The Chalets/ Neosupervital - Split

The Chalets. This is pop - reckless, libidinous, and impertinent. It all began in a clamour of booze and hormones. Two girls, two boys, and a drummer (as the joke goes), inspired by a weekend of hedonism at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival. Learning instruments, writing songs and other such trivialities would be ironed out later. Somewhere along the line The Chalets joined the ranks of Ireland's much-loved indie institution, the Road Relish Singles Club, for a split seven-inch featuring the self-explanatory 'Two Chord Song' with synthesiser-pop freak Neosupervital. The Chalets have delivered their latest and nastiest recording yet, 'The Nightrock EP.' Herein lies the adrenalin-frenzied riff-romp of 'Nightrock', the adolescent swoon-swollen indie-pop romance of 'Kiss Chasing', the downright vicious electro-pop cum swamp-stomp of 'Love Punch', and the sweetly sung and almost epic closer of 'David Boring.' The 'Nightrock EP' even broke the notoriously dire Irish Singles Chart, and to top it all off The Chalets just scooped the Best New Band award at The Irish Meteor Awards. A great victory for evil over crap…Neosupervital Ireland's answer to Hot Chip or LCD Soundsystem, Neosupervital, are back with their brilliant self titled LP. Imagine The Beach Boys having a jam with the Human League, with Kraftwerk on the decks and Ben Folds making the cocktails. Fun, smart, danceable and fresh. It doesn't get much better. Having been playlisted on MTV2 since last year, Neosupervital brought their legendary live show around the UK and Europe as guests of the Human League in December 06. They've also opened for the likes of Money Mark, Divine Comedy and Tom Vek. Neosupervital's music has also been picked up by influential Los Angeles radio station Indie 103.1fm. 2007 sees them playing high profile club shows, touring and releasing a new single, Now That I've Found It, with video and remixes in April.
