If there is such a thing as perfect pop, Sekiden, on a stomach full of red cordial, would be fairly close to the mark. With their penchant for the sound of electronic synthesiser and keyboards of the late 70s and early 80s, Sekiden have developed their own brand of analogue pop, stealing from the past to create a new and better future.

Since their inception in late ‘98 Sekiden have gone from strength to strength, inking a deal with Modular recordings in…

Those of you who have cable television may sometimes find yourselves flipping through the channels, trying to find a show worth watching. It can be hard at times depending on the time of day, day of the week, etc… It’s harder still for those who have no cable and rely on bunny ears. Anyway, every once in a while something will literally jump out at you and you’re sitting there thinking “Oh my, it’s Sekiden! And they’re on TV!” So…

Word from Australia is Sekiden is working on their sophomore album. The new disc has a working title of Radio Zombies.

Sekiden made a big impression on everyone who caught their North American shows last spring. Of their Canadian Music Week set El Mocambo, Chart Magazine reported that Sekiden is “proof that the Australian music scene is alive and kicking, the band, largely unknown to the Canadian public, made the crowd smile, drink and dance — what more can you ask for in a pop band?”

Boompa Records is set to release Sekiden’s Junior Fiction on February 10th. Expect to see Seja, Simon and…

Every good label starts with a compilation. A year and three releases late(r), Boompa Records is excited to announce the release of Boompa Volume 1.
