I am often wary of friends pimping friend's bands, but if they make music like Le Kingste then I have zero complaints.
This Sydney four-piece straddle several genres, and as a result their music has a wonderfully compelling quality about it. Perhaps one of the closest references might be Muse, but the songs of Le Kingste are far more interesting than the UK rock act both in its riffs, arrangements and in vocal range (sorry Matthew Bellamy).
There is a lovely darkness and intensity about this music. Do like I did and take yourself to their MySpace page. Standout tracks currently on their player include 'Astronaut' - that underlying synthesiser line and wailing guitar, oh yes - and their latest single, the multifaceted 'The Way The World Looks'.
