Fauxhound @ Snakefest

So Snakepit gallery is closing :c. Last Friday they threw the best party ever entitled 'snakefest' and it was so much fun! Here's a video from the start of the Fauxhound set, there are more video's coming in! This song is the remix of the Rubijaq's DSTRYRYTHM. Also featured are the lyrics for 'love+secrets'.

Many thanks to Sam and Rosie Thomas, for running Snakepit and organising this festival!

Maya Turei made this video and it's awesome,

This is not a Game, Boy

So I did this release via The Waveform Generator it's 11 tracks of chip-esque songs made on a tracker called Little Piggy. It has some vocal interludes and stuff and you should listen to it!
Later I'm planning on making some compact discs so you can touch it, I guess!

Special thanks to; Andrew Kilpatrick, Hana Aoake, Piupiu-Maya Turei and Georgia Glass

plus Little Scale for publishing a Sega Megadrive sample bank.

$noregazZzm Fauxhound remix

it's like brk brk brk and rules, it's an old song of the first ep you should listen and if you're from #GBA you should post it on there.... Alex/Tom/Sebastian/Chris/Sean

So I've been busy recording new songs for the up and coming fauxhound album, Lisandru ($noregazZzm) is doing a remix for it too. Anyhow I'm enjoying using lgpt it's a great tracker imo.
Here are some words you may find on the record!


my past has been a crawl in the undergrowth
my memories are damp growing with moss yet covered in life
and insects as beautiful as they are seem too close for comfort
small birds speak to me from high above
saying "it's awful pretty here amongst the clouds
it sure is a drag dragging feet in the dirt"
i shake my fist saying "this is were i belong"
stop taunting me with lies of life up above
but come matariki, come my seven sisters
lift me from the ground in my shame
you say i had to be there to understand
the simple beauty known as your name
and now I can walk hand in hand with my love
as she sings me to sleep
softly saying "you never tasted life this sweet
you never tasted life this sweet"

come matariki come my seven sisters
no one has seen light quite like this
no one has seen light quite like this

finally a post about chiptune

So tomorrow I'm playing a show in Dunedin, the poster is pictured above.

It's gonna be rad, like really awesome! Also I'm working on an a new release so here is a track from it, probably not the final mix but it's a taste. The song is called 'Boy Et Al' and the release is going to be called 'This is not a Game, Boy!' It's all written on LGPT and will feature b-side(s) which will be songs from my Gameboy. 

Yeah that's all. 

Disasteradio + WAOTS + Dunedin

So far June has been pretty awesome! Maya came to visit for a week and we had loads of fun, it sucks she's gone back to Dunedin but I'll be down there in July so it's not too long of a wait!

Also went with Lisandru, Owen, Lucy, and John to play a show in Wellington which was fun. Lisandru {$noregazZzm} played the best set I have ever seen from him it was actually so good!! Was really cool to catch up Chris {Old Grey Wolf} he plays with a bass guitar now and it sounds really rad, similar vain to Teen Fortress vibes!! We drove back to Auckland with Max {WAOTS} and Luke {Disasteradio} it was such a fun return journey and i brought a new phone on Tokoroa because I left my charger in Wellington :c. The next day we were very busy setting up the rave in the snakepit basement and the show was so awesome, so many lights and smoke and awesome visuals! I was very pleased with how my set went.

So coming up; I'm playing a seapunk house party this Saturday, my friends have finally occupied every single living space in this small apartment building so it's gonna be a pretty huge party i'm pretty excited about it! Also in July I'm going to play some shows in Dunedin with Lisandru which are going to be sick. The poster for the refuel show is above, i ripped it from the farcebook event page so the quality is lacking.

I'm on a really sweet buzz atm, and am super excited to see Maya again!

Christchurch in May

Fauxhound, Papaiti Records Bootleggings

So James Stuteley recorded the Fauxhound Tunnel set in Tauranga, he then kindly uploaded it on the Papaiti Records, Bootlegs website. Mean. It was a pretty fun show (see blogpost). Click the picture for free download it's 22mb.

Fauxhound at the Jizz Festival

So I played in Tauranga last Sunday in the 'Tauranga Music Sux Tunnel' it was a pretty sweet place to play. I was only disappointed that no trains went over the tunnel whilst I played, Ralph got two! It was really hot and I played the entire set on my knees. Here is a video of a new song I've been working on, it has no vocals. Also the crowd were very enthused... I actually got really good feedback (mostly from older people), one guy, Shane, said I reminded him of early Headless Chickens, wurd up!

This is Ralph +++ a train, Ralph are really awesome and Ary and Jess are super rad. I really hope I can play more shows with them in the future

mighty mighty

playing this sweet show after camp, it's gonna be 'off the chain'

Sweet Sweet Sweat

So here my latest 4bit gem as Fauxhound, it even has a tiny sprinkling of Rubijaq in it!!! I haven't put in vocals yet but I got some words in my pocket that have a little punch, whatever.

fauxhound/ax hndl split ep.... coming soon

I'm gonna release a split ep {as fauxhound} with Rory Macmurdo {as Ax Hndl}, it's gonna be good, I have three new songs that are in transit for mixing.

futurnari/fauxhound

So Dove and I made a song once, when I was in chch for this^ {never played the show as well but I don't seem to have the updated poster}, and we released it on the NZ chip compilation {which is here}. I put it on audio archive so you could stream it.... 'cause you're probably too lazy to dl the entire comp.

and you can download it off the compilation here, or find it on archive but you should get the whole compilation because it's super rad.

Everything I love leaves me

Noir (got my dmg stolen) by fauxhound

So my Gameboy + LSDJ cartridge got stolen from Poor/Lonely last weekend, all my song data is gone forever. I've been using an emulator, Gambatte, on my computer, I wrote this wee track, will most definitely add some vocals to it later on. I posted it onto 8bit collective and it's been getting a little bit of hate which has kinda turned into a joke- link. Have a listen, any feedback is much appreciated!

slowbro

A, public, demo for Dove and Ivan (although I doubt Ivan will read this so I'll probably just email him). [edit 2/12/2011] I sped this song up and it sounds way sweeter, 80bpm>30bpm. If you're coming to poor/lonely tonight I'll be playing this first.
Slowbro by fauxhound

So hear are the lyrics for Kittens.V1.01 .... in case you wanted to know

All my sisters are blue eyed and blonde

They got rings man, they got rings

But I never got mine

Guess I got left behind at every other church camp I failed to attend

To be honest those girls never held my attention

Those girls never held my attention for long

'Cause I got a brain

I got a brain abrasion

I guess you could say I'm retarded

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen

I don't really know how I got to this place

My memory doesn't serve me so well anymore

Some days I think I'm still comatosed

Living in this sub-par faux reality

Don't say you, never ever wanted too

he lives forever so that we may sing - now available to stream

now you can stream and share.

Fauxhound pxl-bot release
