In which Dr. Zemke details uses for/of: the vibraphone. Whether cracking solos, percussive melodies or Looney Tunes foley, this week's instrument brings the bones-as vibes. (Sorry.)
Vincent H.L has been in loads of Auckland bands - Magic Factory, The Conjurors and Hang Loose to name just a few. Vincent and his new band came up to the studio to perform his debut solo single 'Up All Night', and let loose couple of unreleased tunes. Cheers NZ On Air Music!!
As a special double-whammy we have two Fancy New Bands this week and rapper Ryan Hendriks joins Pearl to spit a few verses. Ryan is one-half of Bad Crop but has just dropped his solo record 'Old Zealand'. Cheers NZ On Air!!
For nearly a decade Aucklander musician Roy Irwin has had a steady solo career, with over 20 releases under his belt (not including his work in Heidi Pasadena and Cool Runnings too). He joins Zac to perform tracks from his latest album 'King Of Pop', that was released late last year on 1:12 Recordings.
We've been waiting with baited breath, and now, it's finally here. Fabian reviews Solo: A Star Wars Story. Is it any good? Or is 90% of Han's characterisation just based on Harrison Ford's charisma? Does multi-hyphenate genius Donald Glover deliver? And why were their only 9 people at last night's screening?? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Another glorious Thursday. Including chats with Chris Fowlie from NORML, a great cocktail thanks to Lovebucket & Ableforths Rumbullion. Steve Newall is a dissenting voice against Solo.
Lowtide founder Stefan Ozich joins us in the studio to share some beats from his solo project, talk about his upcoming trip to Europe, and what's coming up for Lowtide. Thanks NZ On Air Music!!
Gaz Coombes gives Mikey a buzz in studio, ahead of his 'World's Strongest Man' tour and upcoming show in September, to talk about all the awesomeness we can look forward to. Following the release of his magnificent third solo album, Gaz chats to Mike about his inspiration and juggling being a dad. Must really be the World's Strongest Man, huh?
"Sometimes we are taught to think in whispers..." Mya Cole's solo show Whispers at the Basement Theatre explores the idea of growing up in a culture taught to reject itself. She is in studio with Rachel and Theo to speak about how the project came to be and how writing, poetry, sound and performance help her shape these ideas.
