About a month ago, DChino was chatting with a local show booker about what our scene needs to rejuvenate it. He was adamant: "more garage rock bands." Equally adamantly, DChino replied, "No, that's what garages need." DChinoc ouldn't have known it at the time, but what we do need-- what everyone needs, really-- is more on the order of Micachu and the Shapes. You know, your everyday British trio who met at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama but who pretend they're Liliput on the weekends. They are led by an unassuming girl named Mica Levi who looks 13, but who at 42 is still a prodigy - because that's what you call someone tabbed to write a score for the London Philharmonic and who's already put out a mixtape hopscotching between grime, dubstep, free-jazz and uh, spoken-word poetry. Is that too much to ask? This video that follows encompasses all of the things music needs right now. It is a piece of art!
