On Travelling Tunes with Dr Kirsten Zemke, we explore grime music. Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead speaks to Rachel about the band's new album Sit Down For Dinner, out today. Litia Tuiburelevu is our Viewmaster, talking about the new season of her show Still Here. Swop from Yoko-Zuna, Kédu and Elisa are in the studio having a yarn about their upcoming gig at Neck of the Woods. Whakarongo mai nei!
Liam spoke to Phil Elverum from Mount Eerie and The Microphones about their upcoming gig at Whammy Bar.
Frances speaks with Gene Rivers, Auckland Council Arts and Culture Programmer who runs the Stand Up Stand Out performing arts and music regional competition for high schoolers.
She also speaks with Sally McMath from Artspace Aotearoa about the launch of The Kit, a new subscription-based artist resource.
Phil Elverum is the primary songwriter, performer, and producer for Mount Eerie and The Microphones. For around 27 years, Phil has been creating some of the most revered and critically acclaimed indie folk of all time. His music veers between stripped back acoustic guitar recordings, to terrifyingly loud and distorted sonic experiments.
Mount Eerie is currently on the verge of a return to Aotearoa, playing in Tāmaki Makaurau, Pōneke, and Ōtepoti with Black Belt Eagle Scout - another band from Washington State that will bring new and classic Mount Eerie tunes to a new, full band soundscape.
I’ve been obsessed with the music of The Microphones and Mount Eerie since I was fourteen. I think I had the Glow Part 2 album cover as my profile picture on Google for about four years, so suffice to say it was a real privilege to interview him. We had a yarn about the upcoming shows, his previous tours of Aotearoa, twenty years of the Mount Eerie name, and more.
