Cassette Kids

The Cassette Kids have opened for all the big Australian acts including SBA Favorites; The Presets. They have also toured with Lily Allen and New Young Pony Club the past few years. I totally believe this female lead electronic / rock outfit will be head lining acts soon enough. I haven't picked up the new album, Nothing on TV but their 2009 EP titled Spin has unbelievable catchy hooks that sets this group for invasion of American Top 40...

The Presets Surprise

Last week I found a interesting mixtape by Kim Moyes, 1/2 of The Presets, on one of my favorite blogs - Stoneyroads. The note that went along with it said that Kim was recording the 64 minute mixtape for modsquads modcast while in the studio working on the new album. This was a surprise because I didn't even know that they were recording or that Kim (plays drums and keyboard) was a DJ. Usually if the musician is talented they have a good taste in music but where it is iffy is that they may or may not be able to spin. I downloaded with optimism.

I didn't know what to expect but I have been more than pleased with the Mixtape. For a guy that plays drums and keyboards for a living he sure has a hell of a talent mixing tracks. Some of the stuff that put on here is like nothing I have
heard before and its amazing. Very cool instrumental builds and vocal
centered electronica weave back and forth for over an hour. If you are a fan of the presets and like music in that genera, this is a must have. Go check out Stoneyroads and download the mixtape here
