Fans of Jimmy Century
bandmates Alicia Peron & Victor James helped steam up The L
Word this season when their track "Hot Sahara" was used as the sexy
soundtrack to Shane's little dance of love in the VIP room with Dawn and
Cindi at SheBar. In fact, the scene was so sexy that the FoJC
MySpace page was temporarily shutdown due to concerns about the racy
content of the now classic "Hot Sahara" scene. Alicia and Victor's
music is a logical fit for The L Word since their style is often likened to
another memorable L Word artist - Goldfrapp. FoJC are on fire
this year as their music has been featured in several TV series, has been
heating up the dance charts, and has also won awards. You can be sure
to look forward to big things from this duo next year. In the meantime,
check out
their store for more hot downloads and if you're near L.A. you can catch
them this weekend at Derby.
Goldfrapp is hardly a new band on
the scene, with nearly a decade of major international success. Yet, even
with accolades like number one hits and platinum albums, Goldfrapp
remarkably remains somewhat unknown in the United States. For those
not in the know, Goldfrapp - a UK electronica/dance group - is the dazzling
result of the pairing of singer/songwriter Alison Goldfrapp and composer
Will Gregory.
Goldfrapp has released 4 major albums since 1999 and received 2 Grammy
nominations last year. The duo has been fairly popular in the UK and Europe
since its early singles, but its appeal grew markedly with U.S. fans
after multiple #1 hits on the dance charts due largely to a strong
commercial presence and successful live shows Stateside. Fans of The L
Word may recognize Goldfrapp's sound from the movie D.E.B.S ("Strict
Machine") and from the episode "Lassoed" ("Ooh La La").
It should also be noted that Goldfrapp wrote and performed the score music
for last year's popular lesbian film, My Summer of Love.
Goldfrapp can be seen performing their 2005 single "Ride a White Horse"
on this week's episode of The L Word. The song can also be found on the
fourth season soundtrack for the series, L Tunes: Music From and Inspired
By The L Word.

Toronto trio, The Cliks, formed by front-man Lucas Silveira is
poised to shake up the rock world. Silveira, the lead singer and songwriter of the band is fairly new to
the gritty rock scene, having started out penning tunes with a folk
background. His first two bandmates added their twist and The Cliks
emerged on the college rock scene. Not long after, the two musicians bowed
out leaving just Silveira from the original trio. As fate would have
it, Jordan B. Wright and Morgan Doctor were looking for a new
band and Silveira was looking for a new bassist and drummer.
Everything clicked when the new trio of
veteran musicians began playing together. Harder lyrics, faster rhythms, and
stronger on-stage energy emerged. The Cliks' album Snakehouse
is full of razor-edged anthems of fighting back and getting strong. It's at
times a personal account of Silveira's gender identity and personal
transformation. The Cliks can now be found on
Silver Label. You can listen to some of the songs and purchase the album
on the band's
website. The song "Complicated" can also be found on The L Word Season 4
Soundtrack "L Tunes: Music From and Inspired By
The L Word" and can be heard in episode 3, season 4 of The L Word.
