Open Your Ears Wk 34


TOKYO (Vampires & Wolves) - The Wombats


Ca-chinga, ca-chinga! Recipe for success, one part vampire, one part wolf, mix frequently, count your monies.

Circa 2007/08 The Wombats released a couple of crackerjack tunes called Lets Dance to Joy Division and Moving to New York. The former being their break through single and the latter being an even better track as a followup. I was seriously interested in seeing what else this Liverpool gang would put out. IN 2008 they released a pretty average track called Lost in the Post and kinda fell off of Triple J rotation, therefore off of mine too

anyway back to 2010 and the era of Twilight they release a new track called Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves). Now here is the saviour, I heard the song before I knew the title. Its a little beauty, catchy poppy sing-a-long, a band really doing what they do best. Its a pity that the record company or whoever insisted on the brackets.

So don't be scared now, no actual references or links to Twilight to be found, just a snappy brit pop ditty for your listening pleasure

so lets dance to the wombats
