Sounds Like"Even without the cowboy metaphors, Nevada's Greatest! is an endlessly fascinating blend of pop influences, unpredictable and unexpected, yet somehow familiar at the same time."
- ReGen Magazine

"It also needs to be said that nearly every song on this album is a radio hit waiting to happen. There isn't a song that isn't incredibly catchy and unique in its own way. The lyrics and thought structures are all inventive as well as the overall atmosphere..."
- Heathen Harvest

"Talented and complicated textures are painted over with a second and third coat of sonic paint that produces a thick layer of synths, guitars, vocals, and beats. Lyrically it’s serious as it tackles prolific topics in the political and social arenas yet also explores robotic cowboys."
- Smother Magazine

"Many of the songs are evocative of "futuristic music" from the early 1980s, like Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, and Afrika Bambataa--yet they're still very fresh and the production is exquisitely modern. I can't recommend them highly enough."
- The Spacing Guild Guide to Good Music

"The music is fantastic, an eclectic mix somewhere between electro-pop and an Ennio Morricone score..."

OUT NOW !!

HUPSYDOWN
- 4X4 Lovers Kiosk 14 - 2009design by atonfly@gmail.com

On this EP, Hupsydown show his different sounds, "4X4 Lovers" very tekno dancefloor style, "Born To Be Bass" half Dubstep and half 4X4 Garage Bassline, out on "Force Coming" CD compilation under the name "Musicale Bubble" with MC Lox, very strong and mythic, and the last track, "Clark Gabble", is the dark Dubstep side of Hupsydown aka Pushy! who takes some noises and influences from all the raves since the end of eighties.

Hello Chaps!

Yes! That commutiny show was absolutely spiffing! I remember simulating Anal sex with someone dressed as a clown! Brilliant! I would love to come by the trash bar but am in the UK the moment...but am retuning to the Mighty New York early March for a couple of months so we should do a few shows together again man! That would be awesome.

Have a listen to my DIY record label / Broken Arm of Love BBC RADIO INTERVIEW - i TALK ABOUT That show and how awesome it was here:

Maybe The Qualia could submit a track on the next ArtScare CD?

Catch you in May!
