Audrey Gallagher was vocalist for my favorite 4AD-signed band, Scheer. I’d say Scheer is in my top 3 favorite bands ever, with Skinny Puppy and ALL. They rocked and woke me up after a long time searching for good tunes. I was fortunate to “meet” Audrey via MySpace in the mid-late-2000s when I was living in Japan. She was very gracious to my messages and genuinely a kind person when we also connected on Facebook. After Scheer, she was briefly involved in a project called Lima, and then started adding her vocal talent to a number of electro/techno tracks by various artists. It’s gratifying to know that she’s still singing and still involved with music in a much more accessible way.

So Audrey’s started a radio show called VIVA VOCE (“With Living Voice”) and new episodes drop the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Audrey Gallagher viva voce

Danish-French group Elektrisk Gønner were featured in the latest (USA) episode of Lost Girl.

Off the Radar covered them back in March of 2011. Some artwork and few streaming songs there.

Also video for the tune “UknowwhatIwant” (the one on Lost Girl) on Vimeo (Definitely NSFW!):

Grimes – “Oblivion”

Interesting… I dig something about this tune, but I’m not sure if my interest will last, or if it’s just a passing “hmmm…”
