Introducing The Holidays

The Holidays comprise of four former Sydney Uni students who are in the search for the perfect colonial pop. The Holidays as a name apart from being fucking awesome is very in sync with their musical sound as they play happy upbeat melodic indie-pop and listening to them is a pleasure. Musically they draw influence from all over the shop including brit-pop (arctic monkeys, bloc party) , colonial cousins the strokes and many other indie/alt/garage rock bands. In Precedence of this (I'm a lawyer bitches...... not really) they sound distinctly familiar but still have their own definite sound. Their songs are full of catchy riffs and hooks and make you want to get on the dance floor. After seeing them earlier this year at the Norfolk basement they sound fucking tight live and are a blast to see!

You can catch them with Yves Klein Blue on The Immaculate Confection Tour all over Australia this October. Their playing at amplifier tonight and in Fremantle on sunday so head down and check them out as I'm sure they wont disappoint.

Also their second EP - When the the ship goes down is due out tomorrow!
You can hear all of the new EP on their myspace over here.
Overall their pretty fuckin awesome!

Bag Raiders

This is straight from the HipsterRunoff via havefunclub so head over their to check it out. It's a new tune from Bag Raiders and it's an awesome way to get back into the swing of summer. It reminds me of being on a tropical beach, drinking out of a coconut and makes me fucking amped for this summer! Im off to the beach over and out.

Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars (Instrumental)

Bonus: very funny stuff about dating.

Perth is Getting Taller

Hey Perf Kids,
This is your newest tallest building and it's getting built right now! It's called BHP tower/City Square and it will be fucking massive. When its done it will be the tallest OFFICE tower in all of Australia and comes in at 270 meters to the spire! Take that east coast cousins we now have:

1) Better Beaches and weather (manly beach is still awesome)

2) The tallest office tower (when it's finished)

3)The richest man, Mr Andrew Forrest the CEO of Fortescue Metals Group but cos the world economy is going down, down, down and even china town may not save our arse he has lost about $6 billion dollars over the last 6 months and now is number 2. It's okay mate your still worth infinitley more that me at around $6 billion dollars.

4)The bell tower which is retarded. It's too small to be a icon and has bells in it FUCKIN WOOP DEE DOOO.

5) Ben Cousins on the gear and still winning brownlows your the man Benny! (even though he's no longer an eagles he's still a West Australian)

Yeh so pretty much Perth is the shit yeh and we should abandon the east coast and become our own country!

A trip on a Yellow Submarine

So its just an ordinary day like every other one................ until out of nowhere a MAGICAL FUCKING GARDEN GNOME runs out a bush in your sunny backyard and asks you to take a ride in a magical submarine. At the start your like WTF man, this is some Harry Potter styled crazy shit going on and then you think to yourself OHWELL FUCK IT, this will have to be more interesting than university any day.

+ +
=


Finally after a crazy as fuck trip you arrive in your submarine to the land of RAINBOWS and UNICORNS and damn it looks pretty. Just like the magical forests in all the Disney movies, this place is like the garden of Eden but even better. As you gather yourself together you think to yourself? In this enchanted fairyland what type of music they play? Then out of the forest your ears are filled with only the best euphoric and blissful pop you've ever heard!!!!!

Passion Pit - Sleepy Head
Boy Crisis - 1981 featuring Cake on Cake
Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool


After hours on end of a blissful afternoon, finally you know your time is up. The gravity disappears and slowly you begin floating up into to the heavens and into the star filled sky.
If this ever actually happens to me (and I'm not as high as a kite) the only music i want to be listening to as I'm watching the star filled sky and the curvature of the earth is memory cassette! Listen to the fantastic lo-fi disco bliss on the memory cassette EP for free off their awesome blog.

Im outta here to go stargazing and munch some tasty acid, later people!

Kaiser Chiefs - Never Miss A Beat (Yuksek Remix)

Howdy Everyone.
After Seeing Yuksek at Parklife I thought it was time to put up one of his awesome remixes. This ones totally legal and from the the awesome rcrdlbl. In my opinion I prefer this to the cut copy remix but their both good! Yuksek turns this into a dancefloor hit with a heavy bassline and cos' I'm a bit of a Kaiser Chiefs fan this was always gonna tickle my fancy!
