Finn Johansson with the rundown on his latest Demo Gods. He’s rounded up a couple of members of Tamaki pop-punksters Club Ruby: lead singer, Jade Lewis and bassist Hon Manawangphiphat, who will be back in the studio next week with their creation.
Finn Johansson comes into the studio with his latest Demo God – Maebh McCurdy (formerly LEIGH) for an entertaining chat and the unveiling of the song that takes you to places you didn’t even know you wanted to go.
The prompt was “The Great Spectacle of Music” and the resulting demo is titled Traipsing Through the Swamp (Every Little Froggy Gotta Love).
Otis Mace comes into the studio with his guitar to talk up his Planet New Tron Star gig at the Audio Foundation March 27th billed as "a sci-fi song saga of trans-dimensional alien life”.
Finn Johansson introduces his latest Demo God – Maebh McCurdy (formerly LEIGH) who has chosen the prompt ’The Great Spectacle of Music”. Maebh will be joining Finn in the studio next week to unveil their musical extravaganza!
George D. Henderson with another A Song From Insane Times. This week George has chosen his "favourite record by a New Zealand band” – from 1991, Stepford 5 and Little Sisters of Satan.
We’re in Adelaide to talk with Alina Kuzma who sings and plays the bandura (a traditional stringed Ukrainian instrument) in the all-female ensemble Daughters of Donbas who are playing WomAdelaide on their way to Auckland for a concert at the St Heliers Church and Community Centre Thursday March 12th.
Daughters of Donbas are a music and human rights project highlighting the plight of “at least 20,000 Ukranian children abducted from occupied Ukraine and taken to Russia”. Alina is joined by Canadian journalist and record producer Daniel Rosenberg.
Our Demo God this week has tripped into Americana with Finn Johansson on the back of the horse. Lead singer and vocalist for Soft Bait Josh Hunter took up the challenge, twisted the prompts and surprised us all with his (as yet) untitled demo. Hear it here!
