The famous English artist(4)

Today I introduce ''Bloc Party''.


Bloc Party is made up for 4 members and their band group has various races. The vocal Kele Okereke's parents are from Nigeria and his skin is black. The guitar Russell Lissack and the bass Gordon Moakes are English but drums Matt Tong is Asian English because Tong's mother is English but his father is Malacian Chinese.
Their music type is called ''Post Punk''. Arctic Monkeys or Japanese band group POLYSICS
are the same type but each musics has unique sense. Bloc Party combines their original music with punkrock, techno music, and dance music.
These unique ideas grow them to be famous.

Today I introduce the band "Radiohead".
Radiohead was set up on 1985 in Oxford. They were students of High or Junior High school when the root band "On a Friday" were set up. They were already strange from the other band groups then and soon they became famous. Their most famous song "Creep" is very cool. The Japanese famous artist Shina Ringo most loves this song.
Creep is as popluar as "Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)", "Loser (Beck)" but plays very few time on the stage. They visit Japan for the live tour on October but they didn't play Creep. I don't know why they don't play Creep often but I think it is because the band leader Tom York hate to do the routine work. Like as their music's type alternative rock.

In London, there are so many musical artists but almost all artists are as good as imitations. Therefore, there are few artists who become to be famous. Today, I introduce the "Razorlight" which is said "imitation" but became one of famous artists.
Razorlight started in 2003. These days in England, making band group was a trend. So there are many band groups which rid on the trend and Razorlight was also one of them.
Their music and looks were very simillar to the famous artist The Libertines so they were told "the imitation of The Libertines" but they played music so hard and played so many times in a place with live music that they became popular little by little. And now, they are one of the most famous artist in London like Coldplay, BLOCPARTY, Arcticmonkeys and so on.
