Soundaholic's Pick - 13.6.07

hey whats good?

i've been messing with my site for the past hour and blogger is totally different since the last time i used it. anyways...lets get started.



Dragonette is a four piece band from Canada but is now based in the UK. I came accross them while surfing through Discogs earlier this year and its star attraction is undoubtedly its lead singer, Martina Sorbara. After reading up on em, found out that Martina's dad is a conservative politician in Canada and he seems to despise her for being in the band. (Martina's a clean soulful solo singer/songwriter before she adopted the current raunchy image in Dragonette)

Their second single from their debut album "Galore" is "Take It Like A Man." Sounds like good ol' electro-pop, kinda sweet and danceable but not too overwhelming. However, the music video is definately gona turn some heads. Filmed in a retro 60's-ish kinda way (theres this Judy Garland, Grace Kelly texture to it), it depicts a porno-film set where Martina gets it rough with her co-actors. They then zoom in on the comical expressions of all the other people in the set. Simply genius! haha.

So here it is, its got a 18 above only rating in Youtube so i don't know how this is gona work out. cheers.
