Music- Wolf Gang (A Band I Really Want to See at SXSW)

Forget that this British band’s name is Wolf Gang. Forget that there are four hundred other bands with the word “wolf” in it or that Phoenix’s last album was titled “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”.

‘Cause this guy is really good.
Like makes me feel like I’m the subject of a Bret Easton Ellis novel, watching the sun go down in Santa Monica with my Wayfarers on good.
This single has car commercial/episode of ‘Gossip Girl’/played on American Apparel’s Viva Radio written all over it. I have a feeling he’s going to be big over here in America.
Perfect blend of British 80’s synth pop and LA indie scene.

You can hear more music here.

Check out the video for “The King And All of His Men”.

    Sounds like Mew a little bit. I like it. I'm with you. I think they'll probably be big–big like the Ting Tings or something borderline commerical like that.

    Have you ever read "The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing"? You have that sound to your writing. I like it. A. Lot.

    Phoenix with a British accent, but I dig.

    For the record, my favorite wolf is Sea Wolf.

    I remember seeing something about this band the other day, but I never really thought about checking out their sound. Thanks for posting. It's pretty cool.

    Hopefully he'll do some more shows in the US besides SXSW.
