Friday Night Videos – White Denim, Robyn Hitchcock, Ha Ha Tonka
June 26th, 2009
White Denim is from Austin, Texas, and this song is from their new album Fits that you can’t buy in the U.S. right now.
I found about them by reading a review of the new album in the July issue of Mojo Magazine where their sound was described as “Cranium-melting Texan galactic punk/funk” worthy of a four-star rating. That makes me want to buy the album, but I can’t.
Here’s the video for “I Start to Run.”
Robyn Hitchcock was a favorite of mine back in the eighties. Here he is performing “Brenda’s Iron Sledge” on a 1985 airing of the BBC program Whistle Test.
Ha Ha Tonka’s video of “Caney Mountain” from their 2007 album, Buckle in the Bible Belt.
