MTV award over the moon


Hey cyber famz

Fresh from our journeys cross the ditch.......and a few to many late nights gigging and celebrating. If you didn't already hear we took out the award for best kiwi act at the mtv awards in sydney in the weekend. It looked rigged as hell because non of the other finalist in our category turned up but i swear we had no idea, we just lived by our new motto of making the most of each chance to celebrate hence why we paid our way over and had a great time. Shout out to the local ozzy acts bliss n esso, jessica mouboy (sorry probably wrong spelling) and last but not less vanilla ice. For real Vanilla Ice was in the building and i have to be honest DJ Notiq spotted him straight away. We thought he was gassing us but true to his word the man "glowed".

Serenaded by a whole heap of rock "so in right now" bands i know of but really don't follow like "killers", "kings of leon" & "Wolfmother" it was cool to bump in to a few familiar faces shout out to rhys darby from flight of the concords as well as the brown faces who came up and made us feel welcome. Stoked to win the moon man despite talk of it being token if you know this industry you learn to appreciate every little bit of momentum you can get. On that note shout outs to the MTC with the smashproof album debuting 3 in the chart. To put that in to perspective thats the first hip hop album since scribes hugely anticipated "rhymebook" which dropped like almost 2 years ago now. To further the point the globe trotting brothers "Evermore" debuted 2 places down from them, in a heavily rock favoured industry as it looks at the moment that is huge. Congrats to the MTC fam again.....if you fellas keep this up this is starting to turn in to an MTC blog lol but thats for the good with aotearoa hip hop coming through. As long as the tunes coming out are reflective of our people then power to it......preach....preach...lol

We're preping the last single of "Elevator musiq" at the mo.....i know i said that like 2 months ago but its true, we shoot the vid in 2 and half weeks and should be an interesting shoot. Props also should go out to my bros at illegal musik who have another hit on their hands with "ghetto flower" J williams hitting the top 30 chart......

Back to OZ we had a dope time in brizzy looked after well by the broz and the crowd were mad receptive. Shout out to the crew at Trans RNB bar for hosting the after party.

We're got practice now so i'm a dash but keep your eyes locked for the new Vince harder clip just shot last weekend and also keep your ear out for the new nesian mixtape with all unreleased material.....if your interested and coping it email us contacts on www.nesian-mystik.com

Nesian hit oz


It's been a minute since i last blogged.....but i didn't really want to blog for the hell of it with out having anything Bananaz to report on.


Me and the brothers are hitting oz over the next 3 weekends. We're performing in melbourne friday night 20th and in Logan 28th followed by cairns on the 4th. Sorry Sydney despite being in your neck of the woods for the mtv awards (can u feel a plug coming on) yes you can vote for us on www.mtv.co.nz/win/326/ , unfortunately were not performing there yet....hopefully very shortly though.


Saw David dallas clip it's mean......the tracks hot too so hopefully this translates in to some movement for duke cause you can't deny the talent he has. Marketed right David cause blow up mainstream big, fingers crossed the collab with devolo brings a few new ears to attention.


We had practice last nite for our live band i've personally call " the elevators" but its going to be like an interchangable name what ever the album of the time is called the band will receive a piece of. For example the next album is called "Tropical penguins" so maybe "the elevators" will be called the "penguins" what ever the name i really like "the" in the title :). Alot of the baddest bands have it the...... eagles, beetles, rolling stones, red hot chilli peppers etc you catch my drift.


On another note were planing the next shoot for rsvp.....for any one thats heard the track would love to hear you ideas about possible video concepts. If you havn't heard it (feel it coming on) go to http://www.nesian-mystik.com/ where you can listen to a sampler of the track. I personally want a one shot vid but couldn't think of one apart from goodshirt sophie which is one of my favourites, then i thought of that miami clip by will smith....ddddaaaaaammmmm.....that video is bad.....i hate to think how much they spent on the vid.....i heard it was really expensive.....thats not a one shot vid cause of the effects it kind of looks it but the whole walking on going shot is what i'm going for....if any one can think of a better reference hola......also checked out the old favourite pharcyde "drop" love that vid....probably my all time next to bad boys for life and Outkasts (B.O.B).


N e ways look forward to creating more music shortly.....got a special guest dropping on our first single which is a forfillment of one of my career goals to collab with this artist and its crazy we took this long to do it. So yes we're back in the studio this sunday straight after playing in north shore for the dragon boating event.


If you are coming to Pasifika make sure you check out a band called chook pea, their rockers and will be on just before us. Half their band make up the nesian band and they'll be on just before us on the main stage....check it out.
