[Dizzy Storm]

wow Dizzy Storm has an upcoming show!!!

may be a while away but no harm in raising a bit of interest in Wellington's favourite dance-punk merchants who will be touring the Uk in sept.....and also releasing a 7" in August on Trangressive Records (The Shins, The Noisettes, Foals, The Young Knives, Battle, Ladyfuzz etc…)

this four piece band from New-Zeland have the imagination of Foals, the attitude of Devo, the complexity of Liars, the dancing IQ of Daft Punk and the insane energy of Polysics. With four keyboards on stage, vocoder, guitars, drums, they will rock your heart and moist your skin


“If you’re looking to attract Radar’s attention, you would do worse than take a tip from puzzle-pop New Zealanders So-So Modern. This means forming a band a bit like Futureheads playing Chic songs, at double-speed, with utterty nuzdoid bits (…) and performing them like B-boy cyber men. It also means I’ll play your best song ‘Fire fights’ hundreds of times a day.”
James Jam / The Buzz / NME

good band.

So So Modern
New Zealand's answer to ¡Forward Russia!, we blithely say. Four tunes in (thanks, MySpace), we're not particularly convinced we should alter that verdict. They’re possibly a bit more funky with their punk, and maybe chuck a few more beers down their neck than the Leeds quartet. But still, with songs called 'Upgrade Your Chassis (It's a Pythagorean Party)', what more can you ask for?
For fans of: ¡Forward Russia!, Foals, …Trail Of Dead
Drowned in Sound....
