Public art with a twist! What a neat idea. I could spend all day jumping on the different steps trying to create different songs. I will never grow up. ;)

Netherlandish

I've just learnt of a group called Netherfriends, I liked their name, so I thought I'd do a bit of research... They're from Chicago and they're currently on tour. I suppose they'd be filed under the psych pop genre, I don't know, Netherfriends remind me a lot of The Dodos, and a little bit of Margot and The Nuclear So & So's. Here, decide for yourself...
