Ragged & Ecstatic


'the ragged and ecstatic joy of pure being.'
- Jack Kerouac, 'On The Road'

This quote actually inspired the name of Yves Klein Blue's debut album which has just been released. I saw them at Oxford Art Factory last weekend and they were fantastic. The band has a great sense of showmanship and the lead singer is particularly charismatic as he brings the songs to life with exaggerated facial expressions. It's great to hear new music that's well-crafted and different, with witty lyrics. Deep Sea Arcade and Philadelphia Grand Jury played first, and they were also impressive.
