This is NOT a review about the movie V for Vendetta. Although I heard it was a decent movie.I find it amazing how work conversation leads to my eternal search for music. We were talking about Star Wars trivia one day (because we are those kinds of geek) and I recalled a band that I heard of a few months back. The hook was of course their name. I decided to finally listen to the band and was pleasantly surprised. I went on blip.fm and found this song. Again the name was the hook.
If the band's name didn't clue you in, a mashup of electro, pop, new wave, and synthetic '80s chart sounds, augmented by goofy lyrics about beard maintenance and other Net-generation concerns puts Natalie Portman's Shaved Head on the flippant side of things. And to pretty great effect, too, on the band's 2008 debut, Glistening Pleasure.-Adrian Mack Straight.com:
There is a definite something about this band. Maybe it's the quirkiness of the songs, or the nostalgia, or just the attitude they project. But you know there is some kind of awesome when they got to play with Duran Duran during the Fourth of July weekend this year.
If you want to check them out, they will be playing at the Crocodile Cafe on July 9 for the Seattle locals. Otherwise go to their blog to see the most current tour dates at http://natalieportmansshavedhead.blogspot.com/
