LCMDF

LCMDF are the Finnish Emma and Mia Kemppainen. If a bell is ringing, it could well be that you recognise this duo as two thirds of 2008's gnarliest electro merchants Le Corps Mince de Françoise. But after a streamlining of both moniker and line-up, the bandit mask face-paint is no more and this time the vibeometer has been clicked firmly onto heady good-times. With a sudden synth stab there is an eruption of technicolor energy and somehow the world is just feeling a much poppier place.

The WOO!worths

Thanks for stopping by. This is the bit where you learn about The Woo!worths. Two friends, obsessed with music and a love for making new sounds, formed the band in 2006. They compose music which has many ever-changing influences and believe experimentation is at the heart of all great Pop music. They use samplers and computers to help get the sounds out of their heads but are far from being electro-geek-knob twiddlers and their songs are mostly written on acoustic guitar.
