Legendary kiwi rockers The Bats are to return this April with The Guilty Office , their first album of new material since 2005 (it'll be their 8th LP overall). It's coming out on Hidden Agenda and is available for pre-order now from Parasol . The record will be preceded in April by the 73 Don't You Rise EP, which collects four tracks from 1998-2003 and will be released by the mighty Slumberland Records . In other kiwi news, there's a rumor making the rounds that 2009 [...]
DOWNLOAD : DJ PHATRICK X A SONG FOR OURSELVES MIXTAPE (zshare) DJ Phatrick has been involved in the Bay Area hip hop community since his escape from Texas in 2000. Since then he has gone on to co-found the Bay Unity Music Project, a digital music and recording enrichment program for youth and young adults; DJ'd for the legendary Native Guns hip hop group; hosts APEX EXPRESS, a weekly Asian Pacific Islander public affairs radio program on 94.1FM KPFA; and, oh yea, rocked hella parties. Whether in [...]
A: Kiwi double amputee Nadya Vessey got a mermaid tail , from Narnia or something. The moral of the story is that being a double amputee is awesome. Vessey: Darling it's better down where it's wetter The downside is that she had to give some octopus lady her voice.
The Spooks are a side project of the Black Lips along with local musicians Mark Naumann and Adam Bruneau ( The Kiwis ). The band is Halloween themed as they dress up in white sheets like ghosts for their shows and the music is a very "spooky" variety of psychedelic garage-punk. They finally released their debut album, Death From Beyond The Grave , a project that had been in the works for years. The first side of the record is the album itself, and the second side is a bunch of live cuts. If you enjoy [...]
Octobre 2008, nous n'avions pas encore lancé ce blog lors de la sortie de cet album dément. On se rattrape donc ! Sorti chez Die Slaughterhaus records, le premier LP des Spooks , Death From Beyond The Grave , est un concentré de folie Géorgienne. Composé de membres des Black Lips, Deerhunter, Kiwis et Baby Dinosaurs vs. Extinction, ce groupe est avant tout une énorme farce. Une contamination de la nappe phréatique par une fuite de caféine provenant de l'usine coca d'Atlanta aurait été pareil. On joue donc masqué, enroulé de papier, [...]
Die Slaughterhaus , the notorious Atlanta record company at the center of our garage-punk scene, seems to be diving deeper into the world of video. The 5 minute short film above called Ghost Abortions just showed up on youtube, and as one would expect, it is as offensive as the musical acts you would associate with the label. What interested me most about it is that The Kiwis contributed their music for the soundtrack. The Kiwis , aka The Kiwis of the South Pacific , are a band that I've [...]
It's about time we hit you with something a little more aggressive. French producer ART WHIPLASH has just released his EP entitled Party, Sex and Bullshit chock full of heavy electro gooeyness. The whole EP arrived in our mailbox this week featuring remixes from fellow Parisians The Toxic Avenger , KiWi and Englishmen Youth Attack! . ART WHIPLASH - Party, Sex and Bullshit ART WHIPLASH - Party, Sex and Bullshit (THE TOXIC AVENGER Remix) ART WHIPLASH [...]
So i'd never heard of this guy called Art Whiplash before, but i'm so glad I gave this email a read, because I was greeted by something special --- new remixes by big favourites, The Toxic Avenger and Youth Attack! Then I thought to myself; people who are privileged enough to get remixing duties done by such talent must have some skills of their own. I would say upon listening to his original mix of "Party, Sex and Bullshit" that that assumption is quite the right one to make. The promo guys were [...]
Formerly known as: The Kiwis of the South Pacific Today, I thought I would be making a post about an attempt for Higher Beauty (musically, of course). Needless to say, once you listen to the Kiwis, you will understand why this post couldn't typically be entitled so. They are musically planets away from the beautiful vocal's of Nina Simone, or the other-worldy instrumentation of Sigur Ros, or Efterklang (from what little I've [...]
