Gina Dellabarca, festival director for Show Me Shorts Film Festival, popped in today to let us know what's on at this year's fest. From the home-grown to the international, animation to music video- there's something for everyone and plenty to keep you entertained.
Special guest, Tami Neilson, pops into the studio to talk about all the exciting things she's been up to and will be getting up to. Talking Southern Fork Americana Fest 2019, an incoming Valentines Day album drop, Chickaboom!, the Waiata/Anthems album, and touring Aotearoa with her brother who's coming down from Canada. Aw, a lovely chat and a cuppa tea.
The last of our Laneway Spotlight for this week is Julia Jacklin, a personal fave for Rachel. Rachel chats about catching her at Laneway 2016 and being completely blown away. And after the release of her album Crushing earlier this year, Julia Jacklin is another artist you don't want to miss. Get your tickets.
Rachel's pretty excited about catching Stella Donnelly at Laneway 2020, and she's not alone. As a self proclaimed 'shit-stirrer', Stella Donnelly's music tackles some heavily political topics with a glorious attitude. Her debut album, Beware of the Dogs, is definitely one to check out. Get your Laneway tickets now so you don't miss out on catching her live.
Kura pops up to the studio to catch up with Rachel and Tess about how comedy in Aotearoa is going (spoiler: it's going great). Rachel chats to Kura about her latest show Kura Shoulda Woulda, winning the Billy T Award and HUMP, a comedy night in Tāmaki where you can catch Kura alongside Tim Batt, Courtney Dawson, and Matthew Fleet. Get along.
Today's Laneway Spotlight is JID, borned and raised in Atlanta, he released his first EP, Dicaprio in 2015. Working with artists like J Cole, EARTHGANG, Bas and Ab-Soul, JID's recently signed onto J Cole's label and released his latest single earlier this year. Don't miss him at Laneway.
We're highlighting another artist for you today, going by the name Kaiit. After being co-signed by Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, Kaiit has been said to be their musical love child. Plus, she's been been named one of the best rapped under 25 by Red Bull Music. So she's not an act you wanna miss, get your Laneway tickets on Thursday.
Happy Friday! We have Liz Stokes in studio to talk about The Beth's Homecoming Tour, being nominated for a Silver Scroll, touring the world and writing new music. What a treat!
