Princess Chelsea drops New Music Video for 'We're So Lost'

Princess Chelsea has a new music video for her new(ish) single 'We're So Lost'.



The video is set in a dystopian cyber future in the year 2022 and is made by Simon Ward and the folks at Skyranch.

Originally a Voom classic, this is the first snippet we've heard from her upcoming second album "The Great Cybernetic Depression".

We're So Lost is available digitally for free and on 7 inch vinyl (not free) and is accompanied by another new song 'When The World Turns Grey' which features the epic shreds of Jonathan Bree & Vincent Lum.

The Eversons release new single and video!

Lil' Chief is excited to announce the release of a new single by The Eversons - Marriage. It is available now for free or 'name your price' on the Eversons bandcamp page.

'Marriage' is the last single from debut album 'Summer Feeling'. 

'Auckland City Song' is the non album b-side. It is a true-life story, documenting The Eversons’ recent move from New Zealand’s tiny capital Wellington, up to the bustling metropolis of Auckland City. Will they make it big in the big city? Or will they crash and burn like so many before them.





The music video was directed by Ralph Matthews. It features the Eversons playing a number of roles including tasty battered fish as well as label mate Princess Chelsea networking on her cool cellular phone.

Sheep, Dog & Wolf Album 'Egospect' Released Today!

Lil' Chief is pleased to announce the release of 'Egospect' by Sheep, Dog & Wolf.
Sheep, Dog & Wolf is the most recent addition to our roster - and is the project of 19 year old multi-instrumentalist and producer Daniel McBride.




McBride self-released his 2011 ep 'Ablutophobia’  at age 17 and thousands of downloads later The Guardian named him a young 'Surfjan Stevens'.  We here at Lil' Chief had to agree and are pleased to present the first full length album 'Egospect' in digital, cd and vinyl format. Egospect is free to download on Bandcamp however unfortunately due the lack of a money tree at Lil' Chief HQ and the general necessity for us to eat / continue to release music we have to charge for vinyl and cd :)






Sheep, Dog & Wolf will be playing an Auckland album release show tomorrow night (Saturday) at The Golden Dawn in Ponsonby - and will be on stage at 10pm!

Having already attracted the attention of a number of booking agents and promoters in Europe due to the online stir created by his first e.p  Sheep, Dog & Wolf will then be embarking on a European tour.
