Recently I had the pleasure of attending a Ben Folds concert at Pittsburgh's Club Zoo. I had no prior knowledge of an opening act being there, so I was pleasantly surprised when indie pop powerhouse Lady Danville took the stage and blew my mind. Here are five reasons why you should listen to Lady Danville.
1. Their music is SO FUN - I had no choice but to dance when they started strumming their first song. Their music is incredibly easy to groove to.
2. Their lyrics are easy to learn and sing along to - After hearing the first chorus of their song "Spoon" I felt like I had listened to the song a million times before. That catchiness makes their music feel like a warm welcome home into their world.
3. They have keys - I am a sucker for any band that utilizes a keyboard, and Lady Danville uses it to their very best advantage. Their music's happy pop feel is enhanced by the playfulness of the keys.
4. They can croon like there is no tomorrow - The sweet tones of their vocals knocked me off my feet. Their song "Sophie Roux" exhibits this trait. Don't fight it if you instantly form a crush on the band post-listening.
5. They sound like the love child of Ben Folds and A Fine Frenzy - Need I say more?
Check out this video of their divine song "The Uke Song." What do you think of Lady Danville?
And for good measure, here is the music video for "Sophie Roux." *Sigh,* so cute.
Thank you for reading. Shuffle on.
They are different, pretty cool! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're even cooler live, and super nice to talk to. My boyfriend was so impressed with them that he wanted to buy their CD, and the band members were running the merch table so we got to meet them. I think they are just too adorable haha :)
