The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier. Clones of the Queen is the selected artist for 'Hawaiian Indie.' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]]> cotq self music genre style technology https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:8c5dbf51ba72/ 2015-12-08T18:59:55+00:00 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7998931.stm matthewmcvickarBy "fingerprinting" DNA of the ant species - Mycocepurus smithii - they found them all to be clones of the colony's queen.]]> cotq science animals https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:0afa04452fc5/ 2014-08-06T23:39:57+00:00 http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/08/nine-hawaii-bands-you-should-listen-to-now.html matthewmcvickarFor Fans Of: Son Lux, Animal Collective Take an atmospheric siesta with Laylo’s creative and sometimes dissonant vocals. Like a hip-hop songstress who stumbled into a drum circle, lyrics are definitely the centerpiece of Queen’s EP, Moonlight, which dropped last September. With a flair for the spooky, their electronic stylings were featured as part of Hawaii’s Halloween festival, Hallowbaloo. Personally asked to open for the Cure, you can hear some Robert Smith throughout their three EPs, all free for download on their website.]]> cotq https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:1d4679017101/ 2013-08-02T01:52:13+00:00 http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-cure-neil-blaisdell-in-honolulu-honolulu#hrid:MY7FNlL71DZjkOeZ580YCA matthewmcvickarAlso, I was under the false impression before they  began that it was going to be a Queen cover band, so I was super disappointed with that.]]> self cotq honolulu hawaii band music review https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:42074748aabb/ 2013-08-01T08:19:24+00:00 http://rocksubculture.com/2013/07/31/the-cure-the-great-circle-tour-at-neal-s-blaisdell-arena-honolulu-hawaii-7302013-concert-review/ matthewmcvickarI was not familiar with Clones of the Queen prior to this show, and unfortunately didn’t have time to preview their work in recent weeks, so had no idea what to expect. In short, the Honolulu band was amazing. Really love their sound and they rock it live. The funny thing is that their singer, Ara, at one point deep into their set remarked that she was nervous. Honestly, I thought they really belonged up on that big stage and never would have known had she not talked about her experience while performing at the Arena.]]> music self cotq https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:c8daa86da133/ 2013-07-31T23:36:14+00:00 http://www.honolulupulse.com/2013/07/review-the-cure/ matthewmcvickarSomeone did Clones of the Queen a big favor by adding an opening act to the show. No disrespect to the local talent, as they’re certainly on their way to bigger things and it was a big night for them — but The Cure needed no help to fill a venue the size of Blaisdell Arena, or to give Hawaii an unforgettable milestone event.]]> music hawaii cotq https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:38ad6d1f5930/ 2012-11-26T07:00:08+00:00 http://www.dummymag.com/features/2012/09/13/essay-bandcamp-and-the-music-industry-of-tomorrow/ matthewmcvickar cotq self music bandcamp internet musicbusiness musicindustry https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:a9598a201315/ 2012-08-13T19:52:12+00:00 http://www.honolulupulse.com/music/sceneheard-clones-of-the-queen-get-braided matthewmcvickarI have wanted to write about the dream pop trio Clones of the Queen for a while now, but have purposefully held off until their next album release.
