Olympic Lifts - I am Cursed

Jump to Comments

I first met the guys from the Olympic Lifts when they stayed at the Circus hostel way back in (I think) 2003. They came back to Berlin a couple of times to play at Bastard and also the Circus over the Love Parade in 2003 and 2004, and then to appear at the World Cup Lounge in 2006. They are local heroes back in Belfast, and describe their music as “AC/DC fighting Gorillaz at a Funkadelic Party”… After a long time of waiting they have finally released a new single on Bruised Fruit, the video of which is above. Like with much of their work it is a catchy-poppy-hip-hoppy mix, with added monkey noises, which surely can’t be bad. Apparently there is an album to appear sometime soon, and hopefully they will make Berlin a future tour destination. If you are interested in hearing more, their myspace page has some tracks, including the impossibly-ear-wormy “Do the Getdown”.
