Bang Bang Eche

this bunch of crazy nippers(not as young as they look, honest!) come from NZ, the place of well...not much but lovely lamb and lord of the rings...well they did inform me that the local beer/ale/cider scene is pretty big in christchurch

after hearing about these guys due to playing with the likes of enter shikari, i wasn't to sure on what their sound would be, but if I'm honest, i wasn't really expecting much. luckily my ignorance was proven wrong, these guys are great, playing to round 50 people and loving every second. its nice to see when bands vibe off crowds and these lot are mainly fueled by the crowd. while over in the US doing showcases they explained that its so hard to "perform" with a bunch of people with arms folded and only nodding their heads.

bringing a sound and energy thats been missing since test icicles, these guys are loud, fun, electronic, party and much more! i expect alot from these, and you'll defo hear more from them soon, check them out

totally enormous extinct dinosaurs

so i wrote this lovely, amazing, and probably the greatest most link possible post, and then my browser dies (teaches me for using safari)

BACK TO THE POINT - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, what can you say? other than TEED are awesome, they have this ability to make anyone want to dance. Bringing together the commercial and underground sounds of electronic/glitch genres at the moment.

Having recently played at We Are Your Friends Block Party Weekender, were a few of the other DARK PARTY djs were cutting their craft

Destroying stages all over Europe, we're also lucky to have TEED playing our very own CHRISTMAS DARK PARTY! everyone involved is stoked!

here's a sneak peak at the flyer from Smith Tropical

see ya there

On repeat...

Amazing tune, it's all i've been listening to this week. Sorry i've been quiet, I'm thinking too much about my "best of 2009 list". Expect every blogger to post one next month, I'm pumped.

Royal Bangs Return

so you may or may not know these guys, i did a little thing on them a while ago. i still also feel i have some kind of finders rights to this band. they're amazing, there is no other word for them. from hearing the first song to hearing the last song of their new album i knew this was gonna be another love story of an album

Royal Bangs return, they come back with their second album "Let It Beep" on AUDIO EAGLE (US) / CITY SLANG (EU). theres just something about this band/record thats fun but incredibly haunting i cant put my finger on it, but the track that sums up the album for me is "My Car Is Haunted", it has the same ability to cripple me and make me wanna move like an idiot at the same time

this band is stupidly underrated only being able to play 1 UK date on this tour, i pray they dont take that the wrong way...

HALLOWEEN DARK PARTY

Local Natives

a friend of mine told me about these guys nearly a year back after some time in America. They were good then, but now...they're great! they've got a great team behind them now, including management and Booker's, they'll be big i reckon whether you like it or not

This track, is a sneaky peak into Local Natives pop ability, its not up on their myspazz or nout, great little tune

Camera Talk

enjoy
