Our Day 14 song for 31 Days of May Madness, attempting to post a New Zealand track every day of the month of May, is “Let’s Just Stay in Bed” by King Sweeties:
King Sweeties are bassist/ vocalist Cass Basil (Tiny Ruins) and drummer/ vocalist Bic Runga. The 5 song “We Are the Bosses” EP flew under the radar a bit late last year.
However, the post-punk-pop mix of Tom Tom Club styled sugar-pop with a bit of cool New Wave funk is a cracker, and a duo with the reputation of Cass Basil and Bic Runga nail it with style.
