We bring you the sounds that crash to shore, to wash over you at night
Holy Ghost! are my newest band to watch. Was previously Foals, after Late of the Pier, and ages ago The Juggernauts. But I forsee big things in the future for these guys. Recently signed by the label DFA and dropping this killer single ‘Hold On’. DFA have actually been releasing some amazing stuff recently with Shit Robot, New Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem……I’m hooked.

MP3: Holy Ghost! - Hold On
Busy busy busy. The Presets have taken a break from their ear numbing tour schedule to bang out a new single, ‘My People’, which will be released on December 18th. Check out their myspace tomorrow (21st Nov) for a sneak preview.
UPDATE:
MP3: The Presets - My People
Party Shank. WOAH! Rip out your kid keyboards and music revolution on PSP and lets spit bars!
The combination of, ‘I Will Shank You For A Penny ‘and ‘Party Sausage’ are ‘blurring the line between cacophony and party snacks’. You might laugh now, but these guys are rumored to be signed by Ed Banger and songs have been heard dropped by Castlevania and busy p!
Their EP ‘Gary’ is available to buy on their Myspace. Check out their stuff, and remixes are also really good. Oh just a note, “I will shank you for a penny” is one half of Partyshank.

Sonic Youth are performing here in Melbourne next year, playing the entirety of the amazing ‘Daydream Nation’. I am hoping dearly, after hearing the news of their reformation and tours announced, that My Bloody Valentine will come to Australia to play 1991’s brilliant ‘Loveless’. Ahead of their time and sounding just as good 17 years after their last release. If you live in the UK try and snatch up a ticket to one of these shows fast:
London Roundhouse (June 20, 21, 22)
Manchester Apollo (28, 29)
Glasgow Barrowland (July 2, 3)
Guns N’ Bombs drop yet another killer remix, my favourite thus far. Their latest remix is of the Gossip’s new single ‘Yr Mangled Heart’ which is out on the Back Yard label. The synth work in this track is just beautiful making me shiver each time I hear this track.
MP3: The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Guns N’ Bombs Trashbags Remix)
While on the GNB front, they have got their new mixtape out (# 3) which is @ fluokids so go grab it and take a peek, it’s dope.
Bloc Party’s new single named Flux has just been released. I suppose you could say the track is nothing like Bloc Party at all, which is a very good thing - its more energetic, has more power and will probably replace that overplayed “Banquet” remix that _still_ gets dropped at clubs/parties… *sigh*, move on dammit!!
NME have released a special remixes EP in their latest mag which has a wide variety of remixes: an ‘electro-esk’ JFK remix to even a more soothing ‘rockier/vocodered/synthed’ GoodBooks remix which is my pick of the bunch.
Buy the 12″ with the original, instrumental and the Burial remix of “Where Is Home” now!
MP3: Bloc Party - Flux (JFK Remix)

Apparently these guys have been around for a while but only found out about them because I’m obsessed with pyramids. Video clip is crazy, not to sure about the band though, checked out there other stuff and its extremely similar and not as rad… plus not as many triangles… but man, that acid bass-line, grrr! I’m taking Gran out to dinner!
Golden Plains, the biggest and best blur of my life, is back. If you want in on the ballot you’d better jump in now before its too late and then hear how rad it was. Awesome.
LINEUP: SHARON JONES AND THE DAP KINGS, WEEN, THE VINES, IRON AND WINE, BEIRUT, OPTIMO, THE BANG GANG DEEJAYS, THE DIRTBOMBS, CROOKERS, BRITISH INDIA, THE BAMBOOS, SOUTH RAKKAS CREW, BUFFALO TOM, JAY REATARD, SCIENTISTS OF MODERN MUSIC, FUTURE OF THE LEFT, JANE BADLER AND SIR, KAMIKAZE TRIO, PIKELET, THE SEA AND CAKE AND MANY MORE.
