New Music = Noon:30

Noon:30 @ Galapagos Art space, 
12/30/10(first N.Y.C show)
Pulsating, hard-hitting vibrations, carried along
a tough, smooth, gentle voice (Blue on vocals),
brings you in and never
lets you go. This is-
"French song", one of four
powerful tracks that await you,
dear reader, on "And so it is"
Noon:30's smash EP.

I  first heard their wondrous
sound @ my friend Jeanee'
apt/studio space back in Nov
of 2010. The sound was amazing, reminded me of
Elastica and Skunk Anansie.



I hadn't been that excited about new music since I heard Mattafix and Amy Winehouse. Every once in while something really exciting
comes along that isn't really known, but damn sure will be. 
Noon:30  is three beautiful young women, Vivianne on drums/visuals, Aissa on guitar, bass and electronic sound, and  Blue on vocals and bass. They have quite a bit to say and oh so many ways to say it. "Absynthe" is a far reaching song probing down and about some where memories float about,  like wispy left behinds of a warm bong. 

Its the sirens call that brings you out into the night looking for love. Their music has a slight punk quality with a little tech and a deep resonating personal feeling. They strike a major chord when listened to so give it a go. You can find their CD on Amazon, CDbaby, or I-tunes, and for all the kid kid, kiddies who love retro-futuristic images, the teddy bear illustration for the cover is way cool. Look for them on reverbnation. Stay Sharp, stay up, stay listening and don't let the man get you down.

Nice job, a little light on info but big on feeling and emotion. I love it when I get into an not-so well known band that really good. I might have to take a listen to their EP.
