Waikiki

[Kieran McConville]

Waikiki, not only an island, also a band. Tell me you love them.

Including such gems as Ms Universe, Here Comes September, and New Technology. And no, I'm not taking the piss, although I wouldn't normally listen to this kind of breezy pop music. Juanita Stein's voice is delightful.

At the very least, I expect to hear from you, Betty.

Also, Alex Lloyd's new song is tops. Gosh, I am turning soft in my old age. Next thing you know, I'll be grooving to the Beach Boys.

I could love them. If they're anything like Alex Lloyd in terms of style, I think I'd safely bet no though.
They're not new are they.

i liked "here comes september"

 

[cujo]

Only will I venture a listen if it is an encore performance of Waikiki... Hockey.

Waikiki: not an island. In fact, I am about 15 minutes from there...should be hittting the beach again soon!

Damn you and your smilies I can't see!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oops.

: lol :

 

[Kieran McConville]

Well Angie, to answer your unspoken question, no, they do not sound like Alex Lloyd, and yes, they are new. Fairly new, I suppose. They have one album.

 

[Saracene]

I really liked "Here Comes September" and "New Technology". I'd get their album if there wasn't a massive line of other artists' albums queuing in front,

Alex Lloyd is a pass though; that sensitive moaning of his doesn't do much for me.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

they must be aussie!

 

[Kieran McConville]

Yes! They are Aussie!

I don't know why people dislike Alex Lloyd so; with the exception of that awful song 'Amazing', his work is really really tight. Excellent tunes and arrangements, and as for sensitive moaning, I dunno about that. He has his own style. I'm not generally a fan of sensitive moaning.

 

[Saracene]

I don't dislike Alex Lloyd, I just think that his music is pretty generic and dullish. And he did an absolutely hideous cover of "Mysterious Ways".

 

[brettig]

Look them up on allmusic.com. they come up as 'world music' ! I think I'll be seeing them when they open for Ben Lee here later this year.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

yes i thought that was fairly amusing

if they're as good as the mighty 1200 techniques i might even like them

 

[Kieran McConville]

Believe me when I say that missing the Three Bens in concert will always be the great regret of my life.

Hello Betty.

World music, indeed. Pffft.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Yes! They are Aussie!

This is a contradiction I previously did not get (not really thinking that his 'Amazing' would ever be your cup of tea). Amazing is a pile of pig trough gruel. So with your assertation it sucks basketballs through a garden hose, I am resting assured the rest of his stuff must be better.

I went looking for Waikiki and found nothing. Damn these subpoenas preventing people from sharing.

Greedy selfish bastards.

hrmph.
