13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Na Noise – Dance With Me
Alrighty, let’s get this Friday underway with a new song and video from Na Noise!
The song is Dance With Me and its on side of a 7′ being released today. Here’s the story via the omnipresent, all-knowing record company blurb:
Tāmaki Makaurau’s Na Noise have released their 7” — ‘Open The Door b/w Dance With Me’ both physically and digitally.
The duo-come-trio managed to snag the top spot of over 350 entries in the Holiday Records 7” competition, and this release is the first 7” vinyl record pressed in New Zealand since 1987, many thanks to the judges Charlotte Ryan, Jonny Vahry, Big Hungry, Rodney Fisher and Mike Chunn.
The band had the opportunity to record their submitted songs at legendary Roundhead Studios, with engineer Steven Marr. Honorary fourth band member, Peter Ruddell, came along to help produce the songs and the results are incredible. The tracks were mastered by Mike Gibson of Munki Studios, and pressed to vinyl by New Zealand’s very own Joel Woods and Ben Wallace at Holiday Records.
Na Noise are the Thelma and Louise of modern DIY guitar based music. The long-time collaborators Hariet Ellis and Yolanda Fagan (both having worked together on BOZO, Vincent H.L, Echo Ohs and Thee Crockettes) have a rascally take on traditional song — with their new-old songs, the band introduce a new-old sound. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Christopher Varnham who provides organ, drums and various other percussive elements, the three have cultivated a dark sound that is more carnivalesque than it is psychedelic.
Catch Na Noise Live at their 7” release party at Whammy Bar on the 26th of September, with friends LEAO, dynamic DJ duo Matthew Crawley and Tina Turntables. Seated show, so limited tickets are available — get in early to secure your spot!
