SHOCKING PINKS (exBrunette New Zealand DFA) MP3/show

DOWNLOAD: Shocking Pink – I want You Back (MP3)

Shocking PinkNick Harte used to be the drummer in the Brunettes. Now the New Zealander’s side-project Shocking Pinks is not a side project, and now he’s signed by DFA

On September 25, the label(s) will release the self-titled Shocking Pinks, a compilation of remastered tunes from Shocking Pinks‘ two 2005 albums for NZ label Flying Nun, both of which were follow-ups to SP’s debut, Dance the Dance Electric.

Thus, the purpose of Shocking Pinks is to reintroduce Harte’s solo wanderings to the world, a project he and DFA/Astralwerks will continue with forthcoming remixes by artists like Deerhunter, the Glimmers, Arkitype, and Eluvium.

The MP3 above is sort of like a short little ode to Jesus & Mary Chain, but the tracks streaming on his MySpace are much more varied. Shocking Pinks will play his first-ever (and very last-minute) NYC show TONIGHT (Aug 15, 2007) @ 200 Orchard. His set time is 10pm.
