We're just a pair of funkadelic old coots exploding out of the 80s trailing soundclips and midi. We make lo-fi mid-tempo high-energy electronic pop music.
LATEST RELEASE - REMIX ALBUM:
The Tom Bosley Experience are proud to announce the launch of their new album, Remix Picnic.
Our sound has always held a curious niche within Kiwi electronica. Tracks have ranged from the poppy-joyous through jazz improv to darkside with a self-loathing edge. On the way we’ve met and mingled with similarly minded musicians and gained a few friends on the way.
It’s here that you can hear the outcome of those friendships in the form of remix tracks by a number of the artists we’ve come to know.
Included are the destructive noise of Sick Cycle, Romantech’s trademark intelligent DnB, the electro-punk stylings of rising star SoNic Smith, kitchen-sink downbeat from Sharkweek, lush electronica from Stray Theories, the glitchy melancholia of Hummel, and the glacial dub experiments of Thalidomide Dog.

PREVIOUS RELEASE - SECOND STUDIO ALBUM:
The Tom Bosley Experience proudly announce their second album, "Who's Your Daddy".
Named to celebrate the fatherhood of band member Peter Lewis and TTBE's love of the cheesy side of life, the album is a reflection of the growth of this ethic as well as a exploration of their sound in more mature metaphors.
The fun is always there: Tracks such as "Cheese-O-Riffic", "My Ignorance of Dairy" and "Studfinger" reflect their manic approach to synthpop, and are guaranteed to get fingers clicking and laughter bubbling.
Also TTBE have followed up on their dark side, bringing 80s darkwave electro back with driving black hits such as "Too Late for Prozac" and "Self Examination Circus".
For those late evening, hazy, contemplative moods TTBE have produced some more of their fine work in the ambient genre: from the mystical "When the Running is Done" to the haunting middle section of "You Believe Me, Don't You" (which includes samples from underground New Zealand movie Belief) and "Welcome to My Ultraworld", in which we seem to move through slow, still waters of feeling and experience.

Wellington writer Jacqueline Brasfield says: "Imagine the technicolour landscape of the dream world - a place where the sweetest smiles mask sinister intentions and madness is just beyond the next rolling hill.
"Who's Your Daddy" offers a surreal soundtrack fitting the complexity of inner-space with musical themes both silly and sublime. "My Ignorance of Dairy" features an elegantly cheerful melody snaking seamlessly over sultry vocals, bump and grind beats and the rhythmic hand clap of an unseen voyeur. "Too Late for Prozac" takes an introspective turn in the manner of 80s dark wave and "When the Running Is Done" is as dreamy as the perfect summer twilight of our collective childhoods.
It's as evocative as it is eclectic, a dazzling collage woven of layered keys, syncopated beats and deftly chosen samples. This is the stuff that dreams are made of, sometimes innocent, sometimes devious - and always more vibrant than our mundane waking world.

Here's a little video for our song "Cheese-O-Riffic". It's obviously homemade, but on the other hand who can resist the allure of kittens fighting in slow motion?
Our second 'Corrosive Noise' NZ Tour is coming up in July 2009. This time we are joined by dunedin dj crew 'Urban Terror Unit', who ripped up Phat 09's pre party last new years. We will be playing lots of new material from our forthcoming album 'Awakening' on NZ's own Bassweight Recordings. Come check it out!
Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions".
The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub.
Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness.
