Bang Bang Eche were never going to let being from New Zealand's South Island town of Christchurch impede their success. For a band that formed less than three years ago, the distance covered by BBE's tour bus is as impressive as their blistering, unabashed, and impassioned live shows. Their unique brand of thrilling dance-punk causes a [...] Related posts:Bands That Rock!

Tuesday brought the close to the interactive part of SXSW. It's bittersweet as we had a good time with the computer people. Tomorrow we will see more members of The Syndicate as well as our party with Casa De Awesome at The Purevolume House and the showcase with Comedy Central . Tuesday began bright and early with a 9:30am panel that asked "Is Too Much Math Killing Marketing." The panel looked at the left (analytical) and right (creative) sides of the brain can co-exist and if one is more important than the [...]

Bang! Bang! Eche! hört sich ja schon vom Namen her exotisch und zugleich fragwürdig an. Wenn man dann noch bedenkt, dass der Stil in Richtung "Test Icicles" geht und der Markt mit Bands aus dieser Richtung in den letzten nur so geflutet wurde, fällt es schwer noch eine in den Kreis aufzunehmen. Bang! Bang! Eche! aus Neuseeland heben sich aber deutlich davon ab, nicht nur, weil sie bei jedem Lied alles zum krachen bringen und alles mit sich reisst. Kaufen: [...]

New Zealand "Fist Full Of Dollars" Bang! Bang! Eche! on MySpace Bang! Bang! Eche! on The Hype Machine

Supporting their new EP, Bang Bang Eche are young but not too nieve to tour with Har Mar Superstar.

We spent a large portion of the Wednesday hanging out with our buddies over at The Studio at Webster Hall . We had some great bands on hand to keep us company. We teamed up with Rachael Rays' Feedback and the folks over at Amnesty International to put on two showcases, one during the day and one in the afternoon. The daytime showcase consisted of performances by Orenda Fink , Good Old War , Look Mexico , The Uglysuit , and Shayna Zaid [...]

Words: Jonathan "Kos" Kosakow Each year, the CMJ Music Marathon descends upon New York City for five days in October. For bands, it is a chance to be discovered. For journalists, bloggers, photographers and the recording industry, it is an opportunity to stumble upon the next big thing. And for the fans, it is a chance to discover new music, a chance to witness the origins of a band, and perhaps more importantly, a chance to run around New York City for five days without [...]

Bang Bang Eche | Music Hall of Williamsburg | October 26, 2009 Bang Bang are one hard band to capture on film! The spunky New Zealanders bounce about the stage with a lot of energy, and now they're touring with the awesome Har Mar Superstar . Though Bang Bang Eche played a bunch during CMJ, the Har Mar tour officially kicked off last night at the Music Hall of Williamsbug. Check out photos from the show below. www.myspace.com/bangbangeche

Recommended Show: MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2009 HAR MAR SUPERSTAR @ MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG 66 North 6th Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 $12, 8PM Monday nights are often dull for shows in New York City, but tonight has some good ones (call it a post-CMJ effect). Parts and Labor will take to the stage at Death by Audio and Har Mat Superstar gets it on at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It was a tough call between these two shows, but Har Mat edged out. Bang Bang Eche and My Jerusalem (both of whom could be recommended [...]

Ohhhh New Zealand. How I want to be in you now. I learned a lot from you last night. I learned that your rock bands are super white, and seem like they have a lot of fun. I also learned that your hip hop groups are pretty amazing, and deserve a stage here in the states, especially Kidz in Space. That was my favorite of the night, and Bang Bang Eche surprised me, which I always love. The last thing I learned was that you love your 45 Below vodka and you know what, so do I. I think our [...]

Bang Bang Eche were never going to let being from New Zealand's South Island impede their success. For a band formed a little over a year ago, the distance covered by their tour bus is as impressive... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.

It is quite remarkable that Los Angeles rockers Red Cortez are unsigned, in fact it makes me want to start a record label and sign them up, I think they are really that good. The band are currently supporting The Airborne Toxic Event on their US tour, so if they don't get signed from that things are seriously wrong. They have a digital EP currently available titled " [...]

Bang Bang Eche come at you like Benny Bonassi's scuzzy hardcore cousins. My only recourse for such a statement is the similarities with the riff that dominates the first part of this. You'll find it taken out of its nauseous daytime radio context and spliced together with a confident rousing by T'Nealle Worsley who never quite yelps & never quite relaxes into that louche singer mode. Out of nothing comes a lush vocodered breakdown totally at odds with what preceded it. Pure gorgonzola. The return into the maelstrom then is laced with something altogether sweeter. [...]

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key announces the release of Bang Bang Eche's EP, Sonic Death Cunttt, and we all await its frantic, disco-punk deliciousness

New Zealand doesn't tend to send a whole lot of bands our way, but youthful dance punk sensation Bang! Bang! Eche! have really been gaining momentum outside of their little island nation down under. The five member band defined by loud, thrashy guitars, synths, upbeat rhythms, and vocals which you could say are almost semi-rapped and mostly about partying deliver consistently high energy, high fun and highly danceable music. The young Kiwi rockers have just released a fantastic brand new video for their song (You+Me) As [...]

Bang Bang Eche - (You + Me) As Thick As Thieves from Bang Bang Eche on Vimeo .
(You + Me) As Thick As Thieves As promised last week, here's the new Bang! Bang! Eche! video for the song '(You + Me) As Thick As Thieves'. It's wonderfully directed by Simon Ward and is similarly themed to Shayna Quinns' EP cover, which she designed for the band's debut EP. The song is taken from the Bang! Bang! Eche!'s debut self-titled EP, released in 2008. The band's second EP titled Sonic Death Cuntttt [...]
