Bar Matchless Show in Brooklyn

Thanks to everyone that came by on Saturday night to Bar Matchless, and thanks for the great staff at the venue too, along with Cru & Soda, Band Antenna and At Sea. Set list was as follows:

Supercooler / Redesign / Photographs / Effectual / MI6 / The Thrill / Game Of Stones / Bad Fridays / Bullet Time / The Things We Do

See you in a few weeks as we get a couple of other dates fully confirmed… and get back to updating this site a bit more.

Bullet Time – Music Video from Stereo Off

Here is our first music video – Bullet Time, off of our first EP “Stereo Off New York EP5, aka, SONY EP5”.

Let us know what you think and thanks for all the likes and comments already. Cheers to http://www.deadredeyes.com for the making of and directing and thanks to all the people that helped out, acted in, let us use apartments, bars, etc.

The video is a bit of an homage to retro NYC circa the 70’s and 80’s perhaps, or at least that’s the vibe we were going for. In true low-budget indie spirits we were involved from creating the plot and story line, all the way down to going through all the takes and amends (in fact, our bassist even did the video editing on this) to final cuts, which is frankly as DIY as it gets.

Stereo Off at Bar Matchless, Brooklyn

Sebastian Acting in Short Film by Dead Red Eyes

While we wait for the music video to come out after the Memorial Day weekend. Here’s Sebastian in a short film called “The Goon and The Dangler” from Dead Red Eyes.  The film itself was for a contest where teams had to meet certain criteria in under 3 minutes.

Find out more about how that worked at www.deadredeyes.com – but in the meantime check the short film out:

It features Stereo Off soundtracks in the background.

 

 

Weekend Update: Photos Ready, Video Edits, Reviews & Mentions

Its been a busy couple weeks for the band, we’ve finalised our photos and a couple of them are now on the site. We can also provide a full EPK on request. Here’s one for now.

And of course more to come on the FB page. In the meantime, the music video is ready!!!! – much thanks to everyone that helped us the past two weeks, everyone that stood in even when they had no idea what the scene would be about and just let someone say “ok, put on this make up”. Now all that needs to be done is some final editing and mixing and we’ll have it live soon.

In the meantime, here’s some more press, reviews and mentions about the band:

“SYFFAL” (Shut Your Fuckin Face And Listen) – http://www.syffal.com/stereo-off-seren-myamoto
Joel “says STOP SLEEPING on Stereo Off”, thanks for the props and putting us top of that list!

“Who To Listen To” uses some of the press kit to put us as a featured artist at http://whotolistento.com/stereooff/

Names of the sites seem to drop a hint overall….. thanks everyone, more to come soon.

Down By The River – Music Video Shoots, Reviews & More

Busy weekend for the band as we start finalizing the photo shoot takes from the previous weekend, in the meantime moving on to the music video shoots. The picture above is a hint. Its old school. Its black and white.

So the weekend update had to wait a couple days as we were out and about, but another week, and some more coverage. Newswhistle put together an awesome piece and interview with the band at A Great White With A Blindfold: What Unsigned Brooklyn Band Is Sharpening Its Teeth. Citing a mix of 80’s bands and recent NYC bands of much hype. Quote: “this band is moving fast towards golden indie shores”. Nice one. You can also find 3 of the Non-EP tracks on that article too.

And then moving back to the EP itself, a bonus review this week that nearly flew under my radar, from the Equal Ground.

“the most eclectic electronic sounds with the most down to earth rock tones and crashes them together to create an enthralling experience” & “This is cool! Seriously cool!”. Thanks to both sites for the coverage, reviews and interviews.

So not a bad weekend after all. Still plenty of work to do on the video though…. couple more sessions in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Weekend Updates – Beside The Photo Shoot

Hey Everyone, just wanted to drop the usual updates. We had a great photo shoot on the weekend, looking forward to getting some high quality band photos in order to get the word out. Much thanks to Deneka Peniston and Brian Morris Gallery.

As for other updates, we have a triple header this weekend.

Awesome write up from The General at http://thegeneralmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/stereo-off-ny-ep5.html, tagged “fucking excellent” and mentioned Photographs as “a fantastic indie-pop slice of heaven” and Bullet Time as “the sort of track that really benefits from being blasted loudly and with the bass turned up“. Nice one! Just read the blog, because the general is always right.

Cheers also for the quick round up and a mention of the EP on Shout It Loud Reviews – which can be seen at http://www.shoutitloudreviews.com/index.php/music-news/item/334-stereo-off-stereo-off-ny-ep5-ep-review

And to cap off the weekend. If you are in the UK, listen on Monday 7pm – 8pm for Stereo Off on Temporary Noise Radio at http://myradiostream.com/temporarynoiseradio

More to come soon, thanks.

Rock Music Pick From Zambah Music App Site

Slightly belated update as the weekend was busier than expected, but still keeping the weekly update streak semi alive.

Check out Stereo Off’s review at http://blog.zambah.com/rock-music-pick-stereo-off-stereo-off-new-york-ep-5-songs/ – and if in a band, Zambah is a music app that aims to connect independent artists with bands. Not sure how it works yet, but we’ll give their beta a shot.

Glad the team and Zambah enjoyed the EP. Loving this quote in particular (regarding the “effectual” song):
“If you’re not dancing when this song come on then something is clearly wrong with you.”

Thanks for the review! Good way to start the spring, and hey the snow is finally gone. Time to shoot a video then.
