Strange Talk (again)
New single from the boys that did that OOOOOH LIKE CHEATA LIKE A CHEATA LIKE A CHEATA song and the other song about climbing things. I really like it: Strange Talk – Sexual Lifestyle by viceroyalty Strange Talk sow their seed nationwide this November – first gig is tonight at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. Thursday [...]
Creamfields Giveaway
Based on the relatively rotten time I had at Future (not enough technos!), I’m curious to see what Creamfields 2011 will hold. Stereosonic was actually great fun, and really slickly produced this year so hopes are high. If you’ve not caught the memo, here’s the skinny: Deadmau5 (possibly with that ridiculous live LED rig in [...]
We Say Bamboulee
Not new, not old, just amazing And very much deserving of more ears around the world. We Say Bamboulee are a Sydney three-some generating some most genuine and whimsical of electro-pop. Like little step-sequenced bells attached to your earlobes. Hot track right here: We Say Bamboulee – Waiting In Wisconsin The gents are travelling across [...]
Russ Chimes
The man, the mystery, the very good pool player, the man with the silly camera and a fixy bike, will be on our shores NEXT WEEK as part of Stereosonic 2010. I have it on good authority he’s going to wedgie Tiesto. Check out this smashing mixtape of Russ Chimes originals, remixes and assorted rarities. [...]
Renaissance Man Australian Tour
Absolute highlight at festivals earlier this year, Sound Pellegrino alumni and generally awesome, creative and interesting bros… Renaissance Man are bringing originality and play back to the ‘serious bizness’ of techno music. They’ll be playing around in Australia at the following parties – do not miss out, they always come fully armed with a holster [...]
The Swiss Melbourne Show – This Saturday!
I first got my hands on the Swiss via their first label, Really Real Records. I was so impressed by their understated disco-infused melodies that I bought everything I could get my hands on – which at the time consisted of four different colourways of the Really Real label shirt. I was just as excited [...]
Club NME Australia
Another of the good ship NME’s brands makes a splash in Australia for the end of summer. Featuring what promises to be an ‘iconic’ DJ set from a guy who was in The Smiths but wasn’t Morrissey. But with some great bands in support, I can see this being a pretty righteous party. Sock this [...]
Bikes Rock
The Bicycle Film Festival rolls back into town with the launch night on the 11th of November in Sydney. Think Nicole Kidman, BMX, fixies, bike polo and even recumbent cycling. Yes, even recumbents will be there – for better or worse. To make up for the recumbents the launch night will see Bridezilla, Jonathan Boulet, [...]
Midnight Juggernauts new album ‘TNT’
Or ‘The New Technology’.. kinda like the ‘The Energy Never Dies’… album doesn’t hit til early 2010, so there’s still time for at least a dozen more cheesily acronym’d rekkids to hit before Christmas. Please don’t become a trend Good excuse to have a tour, dates after the jump:
Russ Chimes
…is in town and we are beyond excited. Do yourself a big favour and see the saviour of blog-electro at the controls. If you’re lucky he’ll play that Outrunners remix. Catch him around Australia at the following spots: 7 Aug Limelite FREMANTLE 8 Aug Tank SYDNEY 14 Aug Electric Circus ADELAIDE 15 Aug The Prince [...]
Third time lucky?
Duran Duran did it back in 1998 with Night Versions. Soulwax did the same in 2005 with their own Nite Versions. It is 2009 and Van She have ‘reworked’ their debut album, V, into Ze Vemixes. ‘Reworked’ is the word because Ze Vemixes doesn’t sound like the Van She Tech remixes that went out with [...]
Jesse Rose + Zombie Disco Squad + Oliver $ = STROBE
Every time I look at the title of this blog, my mind flies back to the heady days of 2007; the year when electro first exploded into the mainstream, propelled forward on a wave of stomping house beats spliced with synth-rock and electroclash sensibilities. I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]
The Punks Jump UP
Punks Jump Up are in Australia at the moment embarking on their first tour for music and their second for pleasure. I was lucky enough to get Dave out of bed to have a chat about what they’ve been working on, their fusion of fashion and music and what they’re plotting this time around. So [...]
