Bands We Like Now That People Will Like Soon Part 4


Danger
French electronic artist Danger, effortlessly straddles the middle ground between Kavinsky's 80s action film soundscapes and SebastiAn's relentless club bangers with his cut-up style electro beats, catchy hooks and staying power.

The 23 year old, who represents himself as a cartoon action hero has been making music for 7 years, and is starting to have an impact both online and in the clubs. Signed to Ekleroshock, his recently released debut EP, 09/14 2007 featured an extra-crunchy DatA remix of current dance floor weapon, 11h30. 2008 should be an interesting year for this innovative musician.

Vampire Weekend
American indie-pop misfits Vampire Weekend have already attracted a storm of critical acclaim with their fusion of British pop and Afro-beat sounds, with both Q Magazine and the BBC naming them as an act to look out for in 2008.

With a huge following aided by the circulation of their Blue CD-R on the Internet, tales of an energetic live show and a well-received self-titled 3 track EP, all that remains to see is if they’ll live up to their hype in 2008.
