Guest Interviews

James Lavelle has some advice for Mikey regarding his first edition UNKLE figurine. And, y'know, that new album he's got coming out featuring Mark Lanegan, ESKA, Liela Moss, Troy Van Leeuwen, Andrew Innes, etc... no biggie.

Filmmaker Ursula Williams drops in to the studio to talk documentaries, art installations and her place within the 2017 Loading Docs initiative. As one of 10 directors each making a three minute short on the topic of 'diversity', Ursula introduces us to her subject: Auckland artist John Radford... and his sleazy real estate alter-ego Ron Jadford. With his work focussed on the destruction of inner city domestic architecture, Radford asks: what will exist where you live 100 years from now?

"Fuck the band. Fuck that documentary. Fuck it all!"

Head Like a Hole's Nigel Regan calls in ahead of the NZIFF premiere of Swagger of Thieves, Julian Boshier's new documentary on the group. Over ten years in the making, including unprecedented band member access and brutal honesty, how does Nigel feel as premiere night approaches?

Murray 'Legend' Cammick stops in to talk Iggy Pop's pajamas and his latest photography exhibition, AK 75-85. 

“I tried to document the music and the scene as a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary photographer. You either contribute to the myths/bullshit of rock n roll or you try and show some of the reality of the grind of touring and promotion. I recall being the designer at Craccum in 1976 and being delighted that our music editor John Robson came back from a press conference with a photo of Frank Zappa drinking a cup of tea. How sublimely un-rock n roll!”
