Modular People

Modular is over the moon to bring in a new era of mental exploration and swinging, free-jamming delight with their freshest signing - Tame Impala.

Tame Impala are Kevin Parker (guitar and vocals), Dominic Simper (bass guitar) & Jay Watson (drums and vocals) the Perth-based 3 piece hypno-groove wet dream who deliver music that makes other bands look like a bad acid flashback, think Cream meets Can on an ether-tinged desert ride with Dr. Gonzo. With fuzzed guitars, tumbling drums and howling vocals a plenty, the band evokes dreamy images of a place where music belongs to all five senses and rhythm aligns with the pulse of the space-time continuum.

We are now able to announce that the first official single from Ladyhawke will be "Paris Is Burning", a pure pop jam that resonates with charming disco urgency. It's party-starting handclaps, harmonic vox, and pulsating bass all lead to a synthtastic bodily rush that'll have you moving like a boneless chicken. It's due to be at media (that's marketing lingo for radio and idiot boxes) at the end of the month. It will have its official release in late august, accompanied with a remixes by Cut Copy, Chicken Lips, Peaches, Alex Gopher and more. Her debut album will drop in September, more details to follow in the coming weeks.

Also, Pip has started doing regular video diaries which is being debuted by inthemix, on her MySpace and on our YouTube, the first of which is up now.

Pip has been touring all over the shop with people like Peaches, Soulwax and 2 Many DJs, as well as playing our very own Modular parties. She's started blogging over at her MySpace, but we've cut and pasted the first entry below, check back there regularly for updates.
