On this fine Friday morning I took off from work because it is my little boy's 4th birthday. But still music calls me and the beats from the inbox this morning were far too perfect to leave hanging.

Introducing "Goodtimes Goodtimes" an indie folk band from the UK.

"GOODTIMES GOODTIMES throw these blues on the carnival bandstand and dance around them with a smile from ear to ear. A beautiful defiance of and lust for life."

The previous statement is from the band's MySpace page. You might speculate over whether or not it is a bit bias, but I have to admit it's pretty accurate.

I can seen how the tone of the guitar riffs could seem a bit bluesie at times, the vocals are far more Johnny Cash with their drawl. (Seems strange coming from someone from London Town). Though I wouldn't say the music is typical blues material I can say it reminds me of the "Jack and Diane" ages of Mellencamp. There is a wicked harmonica in their "Sunshine Sunshine" song. This music is far too light to be considered blues from my perspective. I'd say it would lift you out of your blues!

Francesco Cinelli you are a fantastic combination of Van Morrison and Tom Petty. I hope know one thinks that to be an unlikely collaboration, because this auditory tie-dye is brilliant. And the lyrics seem simple and profound at the same time.

Listen:
