Jake Bugg


Jake Bugg


This probably should have been posted a while back, considering the concert was on the 5th of February, but us two and four other friends, Megan, Jennifer, Emilia and KT    
(typicalteenagegirl101.blogspot.com) went to see Jake Bugg! 


 He is absolutely incredible live, and one of the most down to earth musicians in the industry. 

Jake is credited for his comparisons to the likes of Bob Dylan and The Stone Roses, and for bringing a new era of music to the otherwise currently dowdy charts.


 He performed an amazing set, even coming on for an encore to sing big hit Lightning Bolt, cue wild dancing and urine throwing. 


Not one to hold his tongue, Jake has recently slammed One Direction multiple times, and criticized the Brits acts as 'awful', but I think it's great that he isn't afraid to be brutally honest, and that he still remains the lad from the council estate in Clifton. 

We seriously annoyed the people behind us because of our enraged screaming and 'raving', but wotev. The support acts, Hudson Taylor and Little Green Cars, are also worth a listen too! 

f you're considering going to see him, GO. That's the only advice we can give really!

We Love...Lianne!






Style Crush

 Lianne La Havas 

aged 23, is an English folk and soul singer-songwriter from London, England.


 Born to a Greek bus-driver father and a Jamaican postlady mother, Lianne refers her kooky approach to music and fashion to her diverse roots.



        After watching her for quite a while since I first heard her track, No Room For Doubt, with Willy Mason, I was hooked, and intrigued by her individuality.
   
  Renown for her trademark lopsided bun and trusty guitar, Lianne recently supported Alicia Keys' MTV Crashes, which was broadcasted in a MASSIVE 164 countries!







She has also supported Wisconsin folk band Bon Iver on their December 2011 North American tour!



 She also has many celebrity fans,including Tom Ford, Stevie Wonder and Prince, who rang her when she was having a pint in the pub with her boyfriend! Jealous...
 She cites her style icons as multi-award winning actress and director, Diane Keaton, and Prince, in his Purple Rain video.









Lianne is recognised for her love of eclectic pieces, including popping brights, shoulder pads, Peter Pan collars and chunky statement necklaces.


Her make-up is usually very natural, although she is never caught without a statement flick of kohl eyeliner, and a dot in the middle of her bottom eyelid. Cute!



We predict that Lianne is destined for super-stardom, along with the greats of Etta Jones and Amy Winehouse. 

We recommend you download:

Jake Bugg



Have you heard of Jake Bugg? No? I suggest you go listen to him right. now. Seriously. His voice, his style, his face... he's beautiful. At just 18 he's becoming a huge success in the music industry and me and Rebecca literally can't be more excited! I first heard him playing backstage at one of England's biggest festivals with Fearne Cotton and Greg James. He performed his first single 'Lightning Bolt' acoustically and by George it was perfect. Ever since then, we both have been obsessed with him. (Not in a creepy way, don't worry ;-))


His voice is very country/rock and it's something I've rarely heard in today's music and to be honest, it is a great addition! He grew up in the Clifton area of Nottingham and began playing the guitar at the age of 12. He has been chosen to perform on many BBC radio and TV shows like 'Later... with Jules Holland' and BBC radio 6's music programme.

His style, to sum it up, is probably best to describe as a spin off of Noel Gallagher. With his dark skinny jeans, zip up parka jacket and always a lit cigarette in his hand. Here are some Jake Bugg inspired outfits. (For Girls.)

If you want to listen to him, here is a link to one of my favorite songs by him. It's a little number called 'Taste It'
