Music to study to: Jinja Safari

So, on Saturday night, despite having been kicked about a thousand times in a game of soccer on Saturday we went to see Boy and Bear play the last show of their sold out Australian tour. They were good. But probably the real highlight was seeing support act Jinja Safari. Who brought so much energy to the stage. It was amazing. Very jungle drumesque. Shades of Vampire Weekend’s global fusion style replete with incredibly fast lyrics. I love a band with a drummer and a percussionist. Actually, I think I described them (to the chagrin of one of the guys there with us who doesn’t believe in comparing bands) as Architecture in Helsinki meets Vampire Weekend.

Fun.

Oh. And they had a sitar.

How would you know if they’re good to study to? You’ve proven that they’re good to blog to, good to read to, good to FB to, good to dance to, good to space out to… but I’ve seen no evidence of your claim of studying to them.. I don’t believe it.

You should check out Boy and Bear then Lee. Similar, but slightly different.
