\"Field<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most surprisingly wonderful things that happened to me yesterday was Field Music – a band I unexpectedly watched play last night just before Menomena’s highly anticipated set.<\/strong> At first I heard them playing a couple of songs in the background, while I was distracted by tasty drinks and good friends… and suddently it hit me, an incredible catchy rhythm I’m not used to hearing, especially not in Pittsburgh, and I was magnetically drawn through the noisy crowd right up to the stage where I stayed for the rest of the night…<\/p>\n

Here’s my favourite example of their unusual and catchy sound – <\/strong> If Only the Moon Were Up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Field Music is from Sunderland-near-the-sea, just South of Newcastle – which started off as a small fishing village and grew into the biggest ship building city in the world. Strangely, Field Music’s sound isn’t what you might expect from a place with a quaint name like Sunderland, but Sunderland has a thriving underground music scene which has fostered huge talent like The Futureheads, The Golden Virgins and Dave Stewart from The Eurythmics.<\/p>\n

I love this video – it completely captures the surroundings their music conjured up in my mind, and the irresistible urge I felt to dance –
\nYou’re Not Supposed<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

These guys have a really tight sound together and just watching them live they show such huge similarities in personality quirks and musicality, which I guess is partly explained by two of the band members being brothers, but it makes for a really harmonious sound.<\/p>\n

And finally, I’ve saved up my favourite video of all –
\nIn Context<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

They’re on a world tour<\/a> at the moment, and they might be passing through your town soon!<\/p>\n
