Shadow Show: “Fantasy Now” Digital and CD and LP 16th February 2023 Little Cloud (US) & Stolen Body Records (UK). USA pop/punk band.

Music had the best part in the three decades, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Somehow in everything from clothes to toys, music, gear… There is a circle turning into those great years. Some of you had the chance, like me, to know those and worship them for some reason. It happens while most eighties rock and heavy metal bands are back or still alive. The sixties are bringing their soul to the table.

Apart from the fact it brings memories to your mind and makes you feel happy. It is amazing after all the new technology the human being has created, we can go back to those early days like nothing has changed. If digital is convenient for many, listening to music everywhere on every device, in the bathroom, in the car, on airplanes.. well in fact it always has been with the analog one! 

Only the equipment and the way it works as changed. Things got smaller and nothing belongs to you cos data is nothing real. Thankfully music needs musicians to give back a soul nothing can be deleted nor replaced. It is with enormous pleasure I listen to this brilliant girly band with such emotion and happiness. An enjoyment of pure pleasure for the ears. Flying on a cloud of beauty, reminded me of when time was so fun and cool.

They managed to recreate those sounds and years with clothes, like going back to the future in your Delorean. It’s beautiful, it’s magical, it’s just full love in every way. Garage, punky, free vibe spreading.

Just listen and get absorbed by those sweet ladies :

Simple things just make the best. Straightforward in your face,  melodies, and punchy riffs. Sending you sometimes to those TV series, with sounds and craziness. The sixties in their glory.

You will applaud and fall in love in a second. Prepare for a flight into the memory lane, floating around as the time stops. Twelve songs to drive you crazy, you will shake your butty.

Influences The Donnas, The Runaways, Mamas and Papas, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Bangles, T-Rex, B52, and many more.

A must-have 100/100.
