Django Django

One of my favourite things about writing a blog is people recommending new bands to me. My uncle told me about this band called Django Django (I want to claim that I discovered this band myself as they're so cool, but don't think I could get away with it as Uncle Jem reads my blog).

They are a four piece band from Scotland, which is evident in the vocals in their songs, as they harmonise beautifully with a hint of the Scottish accent.

I recently read an article describing something called the 'Gossip Effect'. This is referring to the fact that if your song is played on an episode of Skins, then it is A. probably an awesome song, and B. going to be a big success. This comes from the fact that The Gossips 'Standing in the way of control' went on to be a massive hit after being played on the first series of the show. A recent example of this is Azealia Banks' '212', which was played at the beginning of the first episode of this series, and can now be heard all over the place. Django Django's 'Default' was also played in this series, and I'm now beginning to hear it more and more, for example on last weeks Made in Chelsea.

As well as 'Default', check out 'Love's dart' and 'WOR'. Some of their songs do vary in style, but it's what makes them so unique.

Django Django are starting their UK tour the end of this month, kicking off in Southampton. They are also playing at The Great Excape Festival; Brighton, Field Day Festival; London and Parklife Festival in Manchester. So don't miss out, as they are probably worth seeing whilst still playing small gigs, before they go onto the arena tours!
