Many people have emailed me lately and said

“Steve, I really want to own a horse, but don’t have the space for it in my London based tower block flat.  Can horses fly?”

The answer is no, horses cannot fly.

THIS FRIDAY!

Moving on, we’ve got a STONKER (meow) of a gig coming up Friday at the triple A battery Powers bar in Kilburn run by the super fantastic lake of ice cream No Fiction.  It’s free entry, has AWESOME DJs, two incredible bands known for great music and live shows (HEY, ONE OF THOSE IS US! WODYAKNOW!), and loads of drink offers a n d  t h e  l i k e c==3

Luminescence

Buy it from Amazon, iTunes, Indiestore, Amie Street and a bunch of others like Napster and Myspace Music and Rhapsody too.  Buy multiple copies then come see us live and buy some more.  I’ll sign anything that moves.  Make new friends, buy them the CDs.  Things you can use the CD for:

Playing music.

Yeah, you thought that was gonna be one of my awesome lists, but it wasn’t. Deal.

Video

I bought a video camera, yeah, big deal.  We’re gonna start filming stuff.  Music videos are lame, we have much better ideas than that, what we need now are crowns.  Anyway, we’ve got a Youtube channel at this place which also has a link to us playing our extended edit of Akira! at 93 Feet East.

Other Stuff

There’s a load of other new stuff in the pipeline, but figure rather than just blabbering on about it, we’ll get it all confirmed and fit for consumption first.  So be patient and keep checking www.neonhighwire.com.

Few gigs coming up, but can’t reveal details on all yet till they’re confirmed.  Probably playing in Brighton on March 19th though, which will be nice.

Team Neon is off to hit the dancefloors of Elephant and Castle tonight and we’re bloody excited! It may not be Miami, but there’s going to be more tunes than a doctor’s waiting room during a man flu outbreak! Coronet here we come! Keep an eye out for us getting down to Justice, Boys Noize, Bloody Beetroots…

Just found out our music’s going to be on Gregg & Burtt’s show on Amazing Radio this Sunday.   Listen between 10am-12.  Here’s the Amazing Radio page, here’s the direct link to stream the show.

Thanks to Tara O who played Neon Blink on her Best In British Music radio show last night.  You can listen to the broadcast by clicking here.

Neon Blink is the soundtrack for a video made by Channelmtb.com for their coverage of the Golden State downhill finals titled “Golden State Downhill – Mammoth Mountain” and can be found by clicking this link.

Leigh from Easy Music For Difficult Ears has given a review of our Luminescence EP which you can read in full here.

“Without wishing to be crass, retro geared electro is the popular mass-music theme at the moment and as such any band with an extra few quid seem to feel the need to get buzz-shit together. Unfortunately most of these band’s are shite – Neon Highwire… are not.”

“Overall, it is not bad effort by Neon Highwire and while it is hardly revolutionary stuff by any stretch of the imagine, it’s definitely worth a listen. Good stuff.”

FUCK! We’re their only pick for Saturday night in the Clubs section:

“The Playground. 93 Feet East, E1, Saturday
The usual Brick Lane electro-trash-disco party, showcasing new bands Totally Enormous Extinct Dinsoaurs, Citadels and Neon Highwire plus DJ sets and a spot of burlesque. Why not?”

Why not indeed. INDEED WHY NOT?! This is going to be bigger than Michelle McManus with 2000 buy one get one free McDonalds vouchers

In the words of Kathie Smart from Sherwood Radio (as found online here)…

“For any of you that may have missed last weeks show and for those of you who tuned in BIG THANKS! I played my top 40 Unsigned tracks of 2009 at the bottom of the email is the Top 40 tracklisting for you

It was probably the hardest show I have had to put together to date but definitely the most fun! I really do enjoy listening and playing all of your music and it was VERY tough to have to pick!

Congratulations to Neon Highwire who made the Number 1 spot with “Under Moonlight” My review of the track is below.

Thanks for making the Unsigned show one of the most popular shows on Sherwood Radio.

Last but not least MANY MANY MANY THANKS to all of you for your support and contributions to the Unsigned Show. All the very best and I hope 2010 is going to be a great year for Unsigned Music!

Under Moonlight is as infectious and if not better produced than any of the signed music in my collection to date. If I had this on Vinyl it would be scratched to death by now! Awesome! 10/10 JUST BUY IT!
