Taken from hotpress.com....
Carrickmacross Art-pop quartet, Sanzkrit have had a track selected for inclusion on the October edition of Busta, Italy’s biggest compilation CD.
Over 20,000 free copies of Busta get distributed every month in Rome, Milan and Bologne’s most trendy clothes shops, clubs, galleries and universities. The track selected for inclusion is 'Talk Of The Town' – the band's latest single in Ireland
In keeping with the Italian theme, Sanzkrit have also secured distribution for their forthcoming album in Italy with trendy indie label GetRocked.
“We haven’t even finished recording our album, but they really liked the songs they heard and were eager to work with us,” Sanzkrit front man Dave Marron told Hot Press. “They’re also going to be booking a European tour for us next summer. It’s really positive news for us. We love touring Ireland, but it is a relatively small market. We need to think bigger, just to survive.”
Sanzkrit are currently putting the finishing touches to their much anticipated debut album. The as-yet-untitled record is scheduled for release in spring 2009

GUARDIAN BAND OF THE DAY INFO.
Hometown: Auckland, New Zealand.
The lineup: Steve Mathieson (vocals, guitar), Tim Van Dammen (drums, handclaps), Stephen Parry (bass), James Brennan (guitar, backing vocals).
The background: From the label that brought the world Late Of The Pier, Cajun Dance Party, Laura Marling and Jamie T come Collapsing Cities, who have just moved to Britain to capitalise on their reputation back home in New Zealand for exuberant, twisted post-punk indie rock. Twisted? The band's debut single Fear Of Opening My Mouth features the playful warning, "Next year I think I'll kill myself", and it's jolly enough to catch on with its "I've got the fear" chorus, unison sung-spoken vocals, handclaps, curvilinear guitar pattern and shambling rhythm just made for collapsing students at indie discos. Fans in high school of exponents of askew indie both American (Pavement, Truman's Water) and local (those heroes of the Dunedin scene, the Clean), CC played their first gig exactly two years ago, in May 2006, when they opened something called the Disasteradio/Kill Surf City Low Hum tour. "We're still toddlers," they say, "but confident toddlers".
Having played Great Escape, Reading and Leeds, Bestival and supporting Black Kids in June. You'll be able to witness their modus operandi - the band apparently scam free studio time wherever they can and record as many songs as they can manage live - and find out what it is that's getting indie's crucial three of the airwaves (Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and Zane Lowe were all at their debut UK show last week) so excited. If you like ramshackle, anarchic, chaotic guitar-pop based on nagging, high-register, angular riffs, brainy/dumb choruses and lyrics that expose the contradictions of the modern world and the human condition, you should check them out.
The buzz: "Fear Of Opening My Mouth is a propulsive, jaw-dropping proposition."
The truth: They sound like an NZ version of one of those new American or Canadian commune-bands purveying close-to-collapse indie-pop.
Most likely to: Make Pavement reconsider the timing of their comeback.
Least likely to: Make you depressed.
What to buy: Debut single Fear Of Opening My Mouth is released by Way Out West, with the debut album Elixir Always to follow later this year.
File next to: Go-Betweens, Triffids, the Clean, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
