I've been sick in bed all Bank Holiday weekend, so I decided I might as well see if I've been missing any decent Auckland/NZ bands since I left. What the hell, right? Fired up the links here and then the various bfm Youtube channels and then moved to bandcamp ...…

Apart from these acts, there’s also several other very, very good young bands around Dunedin at present; I reckon the local scene is the best it’s been several years’ primarily due to these bands and their associated bands.

See, back in the day, some half-mad manager would have booked three…

Trick Mammoth are pretty good, but Millie Lovelock's main band, Astro Children, are even better, I reckon. As the name suggests, they go for a more droney, shoe-gazey, space rock approach.

We went up to Islington with a just-arrived Wellington friend week before last to see Veronica Falls. Great gig, but man they sounded like The Chills. The illusion of being in Dunedin in the mid-80s was only shattered during song breaks, when the…

Wow,there's actual Ministry of Compulsory Joy in the interwebs! OMG.

TuneIn
Love TuneIn – and it's not just mobile. The new stereo setup at my place doesn't have a tuner in it anymore, all radio off that interwebs thing even when it's local – I find I tend to start on the local stations then end up listening to some…
