The Vines are a garage rock band from Sydney, Australia. Making a fucking racket since 1994 they have recorded six albums together. The Vines are similar to The Hives, The Von Bondies and The Subways. They are influenced by The Kinks, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age. Get Free is the second single from their debut album Highly Evolved (2002), both their most commercially and critically popular album. NME voted Highly Evolved their second most popular album of the year and Pitchfork described Get Free as starting “with a riff that sounds like revving up a lawnmower” and having an “extra catchy bridge tacked on to make it an even bigger hit.” Get Free is two minutes of no-nonsense garage rock'n'roll.

Piano Club are an indie electro-pop band from Belgium. Started in 2007 they have one album, an E.P. and a single to their names. Piano Club are influenced by bands like E.L.O. Blondie, Yeasayer, MGMT and Metronomy. Ain't No Mountain High (2012) is from the E.P. of the same name and is not a Marvin Gaye cover. Ain't No Mountain High brings Californian sunshine indie, like The Mowglis, to space synths in a marriage of extreme convenience. Special.

Wind in my hair, but you’re not there”
