Royal Falcon are an Auckland-based five piece band, making music akin to a murderous spree. Their raucous psychedelic country songwriting merges dark narrative and creeping dynamics with an explosive guitar assault to create something quite intense.
Sometimes they can be found taking their music to the street, busking for small change to gracious passersby. The point is not to get rich, rather the ever-industrious band reinvest their takings in beer to stimulate more songwriting sessions.

Last of the Sun
Together, White Swan Black Swan are Sonya Waters and Ben Howe formerly of Fang , Ricky McShane from The Chainsaw Masocist and Ben Furniss from Surrealistic. White Swan is the songs of Sonya Waters and Black Swan are the songs of Ben Howe.
White Swan Black Swan make their music in a brick house on the edge of a sleeping volcano. Their house is furnished with out-of-date Super 8 movie projectors, old amplifiers, 70′s lamps, faded paintings of imagined places, all keepsakes from a past era embellishing the musical landscape. Their brick bungalow is a rural green oasis – hidden away for the city that surrounds it.
White Swan Black Swan have released two EPs and a ‘double mini album’ – which came out in August 2008.
Filmed by White Swan Black Swan in Tepotzlan in Mexico

more about "Till The Dance Is Over Video by The C…", posted with vodpod
Inciting a fusion of twisting surf guitar, crazy drums and rolling dirty bass playing with simple melodic vocal lines and a healthy dose of reverbed overdive, the music is always intresting and alive.
