Shy Child’s Noise Won’t Stop out 7th May with new video, plus Klaxons tour!

tagged , , , , , , , , , and

The title track from the forthcoming new album, Noise Won’t Stop is the perfect primer for the thrills awaiting on Shy Child’s new long-player, with this new single due out on 7th May 2007.

Noise Won\'t Stop A two-man sonic armada, Shy Child are Pete Cafarella and Nate Smith – a New York-based keys & drums duo, capable of making a towering bombardment of sound, larger than that of bands numbering five times as many members. A combination of dance music energy and virtuoso musicianship, they stand out from their peers with their blend of rock energy, fat throbbing synths and hip-hop beats – as perhaps the White Stripes might sound were Jack influenced by Kraftwerk as much as he was Led Zeppelin. And replaced Meg with Clyde Stubblefield.

Noise Won’t Stop sees Nate’s prodigious drumming talent brought to the fore with a performance that redefines ‘funky’, whilst Pete bombards you with fizzing electronic gut-punches ensuring you will dance to this track whether you want to or not. The B-side, Cause & Effect also comes from the forthcoming album (released 21st May) produced by Chris Zane: a gradually building track with a more conventional house beat, though no less funky, with Pete’s synths swelling up to a furious crescendo.

With Pete employing the much-derided ‘keytar’ and an inordinate number of effects pedals to accompany Nate’s inhuman breaks, Shy Child’s live shows have been a key facet in their appeal to UK audiences, who took to them immediately: “I like the energy of those kids going crazy and having fun,” says Nate. “The reaction we get is a lot stronger than in America where the crowds tend to be more reserved.” They can also count Hot Chip among that established UK fanbase, with the Mercury-nominees long-time fans and comrades on an extensive US tour. With Noise Won’t Stop the album imminent, Shy Child will be cementing that reputation with a run of UK shows right through the Spring, including a full UK tour as main support to the Klaxons.

Goose ‘Low Mode’ news and video streams

tagged , , , , , , , , , and

Bring It onGoose have a new single, ‘Low Mode’, coming out on the 19th February. Make sure you watch the video below!

Watch in Real Media by clicking here.

Watch in Windows Media by clicking here.

Goose release their debut album ‘Bring It On’ on 12th February on Skint Records. Initial quantities come with a bonus CD including: ‘Black Gloves (featuring Marcus Graap)’, ‘British Mode (Jesters Mix)’, ‘Bring It On (Tronik Mix)’, ‘Everybody (Dub)’ and ‘Masters On Top’.

They merge rock’n'roll with dance rhythms and nasty, filthy synths to make a blissful, celebratory pop noise with a sinister cinematic undercurrent. Play next to Justice, Daft Punk, The Rapture, Kasabian, Who Made Who, Infadels, LCD Soundsystem, and Hot Chip and even Enter Shikari and New Rave acts like Klaxons.

The album features the swinging, sleazy, insistent ‘British Mode’, the taut Euro-electro of ‘Bring It On’, ‘3T4′ with its psychedelic Beatles harmonies against an electro groove and stomping T-Rex beat, the raving ‘Everybody’, ‘Black Gloves’ buzzing like a nest of angry hornets rockin’ to a super-fast beat, and the original version of ‘Low Mode’.

Last year Goose released 2 acclaimed singles (see above and their recent placings in MIXMAG’s and DISORDER’s Singles Of The Year) which got great support from Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, John Kennedy Annie Mac, Eddy Temple Morris, James Hayman, Bob Harris, EMAP, MTV, and E4. This year is already hotting up with Goose in the Tips For 2007 in THE SUN and NOTION and sessions/interviews to run on XFM and E4.

Their new single ‘Low Mode’ (Skint 130/ Skint 130CD is out on 19th February on digital (through RecordStore and iTunes), CD and the next in their series of highly collectable 7″s featuring new tracks and mixes including one by hot Parisian, Surkin. It’s a harder, faster, louder version of a track on their imminent debut album. These releases will see Goose kicking New Rave up the arse with their punk-rocking dance sounds and wild gigs. ‘With guttural guitars and korg-infested riffs they’ll have your booty a-shaking quicker than you can say “blow your whistles”‘ (NOTION). Check out the new video that captures their full-on live set at Brighton’s Core Club in front of a sweaty rabid crowd.

Goose gigs are an experience. The buzzing synths, the happy dancing crowds, the breakdowns and all hands in the air waiting for the beat to come right in! And bam!! It’s all live, no clicktrack or samplers, but using breakdowns like a DJ does. Like punk-era Cabaret Voltaire beating up Daft Punk at an open-air rave. “With a front man that jiggles his hips like Bryan Ferry, every girl with half a mind will be drooling over these four winged lovelies” (NOTION). Dynamic singer Mickael really gets the crowd going. So frantic was the response at a recent gig the floor collapsed.
