Recently the guys over at Pyongyang sessions asked me to do a mix and an interview, both a first for me. Mix contains a few unreleased Neko Neko tunes along side some favorites and up and coming Manchester beats.
Neko Neko’s debut 7″ vinyl release on my first moth records is now available in digital download format. The digital download release includes an extra track ‘Rocky boat’.
Track listing
1.Pesticide
2.Plus & minus
3.Rocky boat
The digital downloads are available from all major download stores in mp3, flac and wav’s.The price varies but is about £2.50 for all three tracks.
Big thanks goes out to Agent J from Groovement radio show on Unity radio Manchester for playing a new Neko Neko tune, Cold, on Sundays show. The show featured loads of good music (as usual) and had Andrea Trout doing a guest mix. If you havn’t already checked out Groovement then do so, it’s dope. It’s on every sunday afternoon on Unity radio and streamed online, then available as a podcast.

Well recently i’ve been working on new music form which one track has been put on the very good Northen comfort blog. The new tune is called True love.
So as you all probably know about Mind on Fire’s new website by now seeing as i’ve been banging on about it. You might or might not know about my profile there and the free downloads of Knotts and Pesticide. Well now you do.
I was also featured on the CD that was given out that night too, so if you’ve got a copy check it out as theres plenty of good Manchester artists on it too.
I’m still looking for gigs up and down the country so if anybody wants me to play, give me a shout.
Thanks to everyone who came to the last gig at mind on fire. Was a great gig and i had loads of fun. I will be posting some pictures up soon and possibly some video too.
Hello everyone and a depleted happy New Year from Neko Neko, just a little news update to prove i’ve not fallen off the edge of the world. I’ve been very busy over the last few months moving home and studio, recording and working on the live performance.
I now live in Leeds 8 months out of a year as i am studing there. It’s a really nice city but i do miss Manchester. The move put a hold on recording for “My favourite sound is orange” but i’m back on track now and making good progress. Most of the writing has been done and the songs demo’ed so keep your eyes peeled for an early version in the jukebox on my website. I also started work on a new batch of songs i think could be an EP so watch out for that too and a remix album is in the works.
More and more work is being focused on the live show as well. Due to the complex nature of Neko Neko’s music it isn’t a simple plug your guitar in and off you go job as i want to get the sound and flow of the show to reflect an album. I can’t wait to get playing live!
The website has had a big update. I’ve added a forum where you can discuss the music, gigs (in the near furture) and artwork. There will be exclusive live set recordings posted here for members only. You can submit your own photos and artwork for Neko Neko and vote for your favourite logo, or submit your own. I have added some new photos of recording sessions for “My favourite sound is orange” and photos of a practise session for the live set. So here’s to 2008, a very busy but productive year for Neko Neko, Cheers.
Neko Neko’s Orange side of the moon is a remix album of Pink Floyd’s classic album Dark side of the moon. Done for fun and out of respect for the original. Downloads are available for free in .wavs and mp3's
