Gotye's band: The Basics (free album download)

_

So apparently the guy (Wally De Backer) who does solo stuff under the name Gotye is also in a band in Australia called The Basics. Have y'all heard of them or, better yet, anyone ever seen them live? I can't stop listening! Their sound is totally different than a lot of the Gotye stuff; it's more '60s-style. Check them out at their website (where you can listen to all their songs and download their newest album for free) and on YouTube:

And I'll link you to a few of the songs I particularly like :

not bad for a first listen. Will definitely be downloading it now

Cool! Let me know what you think. :thumbup: I actually haven't listened much to the free album yet because I haven't yet synced it to my iPhone or iPad after downloading it to my computer. I bought their other albums on iTunes & have had them on repeat - especially Get Back & Stand Out/Fit In. Plus, I'm really enjoying their videos on YouTube!

So just finally got the free album synced to my iPod and really listened to it. It was pretty good, but I was kind of disappointed. The other albums are WAY better - especially Get Back and Stand Out/Fit In. I definitely recommend getting those on iTunes, even if you didn't care much for the live album.
