left myself behind – TOY

February 21, 2012 Leave a comment

TOY is a Korg Delta led five-piece formed in 2010. It consists of Tom Dougall (Vox/Guitars), Dominic O’Dair (Guitars), Maxim Barron (Bass/Vox), Alejandra Diez (Synthesizers/Modulation) and Charlie Salvidge (Drums/Vox). TOY’s musical influences incorporate a wide range of genres including punk, psychedelia, krautrock, post rock to name a few and they explore experimental recording techniques in the studio.

With the majority of 2010 spent writing, TOY played their first show at the Cave Club in Islington earlier this year. Since then the band have played a string of live performances including Field Day and 1234 festivals and have supported bands such as The Horrors and The Pretty Things. Their first single – Left Myself Behind – is out now.

death scene – black twig

there’s something about finland that we should find out. after french films, come black twig.
described, rightfully, as “Black Twig builds on the tradition of jangly, distorted rhythm music. The sound echoes of modern fuzzed out pop experiments as well as of 60s garage rock gems, sometimes developing a sensibility for hypnotic, repetitive drones.”

sunny skies – pink playground

February 14, 2012 Leave a comment

Houston, TX’s Pink Playground have hatched one of this years finest shoegaze tributes with their debut album, ‘Destination Ecstasy’. In the finest tradition of MBV or Jesus & Mary Chain it comprises eight cathartic noise pop stuns, hewn from amp-busting and jangling guitars, brittle drum machines and swooning, glossolalic vocals haunted by wraith-like synth dissonance, sometimes feeling so perfect they’re about to implode in a shower of excoriating diamond dust. It’s out-and-out pop music, of the almost-painfully beautiful kind, manicured distortion amping a sense of socio-cultural isolation, cocooning the neurotic bedroom listener in a (Kevin) shield(s) of narcissistic reverb reflections. Utterly lush stuff, well recommended.” – Boomkat

hey girls hey boys!
Get ready for a night of freakin dancin this Sat as deck punks, 4imaginaryboys, bring you a very special edition of LOADED; this time!
Come Saturday, young adult friction never looked so good coz us boys have Hong Kong’s top indie DJ collective cum gig promoter, SONGS FOR CHILDREN, to wreck the decks together at BluJaz Space!

Disappointed with the lack of indie parties in Hong Kong, Scottish couple, Mike Mystery and Jane Blondel, launched SONGS FOR CHILDREN, an unpretentious night of dancing, sing-a-longs and unapologetic fun. Armed with their tambourines and signature ‘No Coldplay Guarantee’, the duo has since become a staple in the city’s burgeoning indie music scene.
Other than these crazy nights, SONGS FOR CHILDREN have brought countless indie acts such as The Drums, Yuck, Asobi Seksu to Hong Kong.

So gather your dancing shoes and head down to BLUJAZ this Saturday for another fun LOADED night! woohoo!!!

dreamy days – wallflower

January 15, 2012 Leave a comment

is there something about the indie scene in osaka that we should know? the city has given us the amazing surf-fuzz of friends (now known as teen runnings) and now, wallflower.
wallflower will be the opening act of the pains of being pure at heart/ weekend’s upcoming gigs in tokyo.
based on this track, the band is something worth checking out in the near future.
