Mahogany Minute – Funeral Party
We grew up…in Whittier, California.
It all started when…James: My dad beat me, no I am just kidding. Chad: When the sperm met the egg. James: I went to school with Chad the singer and we had a science class together, then I moved away for a little while. During that period of time I realized I really wanted to start a band so I came back. We met at a park one night, usually at a place to hangout you know go drink and stuff, try not to get caught by the cops. I asked Chad to start a band and all the rest is history.
If we’re not recording or playing music you’ll find us…C: Having a beer. J: Yeah, having a beer.
We can’t perform unless we have…J: Beer.
One country we’re dying to play live in is…J: Germany, Because I’ve always wanted to visit Hamburg, I’ve heard that’s an amazing city. Plus Rammstien, fuck, I mean that’s one of the best craziest bands ever. C: Czechoslovakia.
Our three dream festival headliners would be…C: The Velvet Ground. J: David Bowie, The Beatles C: Lets throw someone else in there. A poetry reading by Edgar Allen Poe. J: And a dance off between Michael Jackson and Prince.
You’ll recognise us by our…J: Charming good looks and our moustaches.
We wish we hadn’t…J: Stayed at the Columbian Hotel. C: Yeah, wish we hadn’t stayed at the Columbian hotel. J: The elevators gave way the other night. Their internet fell through the other day. C: We had to put in a twenty dollar deposit to get an iron. J: The floors in the bathroom are disgusting it’s fucking crazy dude. It’s seen better days, let’s just say that.
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt it’s…C: Nothing.
Give us 30 minutes and we’ll cook a great…J: Beans and Sauce? C: No, we can do better then that. I can make a steak. I can make a wicked Spaghetti J: Spaghetti steak C: Spaghetti and steak.
Buy us a drink and we’ll…C: Keep asking for more. James: Yeah.
We’re not really into Metal but we do like Dio.
Our next/latest release is…NYC Moves To The Sound Of LA.

Funeral Party -- NYC Moves To The Sound Of LA
WE LV TS RX
Missed Everything Everything at Glasto this year but fortunately we just received an absolutely brilliant new remix by Clock Opera aka Guy Connelly.
Whilst the original is fantastic, this version has a slightly more stable rhythm and adds an electro punch that’s just what the doctor ordered.
Everything’s debut album is out on 30th August titled Man Alive. The first 100 people to pre-order the album get a signed copy so if you fancy it, get in there quick via this link.

RIP Macbook Pro
I didn’t think it was possible but my most prized possession has died on me.
As a result, there aren’t some of the vital blogging tools needed to put up songs to download however the good news is the repair shop will have it back to me by the end of the week.
For now, we’re going to stick to great videos and other songs that we’ve uploaded but not published.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
New tune from TEED has a real nice sound about it.
Featuring guest vocals from Luisa of Lulu and the Lampshades and some arcade-esque sounds, it’s turning into a bit of an underground summer anthem for many a boy and girl everywhere.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs -- Garden
Smooth Cover
It’s just over a year since Michael Jackson passed away and Brooklyn-based producer J.Viewz and his group of incredibly talented friends decided to pay tribute with a very fitting (and jazzy) version of Smooth Criminal.
Last time we featured J.Viewz it was for his brilliant version of Nina Simone’s Seeline Woman -- check it here.
