in the world of techno, everyone knows everyone

Younger Brother – The Last Days of Gravity
A friend told me about a band called Infected Mushroom.  They’re good and a topic for a later post.  But while looking for more of Infected Mushroom’s style, we go to their genre which is “psytrance.”  And so far that “genre” has turned up pretty empty except for a band called Shpongle (who is also a topic for a later post).  And one of the guys in Shpongle did some other work under the name of Younger Brother.  Pretty lame as far as band names go but it’s good stuff!

Wolfmother – Wolfmother
The AllMusic description says it all: Truly a band out of time, Australian power trio Wolfmother were conceived in 2000 — about 30 years too late, considering that their psychedelic brand of proto-heavy metal sounds like a ringer for late-’60s/early-’70s bands such as Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath.  I don’t know Blue Cheer, but the description of old-school arena-rock really seems to fit.  It’s good stuff and you’ve probably played their song on Guitar Hero 2.
