The Neo-Kalashnikovs - Heavy Rotation on KUCR and WRSU (Both Coasts of the U.S.A)

I'd just like to say a giant thank you too KUCR in California and WRSU in New Jersey for playing the Neo-Kalashnikovs on heavy rotation. It's so awesome to have both coasts going hard and supporting the band on College radio. It's super humbling to be on the airwaves in the U.S.A. Especially on the West Coast were we've preformed a lot in the past (hopefully in the future too)
and have a great bunch of friends in the music biz.

I'd really like to thank Dan and the team for their amazing work and rocking with us. I'm looking forward to possibly releasing an even stronger record in the states and the U.K as well. The good times are coming, no, they're already here!!! :)

Good bye First Drum Kit - The Neo-Kalashnikovs

Gave away my first drum kit today to my young neighbour. It was a red Premier jazz kit by Olympic and it still sounded great when I set it up for the last time sob ;( It was always a very musical drum kit, I remember playing it at the Kings Arms back in the day and this guy miked up a 5 grand kit before I played and it sounded good but then mine was miked up and it sounded so much better haha the sound engineer was really impressed haha. You never hear people talk about the quality of Pine wood in drum kits but I can tell you nothing never sounded so good!!  I got the drum kit when I was 10 so time it goes to another 10 year old. It will be awesome to have another drummer in the neighbourhood deflecting some of the pesky fun polices attention away from me haha. A Big thank you too Richard Foulkes Jnr for teaching me how to play the drums!! You'll be happy to know I'm working hard on the drum rudiments and speed and finger control as well as new drum grooves. I got bored of playing the same stuff over and over again so I've decided I want to play everything. Big thanks to Jeremy Bioletti for helping me in my quest to play the drums and driving me round to all the various rock clubs to watch me bash the drum kit into the floorboards. My closing statement on the Olympic, would be that it was a great drum kit and damn we sure did get our money's worth out of it haha  Moss Bioletti

(Just for reference I used the Tom and snare from the Olympic when we recorded "Turn the Tables" and "Gorgeous Baby")

Story behind The Neo-Kalashnikovs - "Turn the Tables"

If you know someone who likes NZ Rock please share this song to them on the line! pretty please :)

This song is The Neo-Kalashnikovs first ever national rock hit in New Zealand thanks to Radio Hauraki FM. I'd just like to say a big thanks to Greg Prebble for believing in the band and giving this song a shot and all the dj's for cranking it out across the airwaves. I'd also like to thank Olly Harmer at The Lab in Mt Eden for doing such an amazing job on engineering and the mixing of the single. Brian Lucey also kicked some serious ass when he mastered the song delivering that sonic silky sheen.Volita you rock thanks for writing the music and lyrics and singing and playing guitar! what a powerhouse (in a tight package), Gabe for smashing out a killer bass line and Moss for playing drums. A giant thank you to our Dad Jeremy Bioletti for producing this record, if it wasn't for you this song wouldn't be what is, love ya heaps and Mum for believing in all of us. This song was definitely a career highlight in music for the band, and if I think back a bit it almost didn't happen, we were having problems getting a definitive take. Finally on the third try after Dad stepped in to the studio and told us to slow it all down and play it like a slacker everything clicked into place and "Turn the Tables" was born (Rick Rubin move over) haha :)

James Fitz for booking the bands and sorting out the gig posters. And of course all the bands that preformed on the night including "Bloodbags" who reminded me of a really rocky Arcade Fire put through a blender. Thin White Lines for their full energy performance, I was stoked you played my favourite song "Control", damn thought they played it :) . And last but by no means least a giant shout out to Dead Beat Boys for swinging of the roof and tearing sh#t up with their closing song "Robotronics".

They will also be very intimate shows and we are always keen to chat with people who like our music or just music in general.
