Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

After 10 years in the Bay Area, Persephone's Bees recently relocated to NYC and they're bringing their edgy pop sounds to WFMU for your enjoyment. The vocals of Russian-born lead singer Angelina Moysov fall somewhere between the Cardigans and Komeda, according to the Onion A/V Club -- who also described their music as "instantly likable."
Check out this video of Perspephone's Bees at WFMU performing "We've Just Begun!"

i think persephone's bees just took home the trophy for best use of the phrase "golf courses" in a tension-building, fist-pumping shout-along lyric. | |

First I've heard of Persephone's Bees...they were absolutely KILLER! Tom Ayres is a great, choppy rhythm guitar player. (With every guitar player wanting to be a hero, there are too few great rhythm players in rock music.) Fantastic and wonderful. | |
|
Wed. 11/17/10 10:44pm
efd:
So glad you enjoyed it, Robert! Totally agree about Tom, really like his style and the different sounds he uses. | |

|
Wed. 11/17/10 11:01pm
Kendall!:
efd didn't even know there was a new Electric Six album but that track was excellent as usual so I will make sure to head out and get it now. I will walk down to the shop (not digitall surf to the apple store) and pick it up. | |

I was just saying to Becky this sounds just like a record I'd have bought in 1986 and then the date popped up. But anyone who wants to sound like Hurrah! is aces in my book! | |
