    We played 8static 5 in Philadelphia and we have some pictures and a live recording to share. It was a lot of fun and we thank Don a.k.a NO CARRIER for inviting us!

    The song is called “Las Abejas” and it’s new. Soon we’ll release that song, along with other new ones, on an MP3-EP with 8bitpeoples. Stream/download: http://bit.ly/7wQs

    Here a couple of links to pictures from that night: FLICKR 1, FLICKR 2

    So we got another round of the “duo shows”. This time we’ll be playing at Lit Lounge in NYC (March 21) and 8static in Philadelphia (April 11) with our friend minusbaby. We are very excited as we have never been to Philly before. And as usual we’ll be playing new music. Here are the fliers for the shows:

    Happy new year! Balún is back for a special 8-bit show as a duo!

    Pulsewave January 2009

    Welcome to the new year; a new year of colors changing from white to yellow to green to blue to red to white again. While the animals sleep and sleep and sleep in their caves, and people try and try and try to stay warm in the cities, the Centennial Boy wanders about and about and about.

    This January 31st 2009, join us in celebrating the Centennial Boy’s 100th birthday at Pulsewave at The Tank. Music will be provided by 6955, Balún, Low-Gain and OxygenStar with visuals by Jean Y. Kim, minusbaby, outpt, and Paris Treantafeles.

    You have been most cordially invited, so please, drink to stay warm and feel free to dance and dance and dance!

    December 28th, 2008adminCompilations, Downloads, News, Remix

    Happy holidays!

    We have our song “Minumina” in the newest MP3-compilation by the Mexican label At At Records. This album includes other shoegazer/electronic bands from Spain and Latin America such as Fax, Silvania, Resplandor, and Antiguo Automata Mexicano. This production is dedicated to Cocó Cielo, member of shoegazer/ambient band Silvania and electro-pop band Cielo, who died tragically in Spain a few months ago.

    The compilation can be downloaded for free here: http://www.atat-records.com/mem

    And also, a few months ago we did a remix for Miou Miou, an indie pop band from the Czech Republic and the album is out! Other remixers include B. Fleischmann (Morr Music), Sawako (12k), Lullatone (Plop), and Montag (Carpark). For now the CD/MP3 can be bought at Sinko Digital but in a few months it will be available on iTunes and in Japan under the Rallye Label. Check out our remix in our Myspace player!
