Hello readers. I am back in Brussels after about a month back in the UK, so it is about time that I start blogging about my life again. To kick it off, I thought that it would be nice to write about a band I have recently heard about because I hope to go to their London gig in October to see what they are like live. The band is all American and is called Warpaint. Now a masculine sounding name like that reminds one of ancient Britons charging against Roman legions with woad on their faces, however don’t forget that a famous woman called Boudicca was among them. So it should not be surprising that this band is an all female quartet with an unusual sound on offer. I quite like this group because, even though their name sounds like a heavy metal band, they have a smooth music genre and like a Brussels bar, it is quite smokey as well. The band creates songs which are both energetic, although you would not find them on my workout playlist, and mixes psychedelic rock with angelic vocals.



We can see this in their “Stars” song. The video opens the door to a bizarre dreamlike world and produces a good piece of visual art which is also quite haunting. But the song which got me interested in the band is called “Elephants” and as I used to study art and photography, I like the use of light and the large dark space in the video.



Billie Holiday appears to be their most popular song at the moment and would make a good relationship song for Warpaint’s female fans. As someone who is a bit of an artist, I really recommend this type of paint if you want a new all female band in your life. I will let you know how I got on at their gig in October.
