So Sweet Partyshank

In the age of countless bedroom producers and dime-a-dozen blogs, innovation has been lost in the musical oversaturation. With an arsenal of circuit-bent toys, 8-bit samples and high-speed dance, Partyshank has championed their own sound on the basis of pure innovation.

To create their unique sound, satirically labeled Toystep, they use toys intended for children that have been mass-produced for next-to-nothing from plastic moulded parts. 'The reaction to our music has been great. We are both a little insane so the music we've created is pretty understandable,’ they say. ‘But somehow other people from all over the world have also enjoyed it and want us to share it with them.' MySpace is, they say, the simplest, fastest and cheapest way of communicating their work to a seemingly limitless amount of people. 'The fact that promoters from all around the world can hear our music and contact us has resulted in us playing gigs in countries we've never even been to before, let alone dreamt of playing in.'

As the pioneers of Toystep, Partyshank have generated an international MySpace fan base that have pushed them to the number one spot on the list of 'Big in '08' acts to watch on the social networking site. MySpace has become instrumental in adding bands to the musical radar and creating overnight internet music sensations. The boys have garnered enough notoriety and created enough 'buzz' to be able to turn down offers from a number of record labels in favour of going it alone. They sell their EP and t-shirts on their MySpace page and their 2008 MySpace calendar of gigs reads like a world tour as the duo move from Tunbridge Wells to Venice before attacking the US..

Their proudest MySpace moment came when they were messaged by dance act 'Justice' www.myspace.com/etjusticepourtous. 'They told us they were opening every set they played with our electro track 'Penis Vs. Vagina'. We were then sent a YouTube video of them playing it to 10,000 people.' The tastemakers of electronic music have taken notice of Partyshank and now it is time for the rest of the world to get to know Christian Shank and Party Sausage. With Fischer Price toys in hand, Partyshank is armed and ready to embark on their maiden US tour.
