Take Your Moon Shoes to Boogie Land

France, funk, jazz, videos No Responses »

Mar 262012

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I love watching the legendary Soul Train dance line. Those guys were avant-garde trendsetting pre-hipster hipsters and utter fashion freak show train wrecks all at the same time. And now the line has a new soundtrack thanks to MoonShoes (aka Gilles Paulet). Frenchman Gilles Paulet truly is the author and finisher of this funky disco soul hymn entitled “Boogieland” acting as producer, composer, arranger, performer and mixer. So pull out your platform shoes, strut your bell-bottomed trousers and don your clashing-patterned top and get your groove on as you take a ride back to the ’70s to find your inner funk.

London’s Capelle and Their Cool Vibe

genre: electro | alt-rock
label: unsigned

What happens when a classic 60′s/70′s vibe collides with indie-alt-rock? Capelle happens. These blokes from London beautifully mix hard rock guitars with urban beats and vibrant vocals. The result is a brilliant new disc entitled Money Now, Money How, Money When. One of the things that we are constantly on the look out for here at Froglix is the “it” factor. However, the “it” factor can be different things to different people. For us, it’s talented musicians with a truly unique sound that can translate equally well both in studio and on stage. Nic Capelle (lead vocals) and his compadres (Fotis – lead guitar, Quinton – bass, Kris – drums, and Sven – backing vocals and keys) really do pull “it” off smashingly well. In addition to the teaser video above, we have included (2) additional tracks to the global broadcast. While we really dig Capelle, we’d much rather hear what you think.
