Admittedly I have been a bit rubbish with this years West End Festival, so far I have managed to miss the Fence Collective show and the Electric Honey Records Showcase. I am however hoping to make it along to the Big BBQ Show at Oran Mor which being put on by innovative promoters, KMR Promotions as part of the closing party for the West End Festival on Sunday 26th June. Running from 1pm through until 10pm, the event will showcase some fine local talent alongside some unique international acts, plus be a massive BBQ, pig on a spit, a mariachi [...]
There's a natural order of usefulness when it comes to the prickly task of finding new bands, and it runs something like this: Personal recommendation by friend; Live gig; CD drunkenly shoved into hand at gig; Excitable email from band; PR bluster grinding writer down until capitulation. Gala Drop were introduced to me via method number one whilst talking with a friend about music late one night in Lisbon. There were echoes of methods numbers three and four within the, [...]

[ Golf Channel Recordings ] ( buy vinyl ) The last few years have seen a proliferation of bands working the angle of "live band" techno and house. The prospect of bringing the music full-circle to its roots in kraut rock, jazz, and funk is a tantalizing one, but most of these attempts are too stiff, too focused on the mechanics. You could almost count Lisbon's Gala Drop among their ranks if they weren't so limber. Overcoat Heat , their four-track EP for the Golf Channel label, is a [...]

Supporting Panda Bear is usually a good sign that your music is getting heard by the right people, as is being featured on blogs such as Altered Zones , yvynyl , and Salad Fork , but it's with good reason that Gala Drop are developing a real buzz. As you might expect from an artist supporting Panda Bear, Portugal's Gala Drop are a little bit weird, which is something that works in their favour given that being [...]

Portugal freaks of nature Gala Drop entice and entertain with warm eclectic sounds built for dreamers and the lost. The 'Overcoat Heat' ep is as simple as it is mysterious, with collected lo-fi melodies pieced together in wayward fashion. Title track 'Drop' and 'Izod' are stand outs by showing the listener sunny tropiciness and forward gaze. Gala Drop - Drop 192 Gala Drop - Izod 192 go buy at juno now... please Ubbs
31. Dan Kaufman's Shiboleth @ Lounge (14/10)Se eu aqui elegesse a figura do ano, Dan Kaufman podia bem estar lá no topo (ou perto dali). Este ano, esteve cá com os Barbez (esperem por mais desta lista) e, mais tarde, com um projecto semi-improvisado, ao lado de dois portugueses, Enrique TK e Gustavo Costa. Composições de origem judaica, algumas delas com mais de dois mil anos, em formato

Eyyyy Melbourne chumps, we'll be playing at New Guernica tomorrow & Friday night so come say g'day and have a beer! Really looking forward to getting out of town. As far as first days of summer go, this probably rates about a 9000 on the bullshit scale. As such I'm lacking motivation and you'll just have to trust me on these selections. Gala Drop 's recent EP released on Golf Channel is so lovely. Don't know quite how to classify it overall but it deserves far better weather than this. Essential for summer when it's [...]

Just recently I was tipped to the ambient star crossed global indie rhythms of Portugal's Gala Drop by the folks over at Neu Magazine and I've been delighting to their magical grooves since. File under: Some crazy kind of tropical fusion indie progrock. Download some music here The wondrous video below is of the song "Drop"
Maybe we are not as prolific as Bradford Cox but we're back again with your usual Friday treat. It's a nice blend of indie-pop, electronic, fresh R&B, folk, ambient, there's even some slinky harmonic soul on there and it all ends in one of 20102s best electro-pop songs. Providing the soundtrack we have Summer Fiction , Atlas Sound , Soulja Boy , Ricky Eat Acid , James Vincent McMorrow , Minks , Dog Bite , Samsun, Chalices of the Past , Steve Mason , Levek , Gala [...]
