ON MILICWAVE: GROUPLOVE, FUTURE ISLANDS AND OTHER LIVES.
GROUPLOVE
Hannah Hooper and Christian Zucconi cross paths in New York City. They have never met before. It was obvious something special would come out of their mutual affinity. Just a few days after they met, Hannah was invited to an art residency in Greece. She invited Christian and he, of course, said yes. It was in Greece where they both met the future members of their band “GROUPLOVE”. In Greece they met Sean Gadd,this English lad did not only had a penchant for writing but loved playing the guitar. Also at the residency, Andrew Wassen, pro sorfer and musician. and his friend Ryan Rabin, drummer and producer. Long story short: after the residency was over they all went back to their respective homes, but the collective love for music brought them back together.
”We all understood how rare it is for five strangers to feel as close as family and create passionate music together. We couldn’t just return to Brooklyn and let the music we all made fade into a memory of that summer we had in Greece”
-Zucchoni

FUTURE ISLANDS
I love this new wave pop trio from Baltimore, Maryland. Gerrit Welmers is on keyboards and programming, William Cashion is on bass and electric guitars and the Samuel T. Herring is the front man in charge of words and vocals. They all met while studying art at East Carolina University. Future Islands was formed in January of 2006. This the type of band that you can just dance to and not pay attention to the lyrics although the lyrics should not be missed.

Watch them perform
OTHER LIVES
This great band from Stillwater, Oklahoma toured with Bon Iver and it’s opening up for Radiohead’s first leg of the 2012 tour. Enough said.

Lyrics
I was waiting in the dark age
Searching for the ones in my life
I’m so far away
But I had hit the ground runnin
Steady as you go, I don’t mind
I’m still here today
Oh, spouting hymns and all’s in them
And forever target, when it ain’t so kind
But it feels like forever
When your mind turns to fiction
And i had took the long way
and I was in the heat, and I don’t mind
I’m so far away
But it feels like forever
When you mind turns to fiction
Imagine the darks from the skull
In a night without sleep, vibration comes, first suit I had in months without feet
Spouting hymns and all’s in them
And forever target, when it ain’t so kind
But it feels like forever,
When your mind turns to fiction
