It's funny, 'cause you'd think there was nothing tropical about London...well I am here to tell you that you are wrong. IS TROPICAL will make you wanna do filthy things to a pineapple when you listen to them. I'm not sure why I say pineapple, but it's kinda 'tropically' innit? Strange that, because I was *this close* to getting Amy Wino's tattoo artist give me a pineapple tattoo when I was in the smoke! Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, I digress...
IS TROPICAL came into my life, or should I say my entire group of friends lives, when our good friend Mr Hemingway found them all up on the interweb and introduced us to this English musical sexy time. Oh my God. It was love at first download. We kinda expected to see them play somewhere when we went over in June but alas, our schedules were not harmonious - 'our's being me and my mates and the Tropical fella's. We were hoping they might have been at Glastonbury, but all we got was one of their tracks on the sound system just before Bombay Bicycle. But guess what? It doesn't even matter, 'cause I tracked them down and they agreed to throw me a couple of words.
But before you read on, hit the play button below and let it be the soundtrack for your reading pleasure. These boys will be firm fave's on your ipods before you can say 'cocktail umbrella'. After the jump ...
