Explorations: Hoedown


Original video located here. Accessed 25th January 2013

Song title: Hoedown

Artist: Beaches

Year: 2008

Why I like this song:

So I got that book, 100 Best Australian Albums, and I had a look through out. And one name stood out to me that I had never heard before: Beaches. Apparently they are a five woman guitar instrumental band. Curious I sought out their self-titled album.

And as it turns out, it's exactly what it was: Whilst not a completely instrumental band Beaches still rock hard - perhaps even better than the fellas - and can put in some great guitar work, combing elements from shoegaze and surf rock.. 
Given this is right up my alley, I wonder why I didn't hear of them sooner...
