WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: we were evergreen - leeway

we were evergreen - leeway
filling me with pure joy ever since my friend alice tipped me on the band a few weeks back, this UK based parisian trio offer up retro infused pop that remind me of one of my favorite bands of all time; fairground attraction. innocent and sentimental with sweet harmonies that just bring a smile to your face, these guys are definitely on my radar for bands to watch for 2013!

retro wongie: fairground attraction

fairground attraction - the moon is mine / c'mon get happy (live in japan)
[feeling nostalgic for a second and thought i'd share with you one of my all time favorite songs from my all time favorite band, like EVER! in college, i kind of adopted their one and only proper release, a first of a million kisses as a personal blueprint. filled with romantic hope and dreams, the album still remains as a classic in my mind. if you've never heard of them, you should go and get the album, like, yesterday!]


eddi reader - kiteflyer's hill (live in japan 2002)
[the story behind this is that ex-fairground attraction singer eddi reader wrote this song with her ex-boyfriend (and ex-collaborator), mark e. nevin, in mind. the song speaks for itself and this performance just shows you how amazing eddi's voice is]
