Junior Senior - Damn that pop music!

Wonderfully camp and cheerful, you'll recall their tune 'Move your Feet' from 2003 which is in equal parts annoying & brilliant - feeling after just the first listen that you've already heard it too much (evidenced by it rattling around in your head for days).

I had never considered they could be worthy of a second listen until I stumbled over their last release (now 2005), 'Hey Hey My My Yo Yo'.
This is achingly good unashamed pop music, and I mean POP, so don't go expecting anymore than that from these guys. If you can imagine Bananarama were gang-banged by The Beach Boys, The Jackson 5 and Donny Osmond, then the bastard offspring might sound like this.... it's that good. Brace yourself for the god-awful rapping by Danish white boys on the opening track (without disallowing yourself an appreciation of its kitschness next time round).

It's actually so good, I'm boldly suggesting that this should be the happy album of the summer; if you don't get it straight away, please dig it out again when the sun is shining. It's guaranteed to do something to you. Fuck your musical sensibilities.

Some further digging reveals that they were quite active in 2003 gigging and festival-going; playing Glastonbury, Leeds/Reading and Am'dam (not sure where!?) - so I was wondering if anyone has seen them live? I can imagine they're a fun set.
