There hasn't happened much. I've been home with pneumonia and although I feel a lot better by now, I don't feel like I'm cured yet. I feel cold a lot (even when it's hot outside), I'm a little short of breath and I'm tired fast. I've got no energy and even though I've got plenty of time, I don't feel like working on my indieblog a lot. For the time being I will only write one or two posts a week. Such post should be about a band who makes happy music. A band like Tilly and the Wall from Omaha, Nebraska.The names of the members are Neely Jenkins, Kianna Alarid, Nick White, Jamie Pressnall and Derek Pressnall and the most striking thing of this line-up are the instruments played by Jamie: tapdance and percussion. It's also interesting to know that the five members all are songwriters and this means that the repertoire contains some of the musical tastes of every member. Tilly and the Wall debuted June 2004 with the album "Wild Like Children". Almost two years later they released "Bottoms of Barrels" and now, again two years later, the third album will be released. All CDs are released by the great label Team Love. This new album has been given the title of the symbol or form "O". Not the letter O, but a circle symbol. This new album has a larger focus on percussion, rhythm, harmonies and melodies. Tilly and the Wall make attractive songs which deserve a much larger audience. Just listen:
