That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 98th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find four to six hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
Here are my week ninety eight recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
Gilla Band - Backwash
This week I'm bringing you an Irish band. They're known as Gilla band. Previous to this they were known as girl band and they were formed in Dublin back in 2011 and made up Dara Kiely, Alan Duggan, Daniel Fox and Adam Faulkner and their genre would be classed as post punk or maybe garage noise.
Here in the first song that I'm going to share here called "Backwash" you'll hear they have an eclectic sound, quite different to anything else around at the moment in my opinion. There is a lot of distortion going on with the sound and quite catchy lyrics, with some repetition but the repetition works well with the distortion.
Give the song a whirl there and see what you think. Do you like what you hear?
Gilla Band - Eight Fivers
Okay for the second song I'm gonna bring a live song that the lads recorded in the Moth club in hackney in the UK. I find it's always good to have a listen to a band playing live or seeing them playing live if you haven't seen them or heard them before. When you first listen to this song you might think it's repetitive and I suppose that is. But then when you listen to it a few more times you realize that it's a damn good song that's a real grower, so if at first you don't like this tune give it another couple of listens and it'll surely grow on you.
That's what happened me anyway, but you might listen to it and think it's shite and that's also okay sure wouldn't it be a bit boring if we were all the same and had identical opinions.
Gilla Band - Shoulder blades
I'll leave ye with this one from the boys from Dublin. I think Gilli Band are a bit like Marmite to be honest. You will either love these guys or else be like what the feck was that all about? If you like them be sure to check out more of their stuff; this song I'm gonna leave you with is called shoulder blades and comes from their debut album called talkies that came out in 2019 when the lads were still known as Girl Band.
