The Zebras & Tolbiac

The Zebras hail from Brisbane, Australia. The five-piece has released two albums under Mark Monnone's (The Lucksmiths) Lost and Lonesome label. Their jangly guitar-pop should be true ear-candy for fans of The Bats, The Go-Betweens and Teenage Fanclub.

Tolbiac is one-man-project of Veli Kauppinen from Helsinki, Finland. Veli is mostly known from his band The Red Carpet. Tolbiac mixes bedroom-pop with a bit of electronics in warm and slightly melancholic way. His only song in his mother tongue - "Purkkaa" ("chewing gum") - has already become a little hit in finnish/north-estonian region of internet.

You can download his whole album "Sketches" (all unreleased recordings) here

Good news for estonians - on 17th of February both The Zebras and Tolbiac will play in Tallinn (@ bar "Juuksur") where the next Odessa POP is held. More info in Estonian here.
