Man alikes. Motorspycho

[andy1]

Just thought I'd put forward the Norwegian band Motorpsycho.

They play a guitar orientated retro style of psychedelia and I would recommend everyone to listen to their 'Love Cult' release.  On first hearing all I could think of was the Man band circa Back to the Future.  Metronomic drumming and tight vocal harmonies with guitars ploughing the astral highs.

Well worth investigating

I haven't listened to it yet as it was still downloading when I left for work this morning.

I cycle past Rosendal Kino on the way to work every day....

They frequently play around these parts, but have never bothered checking them out. Maybe I'll have to now...
