In fact, it's quite tricky to explain quite what it is that Django Django do, which is good, because it suggests they're doing something a little bit different.Įven the band can't quite get a handle on what it is they're up to. The emphasis is on cadence, although they're not heavy on the electronics, either – punk-funk or electro-dance this is not. The four-piece, who met at art school in Edinburgh and now live in fashionable east London, don't sound very Belgian or jazzy, and the guitars keep a low profile, too. But anyway, here comes another: Django Django, so-called after one of Django Reinhardt's teachers, who had a terrible stutter and always struggled with the Belgian jazz guitar legend's name when he called the register (or possibly not). And we notice that there hasn't been a BWATRWATT, an acronym you can almost use as an obscure slur, since the 80s, which might say something meaningful about the profligate mentality of that decade.
The background: Bands with a twice-repeated word as their title are always worth a punt: Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Bourgie Bourgie.
