We end the year with a cracker! Singer, songwriter, and ocean sailor Andrew Fagan took up the challenge to be our final Demo God for the year and chose the prompt ’The Exploration of Space’.
Finn with the penultimate Demo Gods. He’s making room in the recording van to do a demo with Andrew Fagan, fresh from a 20-date nationwide tour, for the last Demo Gods of 2025. We’ll hear it next week on the last show of the year!
Jess Bailey, aka Fables, showcases the demo she made with Finn. The prompt was ’Surf the wave, baby’! and while it doesn’t have a lot to do with surfing it is very fine indeed!
Charlotte pops in to do her civic duty and tell Karyn about Night Mayors: creatives having their say on what they would do with the city if they were Mayor.
Finn joins Karyn this week to introduce this fortnight's Demo God who happens to be Jess Bailey of Fables! The prompt for next week's demo is 'Surf the wave, baby!'
Finn is back with Paul Cathro and his finished demo, based on the prompt 'The highs, the lows'. (They've added a 'z' and rushed it straight into the studio. You can listen here to 'The Highz The Lowz'.)
Finn introduces power pop sensation Paul Cathro, and traces his lineage from head trauma in Dunedin to his latest album Catapault, which came out this year. Next week is their song, with the prompt 'The highs, the lows'.
