I do so love unique bands, and Larkin Brigade is tops in that category.  You can see their Wicked Liquored Up video on  YouTube.  It used to be on their MySpace page, but seems to have disappeared.

This really is one of the best videos I’ve seen, though I’m not entirely certain what zombies are doing in an “upscale downtown Irish pub”, or why the bouncer is a nun in a mini-skirt, but hell.  That’s what makes Larkin Brigade so great!

Gotta love YouTube.  Where else can you find a music video by an awesome band and plop it right into your blog?  Unfortunately, I can’t get the embed to work through WordPress, so I’ll have to link.   Enjoy!

I wouldn’t call this the best song I’ve ever heard, and the woman can’t dance.  She does however have a great voice and, well, it’s pretty good.  If you’re into progressive trance, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRyqLooL2rs

Before I started BandVox.com I was debating between actually starting a website, or starting a blog.  In the end I chose to start a website because (among other things) I didn’t like the way blogs archive.  I wanted old reviews to be easy to find, since people who don’t listen to the Top 40 probably don’t care if an album is the newest, just so long as it’s good.  And, of course, if I only reviewed albums, posts would be long and far in between.  If I wrote more than just reviews, the reviews could get buried under all of the other commentary.

 So, after debating for a month or so between choosing a website or a blog, I chose a website.  Three months later, I’m starting a blog.  

 Now, it’s not that I changed my mind.  Far from it.  There are things that I can do on BandVox.com that I can’t do on here, or that I can at least do easier on the site.  But now I’ve found that when there’s a little something to add, or if there is something that I’d like to recommend or mention that is outside of our genre, I’d like a spot that’s a little more informal to talk about it in.  Enter The Blog.  (I now have “beware of the blog, it creeps, and leaps, and glides, and slides across the floor” running through my head.  If you know why, please comment.  I know why, but I suspect that many people do not.)

 Here at The Blog I’ll be posting about individual songs that I like, out-of-genre songs/albums/videos that I would be happy to recommend, and anything else that seems fitting.  And over at BandVox.com, I’ll keep the reviews coming.

Testing, testing.  This post is only a test, in the event of a real emergency, we will ask you to roll down your windows and scream for help.  This is only a test.
