WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from November 17, 2010

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from November 17, 2010

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)

Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)

November 17, 2010: PERSEPHONE'S BEES live set!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

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!"

	11:23pm john: 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!
