»78s
Die Amerikanischen Musikblogs sind ja Spezialisten darin, anlässlich ihres Nationalfeiertages Mixtapes zusammenzustellen. Auch wir legen dieses Jahr unsere Zurückhaltung in Sachen Patriotismus beiseite und präsentieren das vielleicht einzige Mixtape zum 1. August. 78s befindet sich gerade in seiner patriotischsten Woche ever. Am Mittwoch haben wir Die (richtigen) grössten Schweizer Hits lanciert und heute präsentieren wir für den morgigen Nationalfeiertag eigens ein Mixtape. Damit die Swissness nicht total Überhand gewinnt, befindet sich keine einzige Schweizer Band auf dem Mixtape. Das Mixtape ist übrigens vergleichbar mit einem 1.August-Feuerwerk: Ein sanfter Beginn wird abgelöst durch [...]
Wolf Gang is Max McElligott and he makes fine alternative popular songs. The bit Irish, bit German works out of East London. If David Byrne sung on some Band of Horses songs, you're around the sort of sound that he makes. He released 'Pieces of You' a couple of weeks back, which is a good track. I like the one below more, and there are a couple on his myspace that I hope are going to be on the forthcoming album that he's working on currently. Wolf Gang – Night Flying /myspace
Wolf GangPieces Of You Label: Neon GoldReleased: July 13th The Neon Gold label out of New York emanates knife-sharp contemporary suss: their recent catalogue includes vinyl only releases from both Marina & The Diamonds and Passion Pit. Their latest release is just as inspiringly good: Wolf Gang's eccentrically brilliant 'Pieces Of You' merges its influences with ease, coming on like The Talking
Wolf Gang - Pieces of You The kind of '80s inspired synth pop that's recorded in a bedroom can make for wildly varying results, but London's Max McElligott seems to be on the right track. Mixing a vocal style similar to David Byrne with harmonies befitting Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear, the 22-year-old apparently turned down a job with the Foreign Office to sign with Neon Gold and begin work on a debut album with producer Blue May. 'Pieces of You' is available on a limited edition 7" with 'The Kill'. [...]
We have a jam-packed Friday Mixtape for you this week and with names like Yo La Tengo, Lou Barlow, Ben Harper and Wale included, it's also a stellar one at that. So, without further adieu, please enjoy this week's mix of the best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. NEW Singles: "Hustle Beach" by Baby Teeth "At The Cut" by The Cave Singers "Soldier" [...]
There's not as many as past weeks, but the few that are here this week pack a solid punch! I am dying to hear the Calvin Harris full length, but I suppose the remix below will have to hold me over. Mando Diao-Dance with Somebody (Rodeon Remix) [mp3] The Sounds-Beatbox (Hey Champ Remix) [mp3] Wolf Gang-Pieces of You (Baby Monster Remix) [mp3] Fink-Sort of Revolution (The Cinematic Orchestra [...]
I just received two new remixes of Wolf Gang new single, " Pieces of you". In case you have not heard this single, its kind of a 70's fusion of different instruments, I quite like the Fifth Dimension feel that his music has; the remixes bring the neon lights into the song which makes it more suitable across the dance floor. Wolf Gang - Pieces of You Wolf Gang - Night Flying Wolf Gang - Pieces of you (Baby [...]
Max McElligott aka Wolf Gang is a school dropout turned pop enthusiast from Londontown. McElligott makes a brand of sugar cane world pop that's caffeinated and carbonated, shaken up and just ready to get set off to explode. The first...
My how many bands are there with Wolf in their name at the moment? Nevermind the naming competition though, because the best one of the lot has turned up in the form of Wolf Gang a.k.a Max McElligot, the part German, part Irish song craftsman. I have to thank Angus over at State Management for the heads up about him a good few months ago, but shamefully that was during my law exam writing hiatus so I never got a chance to write him up at the time, with his only feature on here in my summer [...]
Remember when I messed up and said Neon Gold was going to release Ellie Goulding? Well, I effed up! Neon Gold, is releasing the debut single of new UK act, Wolf Gang . The 73 is delightful pop songs that make me yearn for days when tape player Walkman's were cool. They have the sound of something that would be on the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie. Wolf Gang have a lot of buzz going around about them. It could be because they are already playing shows with Miike Snow, Marina & the Diamonds, and Temper [...]
Neon Gold is having an event today (16.07) at 7pm & will feature special acoustic sets from Wolf Gang & the inimitable Marina & The Diamonds. Entry is free & on a first come first... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Marina & The Diamonds' MySpace page just announced that the kooky starlet-to-be will be playing an intimate, private acoustic set at London's Sanderson Hotel on Thursday, in their orchard no less! Yikes - that's tomorrow! The night's being curated by the heavenly oracles at Neon Gold Records, and the excellent Wolf Gang are supporting. You can get [...]
What is Wolf Gang ? Max McElligot - Wolf Gang is the name of my project. Whoever plays with me on stage, if it's just me or other people too, we are all members of Wolf Gang. I've never made a decision to make music, it isn't a choice, I have made music since I can remember. I would go mad without it. I suppose though that making music can sometimes be a good means of escapism. [...]
Over dinner last evening I mistakenly thought it was Monday night. It wasn't. We laughed. In this way LA has a familiarity and also lacks boundaries. When the weather never changes and the people intentionally deny the relevance of aging, it can be awfully hard to place yourself in time and space. I mean, this looks real.This town is a completely surrealist reimagining of the American city. It's
Image by Tom O'Neill It's always nice when the opportunity arises to include two Illegal Tender favourites in one post, so when I heard that the recently blogged Baby Monster had remixed Wolf Gang's debut single Pieces Of You (released through the almost sickeningly Midas-like Neon Gold ), I couldn't resist. I'd even go as far as to say that I prefer this over the original, Baby Monster have just given the track more energy and life and [...]
flickr: 4500! Friday sees the fourth part of Levi's One to Watch 5 Night Revue at The Vibe Bar on Brick Lane. Whilst tonight's event with Passion Pit, Fanfarlo and Apples is quite the lineup, Friday promises to be something special. First up is the much vaunted Wolf Gang . Night Flying had me from the word go and follow-up Pieces of You has crawled under my skin to the point where the song pretty much owns me like the mask [...]
Disco Bloodbath add another winner to their remix arsenal. Bloodbath's remix of "Pieces of You" builds it up slowly and never quite brings you over the edge but rather leaves you full like a good meal. And thankfully it never loses sight of Wolf Gang in the mix. Lovelovelove the use of guitar in this remix; kinda hoping guitar is making a comeback but not really holding my breath. Wolf Gang - "Pieces of You" (Disco Bloodbath remix) The original is out on Neon Gold - I've [...]
The UK based, Max McElligot fronted band Wolf Gang is getting set to release a new record as a follow up to their demo tracks, which included the song, 'Night Flying'. The Ltd Edition single 'Pieces of You' & B-side 'The Kill' will be available via Neon Gold Records on July 13th on 7" and digital download. I wasn't able to find too much information regarding Wolf Gang , but they certainly seem like a band worth paying attention to. Take A Listen: Night Flying by Wolf Gang [...]
