YesYou are the latest Australian act to wash over us and leave us breathless with bated exhales. The synthsational duo of Jono Kirkham and Gav Parry first breezed across our radar last June with debut single "Half of It" - still a jam one year on - but now they've returned with a new single featuring Marcus Azon of Jinja Safari, a band we've already featured in these pages and whose latest single "Toothless Grin" has been in steady rotation at Neon Gold HQ all summer long. "Frivolous Life" is a triumph for everyone involved, as Azon's sky-flying vocals take off into the night on the golden-tipped wings of YesYou's smoother-than-silk production. Together, they effortlessly surf the falsetto void, dancing a fine line between the shimmer and shake of Foster The People and the iridescent ooh-ooh's of Yeasayer. Carefree? Yes. Frivolous? Hardly.

POPSHOP BK 004: POP ETC + GOLDROOM
Hot on the heels of Popshop NYC, the first weekend in September also brings with it the next Popshop Brooklyn, as the sun and the moon and the stars align to bring us both of our signature New York club nights on the same weekend as our fourth birthday. And if you know us, birthdays and purpose-driven raging are a serious business. So this time around, we've got the magnificent genre-bending POP ETC and astrological sensations Gemini Club doing it large live, and LA's rapidly ascending DJ sensation Goldroom - fresh off a sold out Glasslands headline last week - taking us into the early hours on the ones and twos.
It's a double your pleasure, double your fun kind of weekend and it's only once in a baby blue moon that the calendar even makes this possible, so it's a very special one indeed. It's all going down September 8th at Brooklyn Bowl, with advance tickets available HERE. Trust us, you really don't want to miss this one.

POPSHOP019: FRED FALKE
Next month marks a magical occasion on which the stars align and not only do Popshop NYC and Popshop Brooklyn both fall on the same weekend, but said weekend also marks the four year anniversary of Neon Gold as we look to turn four years AWESOME in style. To celebrate this milestone, our flagship club night, Popshop NYC is going extra large with the LEGEND, Fred Falke, presiding as the maestro of ceremonies in the headline slot. Supporting him are our new go-to partystarters Ghost Beach, and as it's an anniversary show you better believe we'll have a few special guests in the mix. As usual it's all going down at Santos Party House, with doors at 9pm sharp and advance tix now available HERE. This is your formal invite to our birthday party, presence mandatory.
