THE PARTY

NEWISLANDS AND ELECTRILICKERS

Sister ... Sisters!

Tipped by Brooklyn Vegan as a band to watch, Sisters tick all the right boxes for me!....The Brooklyn 2 Piece who I'm sure have been compared to most of the Lo-fi bands that have managed to slither onto most Blogs this year...Like Wavves...No Age...etc etc!

For Me though the band are a little different and The New Yorker was spot on when it said "Sisters pull 90s Rock into the 21st Century"

Its more than ok !

there's a certain satifaction for me when I find something I really love by accident! And this is what happened with Zebra and Snake

They have a great sound, i mean it is very "Now" and "synthy 80s" but whatever I like it and i espcially love the last video on the myspace... If thats how it makes people react I cant wait to see them live...





It's a shame as i have just missed there 3 London shows....by a few days! but I wait eagerly for the next !

Little Spark - Jonjo Feather

This Is drenched in Lo-fi Distortion, I'm amazed that this song is not all over the radio and http://www.myspace.com/jonjofeather isnt bigger than he is! he should be....

Little Spark - was Released September this year and below is the Video, Jonjo Comes across and a Unique of kilter and super cool!

Its a Hit !

The Guys Over at Hit Club are on it !

Releasing Wolf Gang ! and then Is Tropical ... They really can do no wrong...

The Is Tropical Boys have been Busy Writing so There Twitter would Suggest and not Only that, it looks like the Remixes for there Single due for release Jan 2010 have come rolling in ....You can Hear all the remixes HERE!

And if i read twitter correctly...they will be remixing Crystal Fighters! looking forward to it....

You can Listen to my Favorite of the remixes Below...

Is Tropical - When 'O' When (NewIslands Remix)

New Era? New Sounds? NewIslands !

NewIslands seem to have stormed onto the radar at the end part of 2009 and are now being tipped by various blogs including Digital My Ass as the band to watch out for in 2010...New Era, New Sound, NewIslands...so it would seem! And with Everyone's a DJ Has gone as far as to say the band are a degree above Miike Snow .

For me NewIslands merge most of the sounds from my favourite bands, past and present ... Shivers has The darkness of Echo and the Bunny man with the same stylistics of Miike Snow Burial, Paradise is a pop classic waiting to happen and Out of Time takes elements of MgMt and turn it on its side and into an anthem any festival could be proud of...Out of Time is a song that we should all be humming Reading 2010 ! and then theres the more interesting sounding tracks like Girl from Venus with its Acid Casualty sound circa 67, that shows the bands love for music like The Doors, Japan and Syd Barret... With such an eclectic bunch of songs there actually is something for all ears!

I Mean you should really check them out for yourselves - NewIslands and what I suggest you do is catch them live in December @ 229 ...as the live experience is something else and brings across a totally different (equally as epic) vibe to the tracks on the myspace.

I have heard through the grapevine, that there's a few more sneaky remixes lurking about... I know for sure of Out of time (Is Tropical Remix) and of course the amazing Active Child Remix, but i have also heard of a possible remix by serious lover, new band, Breton and aka Disco as well as other's but that's all shhh shh at the moment! so its exciting times for NewIslands....

With all this happening in less than a year (the band formed in march)
It leaves you wondering what they will have for us this time next year? if justice is served, the band should be signed, on a world tour, and living the dream! I'm sure they will be! x
