Griff says; Could Nicely Dressed be 'the one'?
Hello pop-pickers. So, you're looking for a brand new indie-pop band to champion, are you? Someone fresh, young and resolutely poppy but with a slightly gauche touch that gives the music the little edge that just adds to the charm. Well, you've come to the right place. I'll admit it, I had originally intended witing about an established indie artist who you would have liked for sure, but whom you could have read about on a dozen other indie-pop blogs. As you should know by now, that's just not the Streetlamp way. No, we believe it's our duty to bring you those artists that you might otherwise have missed.
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen I give you 'Nicely Dressed'; a trio of unseasoned young musicians from East Flanders in Belgium. The band comprises of; Laura Deschepper: Vocals, Piano, Guitar & Songwriting, Anton De Boes: Drum, Bass, Guitar, Piano & Songwritingand Tim Vanderbeke: Guitar. They have one song on their myspace page and one song on Bandcamp and in both cases it's the deliriously chipper little number 'If I Could Be the One'. Have a listen (below) and then take the opportunity to help yourself to the free download. I really don't know much about this lot but I firmly believe that if they can keep knocking out songs of this quality then we'll be hearing a lot more about them, not least here on the Streetlamp. Remember, you heard it here first!
The Streetlamp blog covers music, art, culture and politics from a socialist, anti-consumerist, green perspective. It is curated by former members of the Scottish Lo-fi band ~Sighrens~ with help from our film-making friend Ray. Each of us involved in producing content for this blog occupy a special niche. Ray will be responsible for the video content. Gordon will be sharing his love and encyclopaedic knowledge of Indie-pop as well as classic Punk and 60s music ( particularly Garage and obscure Psychedelic Pop). Griff's special areas of interest are Lo-fi, Indie-folk, Bedroom-pop, Outsider music, Pop-punk and Hip-hop. Hopefully, there'll be something for anyone with an interest in genuine independent music. Our wider intention is not just to promote our favourite artists, but to also help and support those who allow their music to be listened to, streamed or downloaded for free. If you share our passions, or if you are a like-minded band or artist then please feel free to contribute or to link your own page to our Blog. Our aim is to create a community free from the restrictions enforced by the greedy corporate shysters.
