THE WHITESUNDAYS - "The Whitsundays"
2008-03-31 15:29:00 Friendly Fire Recordings - 2.008 Estos debutantes canadienses podrían haber tomado prestadas sus guitarras de la década de la paz y el amor. Claramente influenciados por el pop psicodélico y el garage británico de los sesenta, entre sus grupos de referencia podemos citar a The kinks, The Zombies o los omnipresentes coros de los Beach Boys. A destacar un buen dominio de los teclados.
The Whitsundays: The Whitsundays
2008-01-23 05:24:00 The Whitsundays: The WhitsundaysThe eponymous debut album from the Canadian indie rock outfit The Whitsundays is a journey through the greatest moments in Britain's musical history.Although our neighbors to our North have produced many notable musical acts themselves, the Whitsundays' sound focus' across the pond.

I was told that the boat had been out of the water for the past 2 weeks getting repaired so I was kind of screwed. I called up Peter Pans (the company I booked everything with), and they put me and Julia (friend from school here) on another boat leaving Tuesday instead. So on Monday afternoon Julia and I went to pay our extras for the trip (reef tax and stuff like that), and they said well that boat has been out of commission for a few days ever since it got beaten up in heavy winds the other day. So we were stressing a bit at this point and we went over to Peter Pans where cut a deal for another boat now leaving Wednesday instead. The funniest part was the trip advisor advising us NOT to go on this boat because it's known as the biggest piece of shit boat in all of the Whitsundays. The Tallarook III was the name of the boat, and the fact that it was so poorly looked upon by so many people wh...
