Not skinny-jeaned indie boys gazing at their feet through floppy fringes

Much as we love our indie-boy guitar music here at BobbySix, we of course like to open our ears a little wider too. Heck, we even went to Johannesburg earlier in the year for some South African sounds (and for a bit of trance thanks to Tiesto).

Anyway, a couple of bands wrote us lovely letters this week, so we thought we'd show them some love. Firstly, if indie roots is your bag, then check a group from Australia called Blue King Brown. They (above) have spent the last few years touring the world sharing the stage with the likes of Santana and Lauryn Hill and will be supporting John Butler Trio in August and September. Visit their Myspace here.

Also, someone worth a look for her interesting electro-digi-funk is Irish artist Meljoann (above), Her EP is called Tour Guide and is making waves in The States. Friend of BobbySix.com, Nialler9 has the scoop on her. Have a listen to her stuff over at her Myspace.
