New Artist: Cavaliers of Fun
The songs below are in a definite time warp – we’re just not sure where from but according to “The Cavalier of Fun” (Ricco Vitali) himself, their destination is 1980.
“Imagine a one man space odyssey to discover new worlds, new beats, new sounds… Cruising through galaxies of retro synths spinning out huge solos, arpeggios running wild through the space prairies and beats the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. COF is piloting a solo space pod to travel back to the 80s on Planet Earth. But in his own private galaxy it’s already year 2112…” – Cavaliers of Fun
Vitali’s talent for production is instantly recognizable in the ebullience he brings musics most energetic genre, maybe he truly is “The” cavalier of fun. His solo act has been rocking future disco’s around the UK since late summer (’09) but time travel hasn’t come out yet so if you’re stateside you probably haven’t heard these next five songs.
Downloads after the break!
Enjoy!

Hey Champ should have been the headliner! NPSH was shit. I think that they should have switched places.

Hmm… Let’s see… one of the people who were stoked to see NPSH was a former Universal Motown exec now working for an Outside Lands headliner, and you… started a blog. Maybe someone who has signed bands in the past has a tad more taste than yourself. Good luck with all this, you pompous moron.

Gotta love hate mail – especially when it is written so meaninglessly that the commentor, “You’re A. Idiot” fails to make a single point. NPSH was bad whether you have deep pockets or not. Feel free to explain what exactly was so worth my time about listening to NPSH and I’ll send you a cookie. They clearly have talent and creativity but their performance wasn’t inspirational, wasn’t original, and wasn’t entertaining. It felt like a talent show piece at a High School Assembly.
I don’t really know what you mean by “and you… started a blog.” Is that supposed to be demeaning or something, if so – FAIL. Yeah, I write a blog and you felt inclined to comment on it so clearly it is serving more of a purpose than one of the 10,000 former Universal Motown execs. Anyone who starts a comment by listing off their “qualifications” is a narcissistic douche rocket, and you know what NDRs get? A big fucking – Child, Please!

Apparently I’m not the only one down on NPSH. From “The Worst of Bumbershoot” at TinyMixtapes.com comes this review:
“- Natalie Portman’s Shave Head Speaking of irony, I get it — spandex, hypercolor and bicycle shorts are back in a big way for rave-pop. Sadly, Seattle already has one terrible ’80s synth dance knock-off (the dreadful U.S.E), and while NPSH may house a slightly larger contingent thanks to a modicum of indie blog success, their show was steeped in sluggish attitudes — from both band and crowd — and a sense of irony so overflowing the Bumbershoot wanderers were more likely to be drenched from it than from the downpours that plagued Seattle Center intermittently all weekend.”
