LOCAL ROCKERS: The Bonzai Birds - Wrong Is Right As Rain
Great guitar tones and a nice opening refrain with chilled out vocals all combining together bring to mind an NZ Tame Impala. A band that must be one of the only Australasian rock bands to be nominated for a Grammy. The song is a rhythumic juxtaposition with blending tones and melodies which make it in my mind a great song to listen to on a rainy Sunday morning (smoking a cigarette). If this is the benchmark of Bonzai Birds work I'm excited and looking forward to hearing more music from these rockers. "Right As Rain" is definitely a song with multiple layers which is the best type of song, because every time you listen to it you can focus in on new parts of the arrangement keeping things dope. A really promising song commercially and critically. Moss from The Neos

New Video: Mas Ysa - "Why" - (Ice Hockey indie music video)
Residing in Brooklyn, NY Mas Ysa has delivered up stunner called "Why". The tune has been doing really well on top music blogs around the world. I really like the visuals and theme in his video. It reminds me off all my friends that like to train hard in sport. One of my friends is also a top ice hockey player who represented New Zealand and I think he will really like it.
My other friend James is an avid Lacrosse player and I think he will dig it. It's really great to see an indie video with sports in it. Maybe if there were more videos likes this we'd actually get out more and play sport :)

Cage The Elephant's New Video, Band News and Album
If you haven't seen it already here is Cage the Elephant's new music video "Come a little Closer" via RCA records. The video is old-skool and tripped out reminding Gabe of Mgmt and me off children scribbling with crayons outside the lines. I first heard the song on the radio a couple months ago when it was going for airplay in NZ. I think it prefers the computer screen to be honest, its just more chilled out and not so much a dodgy-radio song laughs.
What I also found shocking was Cage's long-term guitarist leaving the band. Lincoln Parish had been with the guys for over ten years, beginning when he was only 15. He's now just on the verge of 25 and has turned to the role of the producer in Nashville aka "Music City". Although the guitarists departure from the band is a significant he will probably help out a lot shaping and playing on the bands later records. Parish decided that he wasn't all that into touring and really just wanted to make records for living. A ballsy move in my opinion especially when you are leaving something that you've spent so long building up. Lincoln's words kind of sum it up i've spent '1/3 of my life rocking in the band".
Here is also the fans stand out track "Cigarette Daydreams", its a more relaxed tune but it could definetly grow on you if given a chance;
And if your a real fiend here is the whole album "Melophobia" to stream on youtube:

Sleeper Agent's New Rock Single "Waves" - A Dose of Californication
If you haven't been to Los Angeles the feeling is kind of hard to describe but you can capture it anywhere in the state. I guess it's just the pure dopiness underpinning the capital of world entertainment. And its not the dopiness of down and outers buzzing out on Sunset Boulevards in the middle of the night. Instead of picturing a dark nightmare try and conjure up a euphoric feeling, like living in a fairytale were everyone is satisfied. The reason for the happiness in LA is because everyone has travelled hundreds of miles across the U.S in the vast majority in search of opportunity a career or at the very least a good time. When I listen to Sleeper Agents song Waves this is what it reminds me of the very fabric of the West Coast built up over time and cemented by the carefree days and great vibes in the sweet sunshine. Perhaps the Chilli Peppers hit the nail on the head when they named that special buzz 'Californication'. Whatever it is The Eagles, Gram Parson and the plethora of other countless Californian legends didn't come out of nowhere. And neither did Sleeper Agent so keep your ears perked for the new record dropping early 2014, on Mom + Pop/RCA. On a personal note I am really looking forward to the rockier material on record. I just hope my computer speakers can cope with the audio onslaught on full volume, fingers crossed they survive !!!
