The Organ - Grab That Gun

So I should start with explaining why I haven't posted in a few days, but The Organ are my excuse why I haven't posted in a few days, so I suppose I don't need to. Basically, I've been being a total groupie and following them around on the leg of their European tour that took them around the south of England. I would have posted before it happened, as a "YOU MUST GO TO THIS" sort of thing, but I forgot. Sorry. If you missed out, then you really really really did miss out.

Before I saw them live, this band didn't really make sense to me. The obvious likenesses are The Smiths and Joy Division, but with girls, and as much as there will always be a space in my heart for both these bands, there's still something about hearing people attempting to recreate it years later that leaves me sort of cold. But I was invited to see them play a few shows and was put on the guest list, so I figured I'd give them a chance.

And I'm glad I did, because now The Organ have twice as much space in my heart as The Smiths and Joy Division put together. In fact, I've seen literally hundreds of bands live but I've rarely seen a band that creates such an intense atmosphere in a tiny venue. This music might not make sense to you straight away, so I strongly suggest that you prioritise seeing them live when they play in England next, and I promise you that you will absolutely adore it. If it does make sense straight away... well, you'll love it even more once you've seen it played out onstage.
