Band on the Run...from their Promoter

Tired of being pushed around and suffering from the flu The Neo's decide to pull out of a gig at their local bar. Their promoter who is paying them $1 a minute is incensed & says that they will never play in Auckland again...Moss's thoughts on this (drummer) from his couch, dressed in his grand fathers woollen dressing gown that is a few sizes too small is heart felt and deep.

Band On the Run - How to Drum Left Handed - Neo-Kalashnikovs

Not everyone's favourite neighbour...The Neo's drummer Moss Bioletti likes to practise before breakfast. He plays the drums with his little toddler niece to The Wiggles Quack Quack Quack Cockadoodledoo for a warm up, then launches into it in his PJs. Moss is left handed so this video would be good for people who would like to see how this is done. Follow The Neo's, a three piece sibling indie rock band. They live a quiet life down in the Antipodes, Auckland, New Zealand and they just wanna make music. Subscribe to follow.

The "She's On Heat" North Island Rock Tour | The Neo-Kalashnikovs

                  Designed by Volita and Moss

Lead Singer/Guitarist Volita Pearl of The Neo-Kalashnikovs rocking out in Palmerston North.
  Her guitar tones inducing unstoppable head-banging motions from the front to the back :) 

After playing Hamilton, Palmy and Wellington in the North Island for 3 weekends in a row I've got to say it was intense. The best part about the tour for me was playing across NZ as joint headliner. Although it's obvious the live scene has suffered a serious decline of 80% due to recession. Dis-regarding this bull my favourite memories are as follows; playing on the Giant stage at Altitude Bar that bands like Shapeshifter,Blacklistt and Shihad and other countless rock acts have slaughtered. Then I think the best performance of the Tour would definitely go to Palmerston North, New Zealand show were the crowd was insane and some OG's head banging at the back cracked me up mid-set seriously Palmy knows how to head bang Boy!!! 

    The Neo-Kalashnikovs playing Altitude Bar on some Vector Arena level vibes in the Hammer.
            A Big thank you to Laurie, Nicky and Craig for making the show next level!!!

In reflection it was also super great to drop into Radio Control 99.4FM and hear "Gorgeous Baby" played on University radio. Unlike Douche Fm Control rocks and David and Abi some serious Ass. The station was also super swish with an amazing view of the campus, winning!!!

The best sound of the Tour definitely goes to Bodega the room, desk, speakers and vibe were great. Also the whole band nearly getting physically attacked by a "Superfan" was memorable to say the least. All I can say is thank god for Bouncers. 

    All three siblings Volita, Moss and Gabe rocking at Bodega on a cold Wellington Night.
       It was a huge honour to play at the longest running music venue in NZ history.

Last but not least i'd like to say a massive thanks toForce Fields for kicking out some serious jams across the nation. I swear I saw a rocker patrons head simultaneously explode when you rocked out Zeroing Full Volume at Bodega!!!  Also a giant thank you to Matt for helping book shows the tour couldn't have happened with out you. Jeremy for supplying his legendary bass amp and being generous enough to let Gabe play it and Matt the Drummer of Forcies for letting myself tenderly smash the shit out of his drum kit hahaha  don't tell him I said that 

Finally I'd like to thank Radio Hauraki for playing our songs and talking about the tour nationally. Phantom postering for hitting every lamp post from the Tron to Kaitaia with a tour poster. And our mumager Ruth Bioletti Artist for coming on tour with us and stopping Volita and I getting into titanic sibling level fights on the road haha 

Next up for the band is the release of "She's On Heat (Turn the Tables)" record on U.S college radio, meetings with some school of hard knocks music managers, hitting the studio to make a new swag-laddened record!!! and swanning off to grind it out in England and generally get up to no good haha - Stay Classy NZ

The Neo-Kalashnikovs & Their Italian Record Label: White Zoo Records

The band mailed off 30 copies of our "Turn the Tables/Gorgeous Baby Studio/Live E.P" to Italy last week. Was happy with the product we sent over so hopefully our man Sergio can help flick around our copies before we get our first official vinyl released pressed up. He's a really onto it dude and his awesome label is White Zoo Records. They've released some great releases and some sick punk records. I especially like the glam-rock band Guido who are kick ass and remind me of The Darkness. Here is a link to their latest single and video below:

Rock On The Neos

Sean Bailey VS McDonalds

Sean Bailey was a young McDonalds worker who was unfairly dismissed by his employer. 

The reason for his unjust dismissal was due to the fact that Sean found out and helped expose the corruption of McDonalds not giving legally untitled breaks and not paying their employees what they were legally entitled to be paid.

Millions of dollars is still outstanding to all workers who have been denied their PAID breaks.

The protest also sought to address workers being fired for placing an extra piece of cheese on a burger! Not many people know about these issues due to the active suppressing by the mainstream media. It is not uncommon for NZ Mac Donald's employees to work

for 10 hours without a break! The Neos were out to support UNITE UNION as they protested with Sean against corporate exploitation of young

people and others in New Zealand!

A big thank you to Jo Carolan of Unite Union and Sean Bailey

As well as friend Omar Hamed

Premier: These Violent Delights - Unreleased Songs Now Streaming - Produced by The Neo-Kalashnikovs

                                 


Here are the first live streamings of These Violent Delights produced by Volita Bioletti of The Neo-Kalashnikovs. The as yet unreleased songs were recorded and mixed by Ollie Harmer at The Lab studios in Mt Eden.

These Violent Delights are Blue, AJ, Belinda & Scot all veteran rockers from Auckland, New Zealand.
The group recently preformed a packed out showcase at Kinja bar hosted by John Cameron in Whangaparaoa. I was their to witness their performance first hand and loved it. The stand out track on the night judging by the crowds reaction was "Underground". The song actually reminds me of so many awesome 90's rock anthems that I have grown up listening too. I'm really excited about this new song as I definitely think it has some legs on it.

The official release of the untitled E.P will be due out early 2014. The release will be handled by Rocawave Records in NZ, Aus and their PR subsidiary (name withheld) in Britain. The release will also be out through White Zoo Records, Italy. Doors are still open for label and distribution enquiries in the U.S ;) rocawaverecords@gmail.com

Have a RockNRolling good time going into 2014 and keep those amps up loud!!!
