Video Find: The Moons
You may recall a while back, The Modern Republic did a spotlight on The Moons frontman, Andy Crofts. Well it looks like they are back in the studio working hard on a new record and with a new EP due out in October. We're hoping we'll be able to catch back up with Andy and Chris again soon and bring you up to dates with their future plans.
In the meantime, visit The Moons on Myspace.

Video Find: Parklife
I've been obsessing over the live recordings of Blur from this year's Glastonbury Festival and their show from Hyde Park. Mainly what I've really enjoyed is after all these years, the amount of energy they brought. Secondly, its truly amazing to see an adult Phil Daniels on the stage giving it his all like Jimmy Cooper on the stage for Parklife. This video was from the BBC in 1994. If you get a chance to check out a video of Hyde Park or Glastonbury, do yourself a favor. Glastonbury was filmed professionally by the BBC and is floating around the net. In the meantime, you can grab this audio recording from Hyde Park on the 3rd of July 2009.

Video Find: The Secret Affair
Another great video of another great Mod Revival band The Secret Affair.
Video Find: The Solution
Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters/Entombed), and Scott Morgan (Rationals, Hydromatics & Sonic Rendevous Band) team up for one of the more authentic soul sounds you'll hear post 1970. The Solution's second record Communicate topped off where their previous album Will Not Be Televised (2007) left off...Track after track of soulful, musical bliss. Check out Would You Change Your Mind from their newest release Communicate (2008).

Video Find: Blur (On the Reunion)
I'm really excited about this. We must not forget how class this band was.
Here's The Universal:
Video Find: The Cute Lepers
"Equally influenced by first wave punk, mod - revival, power pop, and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders" is how The Cute Lepers describe themselves on their Facebook and Myspace pages, I found this band to be a wonderful breath of fresh air, taking all the little bits of music I enjoy and mixing it together. Their guitars are raw, and rock, their songs are pop and memorable, and their is an attitude to it that seems to have been lost in a lot of punk music since the 70s. They hail from Seattle, Washington and come from the ashes of The Briefs.
I recently discovered this great band while I was in LA. I was driving for days, which is the typically miserable lifestyle of a California native, but I was fortunate in that my rental car came equipped with Sirius Satellite Radio. I found myself listening mostly to Little Steven's Underground Garage. Over the span of about 4 days, I found myself hearing at least 5 different songs from their recently released album Can't Stand Modern Music. It made my travels not seem as bad. I was able to pick up the record, and was pleasantly satisfied that the album was great even beyond the five songs I had heard. Even more than that, I was so excited that they covered Opening Up by late 70s English Mod-Revival band The Circles. I love love this cut and have also wanted to play a version of it for years. Their version is wonderful, as is their album. It appears you can still order their album on Pink Vinyl here, so check it out, and also check out the original MP3 from The Cirlces below. Hopefully we'll have more to come with The Cute Lepers in the near future.

The Specials Reunite for UK Tour

After months of speculation, the Specials have confirmed they will be reforming for a 2009 tour. Singer Terry Hall told NME that the ska legends will be reuniting next year to celebrate 30 years since they first had a UK Top 10 hit. He said: "It's the right time to [reunite]. We talked about it at 25 but we weren't together enough. Now we're all getting on and it feels comfortable again."
Hall confirmed that Neville Staple, Roddy Radiation, Sir Horace Gentleman, John Bradbury and Lynval Golding, all original members, would be taking part in the reunion. Jerry Dammers will not be involved because he "doesn't want to tour". However, Hall added: "I think he wants to do stuff ... so the door is definitely not closed."
Hints that this seminal British band would be reuniting began in March, when Hall told the BBC that the criteria for the band reforming was, "do it with dignity or don't do it at all". Both he and Specials guitarist Lynval Golding joined Lily Allen on stage at Glastonbury 2007 for a rendition of their song Blank Expression.
Hall has said he can't wait to play old favourites: "I'm looking forward to playing Ghost Town. Stereotype will also be fun and I think we might be doing Maggie's Farm too."

Birmingham Academy (25, 26)
