Bands To Watch In '09 - Vol 2

Sooo, first off...apologies for the one month absence! I know all our die hard followers must have been struggling to survive without our wonderful insight into the world of new music!! I have 2 excuses, 1 - 2 Jobs (doesn't leave alot of spare time to be just blogging around), and 2 - I purchased some decks (all of the spare time I've had has been consumed by mixing my own pretty awesome but also pretty ordinary tunes!)
annnyway...back to the music...

THE TEMPER TRAP




Though I've mentioned it before, I can't stress this enough - The Temper Trap are set to have a MASSIVE 2009. They promised alot a couple of years back with a self-titled EP which earned them much local acclaim, but after the release of epic single Sweet Disposition last year and their subsequent inclusion on BBC's Sound of 2009, the Melbourne band are in for some much greater acclaim this year. The band are set to showcase their enormo-indie (thanks NME) at SXSW this month after a few dates in the UK and then they'll be back in Oz for the V Festivals.
