Concrete Playground

These Byron transplants are the kind of people who give you the shits: classicaly trained musicians who write great songs, are years younger than you, and still manage to be really lovely people who will lend you their guitar amp if you need it.

Lots of Sydneysiders who are worth their musical salt are tipping The Jezabels to be one of the next bands that blow up from our pretty harbour city. Completely devoid of irony, their music is built around the mingling of piano and guitar over strong driving rhythms whilst singer Hayley Mary manages to channel bits of Kate Bush and Patti Smith, really wearing her lyrical heart on her young sleeve. They are great live, so why the hell not go and see them with the Sydney upstarts Papa Vs Pretty.
