Priya Sami of Tāmaki Makaurau post-punk doo-wop group BUB chats us through track selections and New Amsterdam, the last single to drop from the band's debut album Can't Even. If you missed their album release show last week, no sweat because BUB will be playing this Friday at Real Groovy, and the following day at Urbanaut's 8th Birthday bash at Whammy bar. Whakarongo mai nei!
Featuring music from Stella Donnelly, Look Blue Go Purple, The Indicators, and Princess Chelsea.
Featuring a bunch of great guests this Rāapa Drive, Leif Vollebekk starts off the show with an acoustic set, then Steve reviews the newest addition to the Final Destination franchise and more on Flicks 'n' That. Priya of BUB is on What's Cooking with to talk through some of her favourite tracks and the band's new album Can't Even, and Ant Timpson phones in to talk about the 12 hour TRASHATHON happening at the Hollywood Avondale the weekend after next.
Ant Timpson chats us through the upcoming 12-hour-marathon of the trash, obscene and cult films playing at the Hollywood Avondale on Saturday 23 May. What is trash cinema? You'll have to head to the Hollywood to decide for yourself and indulge in this year's lineup of flicks at The Incredibly Strange Archive & Vinegar Syndrome Present: TRASHATHON.
Jack Bromwich came into the studio to talk about his latest single, Never Dreamed. They also talked about the beauty of the music community within Aotearoa and some of his most significant influences.
Today on the show, Elle spoke to Stu from The Empty Threats, which you can listen back to HERE. You can also listen back to a chat with Jack Bromwich HERE.
Alongside the usual slew of tracks and somewhat coherent bants w/ Elle! Thanks, as always, to The Tuning Fork.
