Published via Auckland University Press, the biographry is a comprehensive account of Knox's life and career from Invercargill to current day. It's an honest account of an artist who's innumerable creative outputs since the '70s have cemented his place as behemoth in the musical landscape and cultural history of this country.
You'll be able to catch Craig in conversation with Russell Brown at Real Groovy from 6pm, alongside Don McGlashan and SJD, Groopchat and Gemma Gracewood.
Molly is joined in the studio by Toody Cole, the aptly dubbed 'Godmother of Rock n Roll'. Toody has returned to Aotearoa to play music from the catalogue of the infamous garage-rock pioneers Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows. Toody played bass and sung in both bands alongside her husband Fred Cole, who passed away in 2017. This time around, Toody's band is comprised of Pierced Arrows bandmate Kelly Haliburton, as well as Kelly's bandmate, Christopher March, from Jenny Don't & The Spurs. Toody plays Tāmaki tonight before heading across the country and then making a final stop back at Galatos for The Others Way 2025. Whakarongo mai nei!
