Found out through a series of phone calls, that tonight FisherKing was played on triple j! Not only where we played, but Rosie Beaton found us through our Unearthed page and liked our song so much that she decided to play it. Not only that, but then (on air I am told) a review was written on our unearthed page.

All this happened at around 8:30pm or so. Pretty stoked at the moment. Hopefully this will be the start of many. And yeah! That is a 4/5 stars.

Next step is to get Crazy Days in Tokyo played … somehow I don’t think the world is ready for that though.

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Black Kids - Partie Traumatic Kings of Leon - Only By The Night

MGMT write pretty amazing songs. It has taken me a while to get into it, but I am diggin it now.

After all the fun with ‘Crazy Days in Tokyo’ I thought I would get into some electro-synth keyboard sounds. Black Kids delivers just that. Only way to really enjoy the album is to follow one rule: when the girls voice annoys you, skip the track.

Kings Of Leon have changed a fair bit and this is the first album I have enjoyed since Youth and Young Manhood. The song ‘Sex on Fire‘ is a bit worrisome though - sounds like somethings wrong … perhaps an inflammation or a rash. Definitely something to talk to you GP about.

At uni I chose the subject ‘Electronic Music‘. For our main assignment we had to record a song and so I chose to do the filthiest, nastiest, cheesiest synth anthem I could. Mission accomplished.

I got Steph to make up some lyrics and sing over it which turned out really great - especially cause they are in french. Download it and have a listen - especially take note of the massive 80’s guitar solo that is harmonized … with finger tapping. Yes.

It’s called ‘Crazy Days in Tokyo‘.  I completely expect it to be the next big thing on the internet.  My very own sneezing panda or fat kid dancing.

hear something fishy?

FisherKing EP

Yesterday I picked up 1000 FisherKing EP’s.  It is pretty all exciting.  It is the first CD cover design that I have done like this.

We are having an EP Preview Show at the Brass Monkey on 8th October.  Come down and check it out if you are round that way.
