Two weeks ago I introduced the first issue of The Drop , and now we're back with the second issue filled with lovely tracks that will carry you all the way until Monday. There's something for everyone, Prince samples, intense electro, as well as some mellow folkiness. We have a lot of new music to bring you next week, and it's sure to make your iTunes overflow. Cheers, until then. Only Children - When Doves Get High Boy & Bear - Mexican Mavis [...]

We're a little late to the party with this one, but like us, some of you may not yet have experienced the myriad charms of Boy & Bear , and if you haven't then you need to. Simple as that. An Australian five piece, that you would probably best label as folk-rock, they have recently released their debut five track EP titled With Emperor Antarctica , and also toured the UK supporting nu-folk darling Laura Marling . Our taster from the EP, Mexican Mavis is a song that lives up to its name, dancing out of [...]

Boy & Bear's debut EP With Emperor Antarctica is released on the 7th of May, 2010. If you haven't yet listened to Boy & Bear you are seriously missing out on something special. This something special is not only different, but brings to mind crisp harmonies, elated melodies, and an outright feeling of great warmth. Having witnessed Boy & Bear on two occassions, firstly at an intimate gig at 'The Troubadour' than as a three piece at 'The Zoo', they naturally captivate [...]

Yet another Nu-Folk/Americana artist I have have been introduced to recently, Boy and Bear have a pretty cool sound coming in somewhere between Fleet Foxes and Local Natives. Hailing from Australia, they are currently opening for Laura Marling, and although I have not managed to catch them myself I have heard nothing but positive reports. I am totally in love with 'Mexican Mavis' and 'The Storm', the band's two single releases thus far. One would imagine that A &R interest will be high following the tour, so expect [...]

Boy & Bear are still a new band. Although three of the members have fronted bands earlier, so what Boy & Bear gives you is a great variation of the musical personality and genre from three bands. They launched the single “Mexican Mavis” in October last year and are currently supporting Laura Marling in the [...]

Mexican Mavis Mp3 It seems when i posted this Boy&Bear track a few months ago, I only posted the original demo recording... Since then, they've decided to re-record and make something that was great, even better. So while half the band is currently touring the UK as Laura Marling's band, the remaining members continue touring Oz, to spread the word of the 'Boy and the Bear'.. There's also some new recorded material awaiting release in the near future, and it's sounding great from all reports.. Kicking goals lads, keep it up. Peace.
Every time Hungry Kids of Hungary play in Brisbane it's like one big party. Their music is infectiously catchy and unabashedly poppy. So what better way to spend a Friday night unwinding from work than heading to the Zoo to watch the Hungriest of all the Kids in Hungary. We arrived in time to catch Boy & Bear assemble on stage, albeit minus one boy... or was it one bear. In bassist Jake Tarasenko's absence, Boy & Bear did away with the drums, instead performing a refreshingly intimate drum-less set. The three [...]

Hungry Kids are currently flying far and wide across the country on The Air Sick Tour . After playing a clutch of shows supporting OK Go, HKoH continued the live circuit by embarking on their own tour. Supported by Ernest Ellis and scenewave favourites, Boy & Bear , Hungry Kids are set to debut a host of new tracks from their forthcoming debut album. According to vocalist Dean McGrath, 'We have some brand new songs which we’ll be playing for the first time so the show will be a little different [...]
Boy & Bear Boy & Bear was formed in early 2009 by Jake Tarasenko (bass), Dave Hosking (lead vocals/guitar), Killian Gavin (vocals/guitars) and Tim Hart (drums/vocals.) They’re based in Sydney, and are built up by the collaboration of three front men of separate bands. The combination of three songwriters has resulted in songs that reflect a variety [...]

Don't be afraid of the ruthless killing machine , Boy & Bear are here to make you feel safe. The Sydney quartet is currently only ciruculating 2 tracks from their upcoming EP, but damn they're good. Lead singer David Hosking's vocals have the depth of David Gray and the occasional slipperiness of a young Jeff Tweedy . Made up of four former lead singers, Boy & Bear are never lacking in harmony and have the indie pop sensibilities of fellow folk crooners Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. I'm very excited to see [...]

I've never been a Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber, but I think I'm going to take the leap. I visited my parents in grand Cincinnati this weekend for the holidays and my mother and I also took the winding four hour drive through Tennessee, as they have a vacation cabin just outside of Knoxville. Along the way, I got to play with the in-dash satellite radio gadget. Sirius XMU is channel 43 on the dial, and while I've long been aware of the existence of the station, it was nice to finally listen in. The all-indie [...]
"Moinmoin. Heute Nacht sind zwei Bären - eine Mutter und ihr Junges - um euer Zelt rumgeschlichen. Habt ihr es auch bemerkt?" So wurden wir am Morgen beim Frühstück von unseren Nachbarn begrüsst. Nein, ausser dass mitten in der Nacht das Lagerfeuer völlig unmotiviert wieder zu prasseln anfing, hatten wir nichts bemerkt. Und dann - ein Spass kommt selten allein: "falls ihr über El Portal nach San
