Natalie Portman's Shaved Head is an up & coming band from Seattle. I am just starting to get into them, but they are quickly working their way into my heart. Can't say no to their electo pop loveliness!
I wanted to hate this band. At first glance, they just screamed stereotypical "CHECK ME OUT IM SO HIP AND WEIRD AND ELECTRIC!!11!" to me. The neon colors, the synth, the rainbow diamond ironic obnoxious whatever trendy bug that seems to be infecting everyone. However, once I realized that there is no way they actually take themselves seriously, I could give them a real listen, and I'm a tad ashamed to say I'm hooked.
I first fell in love with "Me + Yr Daughter", and it is still one of my favorite car jams. The beat is fucking infectious and the song is just so danceable and catchy. Then, while at Steamworks someone mentioned "Beard Lust" (which I have been known to have). This song is 100% ridiculous and I love it. Such a mood booster, you really can't help but sing along and smile. Seriously, I dare you to deny the beauty of these lyrics: "Clean it, and scent with violet. Love it, but don't get violent. Rub it, but not in public." VIOLET SCENTED BEARDS, YEAH! Last but not least, the past few days it is seriously "Bedroom Costume" on repeat. Hey! A song about voyeurism! I'm into it!
Here is the video for their song "Sophisticated Side Ponytail":
It is just so over the top tacky and I LOVE it. RAINBOW LAZER BEAM DIAMONDS & SHAMU.
CHECK THEIR MYSPACE!
