HeyHiHello is an indie pop group taking inspiration from the postal service. They bring a sense of electropop into their music and the song’s revolve around a number of topics, most with a positive attitude.
They released their new EP "Goodnight Moon" in March 2011. The song that introduced them to me was "Right Here". I can really recommend this band if you like powerpop.
If you're looking for perfect instrumental skills, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue are your band.
Troy Andrews (born January 2, 1986) is a trombone and trumpet player from New Orleans,Louisiana, United States. He goes by the stage name "Trombone Shorty" and is the younger brother of trumpeter and bandleader James Andrews as well as the grandson of singer and songwriter Jessie Hill. Andrews began playing trombone at age six, and since 2009 has played in the band Orleans Avenue.
Yesterday, I saw them play at Kulturzelt (transl. Culture Tent) in Kassel, Germany.
They performed their latest album “Backatown” and played hits like “Backatown”, “Hurricane Season” and “Something Beautiful”. Impressive was how perfectly they mastered their instruments and how some songs were spontaneously altered right their on stage. The fun all musicians had on stage was obvious to the audience and the feeling was transported into the whole room.
Every musician got a solo to play during the concert. Close to the end the instruments were switched between the musicians. A fun game to amuse the audience and let us think at first that hey, they are just joking but then prove to everyone that no, they can actually play other instruments too.
After two hours of great music the concert ended and left a more than happy audience.
The Pigeon Detectives are a five piece indie rock band from Rothwell, Leeds with influences such as The Beatles, The Kinks and The Velvet Underground. Pigeon Detectives, who formed in 2002, found acclaim among DJs and the musical press when they performed at 2006 Reading and Leeds festivals, being tagged as the “band most likely to leap to the main stage in 2007”.
They supported Dirty Pretty Things whilst they toured in spring 2006. In early November 2006 they supported fellow West Yorkshire band Kaiser Chiefs, who are known to be fans of the band, on a number of occasions around Europe. On 8 July 2007, they played on the Radio 1 NME Stage in front of thousands at T in the Park. The performance was televised and shown later that day on BBC3.

Their debut album The Constant followed on 1 October 2010.
