NB: (we've been blogging a lot about music recently, but we promise we'll be bringing you more posts from other artistic avenues soon - probably after music week)
We introduce you now to a band from Hereford, England: The Anomalies
I came across this band by complete fluke over the summer. I 
was chilling in London, and a friend from home came up to visit and wanted to go to a gig. I had never ventured to Bristol so I went online to see what was happening out west on the night she'd be visiting. I found a pair of cheap tickets for a show in a small, sweaty, grime dodge of a club. Perfect way to show my friend a night on the town in the UK. The tickets of course were to watch The Anomalies ('twas an awesome and interactive gig, I was floored by their talent and their sound.)
They've finally announced a release date for their full length debut album, Free Soup Social, and I am SOOO "chuffed" (Brit slang for excited). Their sound is a mash-up of just about everything. They dabble in the big band swing sound, free-style hip hop, "indie" rock, electro-punk. I mean, if the term "genre-less" were to ever apply to a band... it would definitely be to them. British media has had trouble defining their sound, unsure of whether they are a guitar laced hip-hop group, or a rock band that free-styles. 'We wanted to be hip hop when we started, but because we didn't really know what we were doing, we ended up with something quite weird,' they tell Metro News UK.
The two front men, Goldseal and Mouthmaster Murf make up 2/5th of the indie/rap talent. Goldseal brings the vocals and the guitar, while Murf brings the rap and the synth. DJ Mayhem cuts. Joey Holmes is on sticks and Peter Copper helps out on Bass.
"When they play live, The Anomalies perform as a six-piece band featuring a DJ, drummer, beatboxer and bass player. The show-stopper is a freestyle segment where Murf and Goldseal rhyme about random objects offered by the crowd."- Metro News UKWe LOVE LOVE LOVE them... and want you to LOVE LOVE LOVE them too.
(Trust... it is a show-stopper...I passed up my TFL Oyster card and almost didn't get it back... scariest moment of my life!)
Peace-

lol. good stuff
Good... we're glad. They have a beastie boys vibe.
The players would begin as members of the SCA, going to Phoenix for
the Estrella War. At the end of the party all of the papers write
down who they think was the prohibition agent. I hope you have fun planing a
birthday party for your tween, I hope my birthday party ideas for tween's helped you.

Also, we need to determine the rounds of the quiz according to it.
Anna had been looking through my phone while I was naked.
The food is decent and the drink specials on Tuesdays include $2.
Look at my weblog ... pub quiz area
DJ spins out on Saturday nights. Brazenhead is a great place to go
with your family or for a business lunch
or dinner, but if you are looking for a party atmosphere,
this isn't it. The buccal cavity is a small cavity that has neither jaws nor teeth.
