Sleepy Age

This Christchurch band cites such bands as The Pixies, Radiohead and Mystery Jets as influences and think they sound like Miley Cyrus (or so they say on their MySpace - go figure?). But seriously, these guys have sweet yet melodramatic lyrics, soothed by catchy beats. The band features Josh Burgess (of Bang Bang Eche fame) on vocals/keys/guitar, Josh Black (of Neil Robinson) on bass and Julian Vares on drums. Check out their new single Décor: http://www.goldsounds.co.nz/ Their self titled EP is available on bandcamp: http://sleepyage.bandcamp.com.

The Pink Floyd Experience

The Internationally Acclaimed Rock Spectacular! THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE is exactly what it says, an experience. Everything about this concert, from the spectacular light show and crystal-clear sound to the soaring guitar solos, is inspired by a deep respect for the music of Pink Floyd. Both the musicianship and the attention to detail of this nine piece band are astonishing. Critics and audiences around the world have been unanimous in their praise for this extraordinary concert performance. Australia’s Adelaide Advertiser is a perfect example.

So So Modern

Hello! Nice to meet you. We are are a four-person collective interested creating a more fun and meaningful future through performance and music. By performance we mean the reciprocal acts of seeing and being seen, and by music we mean the ability to show solidarity around creative aural pleasure. Remember the campfire? Hope you do, cos thats what music means to us. A platform for sharing ideas, stories and gathering. But also a stage for challenges, dialog and what not.
