They done it again: Play It By Ear book Jupiter & Bodebrixen

Tomorrow night we are supposed to be going to some Scottish people's house to eat some haggis and talk about our neaps and tatties, but we might have to put the kilts back in the wardrobe because Play It By Ear Club have once again gone and booked an amazing line up.

First of all you get RobotPigeon favourites Jupiter bringing their French disco pop to Camden. This French man and French lady are the very definition of funky. The French lady does the vocals and the French man plays funny instruments like a keyboard on a string.

Jupiter's music is jaunty and danceable, uptempo and retro, without ever being derivative or repetative. My God that was almost something approaching real journalism. Ignore that and listen to their cover of Junior's 'Mama Used To Say' which tells you everything you need to know about them.



Then, as if seeing Jupiter wasn't le glaçage sur le gâteau, you get the pleasure of Bodebrixen. They are a Danish man and another Danish man. According to their myspace they met at a summer school for Jazz musicians, but WAIT, COME BACK. Their music is more We're From Barcelona / Ok Go than Duke Ellington / Chet Baker.

Their video for Clock Radio is wonderful (although they need to put some clothes on as those Long Johns leave very little to the imagination...)



Is it just us, or is there something very '80s sex education video' about that? Anyway, we also really like their tracks 'Deadman' and 'Year Is Dying', and we think we might be falling a bit in love with Mr Bode and Mr Brixen.

Well done Play It By Ear. Once again you have put together a very exciting line up and caused a clash in our social diary which will no doubt lead to us making up some awful excuses about dead relatives.

We will insert some mysapce links here for Jupiter, Bodebrixen and Play It By Ear Club.
