Say Lou Lou

Female vocals, synthpop & disco, one sweet blonde, one sassy brunette, Swedish/Australian twins with a stellar pedigree (they're The Church frontman Steve Kilbey's daughters), Say Lou Lou have all the right ingredients for an excellent POP band.

I caught them last night at the Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA. From the moment they took the stage, they commanded it. Equal measures of fun and fierceness in their performance. Elektra (blonde) and Miranda (brunette) each have their own signature style that perfectly complements the other. They looked great and sang with real feeling, their moves and expressions matching the emotions of the songs. They took me to a level of enjoying POP music that I almost forgot I had. 

I was dead tired by the time they took the stage at 10 PM but quickly the exhaustion of the day evaporated and I was moving along with the enthusiastic crowd. Third song, 'Games For Girls', really took things off. I'd heard a few of the tunes before (free download of Free N Losh's remix of 'Nothing But A Heartbeat' at their website), pleasant 'dream pop' (as they are oft described), but experiencing them live really sold me. The songs are ace. An amazing rendition of 'Julian' caused the dance floor to erupt.

They ended with 'Nothing But A Heartbeak', my fave of what I'd heard going into the gig.




And then we gave them their first encore of the tour. Which was 'Better In The Dark'.





And here's 'Games For Girls':




I highly recommend seeing them live.
