Stonefield - Magic Carpet Ride

A little while ago, we introduced you to impossibly cool Australian sisters Stonefield. Well, excitingly for those of you who are in the UK, the 70's inspired psych rockers are preparing for a big trip to the Glastonbury Festival. So, if you are heading to the world's most famous music event later this month, be sure to watch the teenage siblings on the John Peel stage - they might just turn out to be your new favourite band.

In the meantime, why not check out this pretty awesome live performance on renowned Aussie radio station, Triple J. As part of a regular feature called Like A Version, in which bands perform covers, they offered their take on Magic Carpet Ride. It was originally released in the 60s by Steppenwolf and you've probably heard it on the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack. Give it a look and listen below (fast forward the clip to 55 seconds to avoid the inane DJ chatter at the beginning):

Stonefield. Guaranteed to be younger and cooler than you.

If you don't want to feel old, uncool and talentless, then you'd better not check out Stonefield. The Melbourne sisters play 70s-inspired rock that oozes the effervescence of youth while showing a musical maturity that belies their tender years. Described by Triple J's Dom Alessio as "the best high school band in the country," Stonefield have embarked on a huge run of Australian dates over the past two weeks and are playing at the Northcote Social Club this Friday. If you're in the area, then you'd be a flipping idiot not to get along. Support comes from Kashmere Club and the brilliantly named Royston Vasie.

The buzz is spreading so far and wide about this quartet of siblings that festival goers back in Old Albion will be able to catch them at Glastonbury this summer. Exciting times indeed.
