Everything about the conception of ‘Seven Mountains’ screams fresh start. On ‘Seven Mountains’, the band is sending out its usual positive vibes despite singing about its ups and downs. “There is always a way, if you believe in life, in the positive, and in togetherness.” This is an attitude they soaked up from their parents while the whole family lived in Australia. 77 Bombay Street has found itself and is now a band of four individualists, something that is not just audible but also visible. In “Seven Mountains” the foursome sculpt an amazing synergy together creating a raw and edgy sound. Powerful vocals and seamless harmonies swoop in giving a fresh twist whilst setting the bar high for their upcoming EP.

Bear At The Bus Stop

The band broke up on January 29th 2016. Here's the old biography:

Surrealist geek electro upstarts Neon Highwire are the party destroying sensation that have been named as ones to watch with good reason.  They’ve been championed by Tom Robinson of BBC 6Music, had track named track of the year by Sherwood Radio before it was even released and have gained a reputation for their devastating live shows countrywide which have included performances with Pete & The Pirates, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs & Dragonette to name a few.

The band’s 2009 début EP Luminescence (mastered at The Exchange), described by Rock Sound magazine as “cutting their angular-chops in all the right places, and it shows” was a shining culmination of these various elements. It includes the single Neon Blink, subsequently released on Blue Dove Records with a number of high profile remix b-sides and also featured in a Finnish TV show created by Jere Vainikka.  It also features the sensationally catchy Under Moonlight, featured in the film “Maya’s Voice” and a favourite of Tom Robinson (BBC) and James Theaker (NME) with good reason.

2010 saw the digital single release of the spectacular Bear At The Bus Stop with its incredible accompanying promotional video which on the day of its release caused their channel to become the 45th most viewed musician on Youtube. This was followed in 2011 with the anthemic Spin Off & the cult sensation Kim Jong Il Looking At Things.

In 2013 the band release their incredible debut album Relate, a cataclysmic journey documenting the breakdown of relationships, the discovery of self and the hurt that goes with the process. Featuring 13 incredible tracks including the cool intensity of “Just Suppose”, the dance-floor magnet “Initialise” & the sublime “These Movies Have Become One Big Joke”. It’s no wonder there’s so much excitement for this release.

Whether it’s the insightful witticisms of their interviews and blog updates, the detail within the multiple layers integral to their sound or the infectious beats that bring to mind the meat of Sonic Youth’s pop phase being fed through a Bugged Out blender, it’s no wonder Neon Highwire count artists such as French Horn Rebellion or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs amongst their fans.  In their own twisted words, it’s an electravaganza.
