Rachel and Zoë headed along to independent music's most glitzy night of the year: The Taite Prize! Named after the late great music journalist Dylan Taite, the prize celebrates outstanding New Zealand albums released in the previous calendar year. This year's big winner was Anthonie Tonnon for his gorgeous record 'Leave Love Out Of This' (Slow Time Records). The Auckland Live Best Independent Debut went to Jazmine Mary for their debut album 'The Licking of a Tangerine', while legendary broadcaster Karyn Hay ONZM was awarded the Independent Spirit Award, and RNZ's Tony Stamp took out the inaugural NZ On Air Outstanding Music Journalism award. Whakarongo mai nei for the full scoop and interviews with the winners!
Jazmine Mary's in the studio playing some gorgeous live tracks and having a chat about their upcoming album and going on tour with Reb Fountain. Whakarongo mai nei.
