The Blue Van
Live @ Metro, London, 07/12/05
First of all I'd like to recommend the Danish band The blue van to anyone who is really down with garage rock and just can't wait to hear a new band playing this type of music. Personally I think I've heard enough of new 60's sounding garage rock bands to make me wait another twenty years or so until I can start appreciating this genre all over again. I won't listen to The blue van ever again though, if I can help it, but I must admit that their music is a bit better than most of today's so called garage bands, and live they put on a great show. I just wish every second new band that I hear wouldn't play boring sleazy rock'n'roll.
