The Small Body of Françoise

Le Corps Mince de Françoise is another excellent Finnish group that hit a lot of hype online two years ago. Now everyone is just waiting to see what will happen next. As the years went by the girls went to Berlin (where's supposedly a very high profile music scene - everyone knows that the greatest new electro comes always from Paris!). Recently they went  from three main members to two and the hype went with the tide. It's interesting to see can LCMDF prove their worth once again or are they alredy out. Have they been waiting too long with their first album? They made intentionally a very hipster image of themselves, but are we alredy too cool and bored of them? Here is their new video "Ghandi". It´s okay.


A Curiosity: Finnish Bhangra?!

Stumbled across this band Shava that just published their very first album "Betoninen kotimaani" ("My Concrete Homeland") in Finland. Their musicstyle is what I wouldn't call typical Finnish. They play bhangra.
So for an amusing example, listen first to the original stuff and then switch to Shava. Listen to the lyrics in the different languages. Curious isn't it?
