Top 3 Indies Videos 03/22/19! Su凸ko D凹koi (Jpn), Werecats, Amy Darling, Reverend Beat-Man & the New Wave!
We're back once again to the Top 3 video countdown for Mar. 22, 2019!
First up today from Switzerland is the fabulous Reverend Beat-Man and the New Wave! The Reverend has been on our countdown many times but always under different names and identification! There's so many I can't keep track... Oh, yeah! The Monsters are one! They hit #1 on our chart before with "Blow Umm Mau Mau!" The Reverend's bio states: "HE'LL MAKE YOUR BACK CRACK, YOUR LIVER QUIVER, AND YOUR KNEES FREEZE. AND IF YOU DON'T DIG THAT YOU'VE GOT A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL, SO LET'S GIVE A BIG WARM WELCOME FOR THE REV, YOUR BEAT-MAN, EVERYBODY'S BLUES TRASH PREACHER, THE FABULOUS REVEREND BEAT-MAN!" Chuckle. Of course, he has a Facebook page! Go like it! https://www.facebook.com/reverendbeatmanofficial/
Next up are the Werecats from London. Their bio states: "Four friends formed a circle at midnight and threw their favorite things in the middle to see what would happen. The smoke cleared, and they sat down to build something new out of what was left. They wrapped melodies round spiky lumps of noise, then weaved round them tales of joy and confusion, laughter and fear, people gone bad and the dead come good. They stacked them in their dear van and brought them blinking into the sunlight. And so here we are, we offer you our songs played with gusto, and not a little cider. We’ve been in The Pukes, The Zatopeks, The Blankheads and Soon The Darkness. We dance with dogs and pogo with zombies, come join us!"
And at #1 this week is Amy Darling! Imperfect Filth says: "Once the melody grabs onto you, hold on for dear life because this act is re-defining what it’s like to be a femme fatale."
