if you have any way of getting to New Zealand, etc.

A couple of highlights:

Gaywyre

The heaviest of metals, from Wellington, New Zealand




So So Modern

This was one of the first songs I heard when I got to the Camp. It made me think of what it might sound like if Justice did a cover of Eye Of The Tiger. They're also from Wellington, New Zealand



AND - (not related to Camp a Low Hum)

I just last night was told about a band called Surfer Blood. They are literally blowing my brain right now...

Gaywyre - Battleshark (buy the EP)

So So Modern - Berlin (apparently "Crude Futures" is not yet available in the USA. But do buy it if you're in NZ or the UK)

Surfer Blood - Swim (buy the album)
