The Aotearoa Americana show for NZ Music Month, wallowing in the glory of it all. Not surprisingly featuring Marlon Williams, The Warratahs, Delaney Davidson, The Eastern, Reb Fountain, Kendall Elise, The Broadsides, Bernie Griffen and The Grifters & The Vietnam War among others. A little more surprisingly perhaps, sneaking in that quaint Hallelejah Picassos version of Who do you love?, Some Chills & Street Chant's epic NZ folk song of despair, Pedestrian Suppport League.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's the last day of 100% NZ music on bFM and Rachel reckons the suns out for it; Fabian Fanboy tells us about his chat with Will Smith, Aladdin and Brightburn; Dr. Kirsten Zemke brings in some Kiwi Country music, wow; Moana Maniapoto dials in to chat with Rachel about her new Single, Tū; Tim Batt, regular guest nowadays, talks about buying a new domain name; and Zoë gives you a guide to some laughs this weekend. Just happy to be here.
Pretty casual approach this week, no rhyme or reason just The Budrows, The Weakerthans, 4 Gun Ridge, The Heavy Horses. Barry Saunders and Delaney Davidson, Kendal Ellise, The Echo Oh's, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Little Feat and a heap more including a test pilot for a show that's all double-barrelled first names, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Lou Lord and Jessica Lee Wilkes...listen to this space.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Rachel's here and Tess is back from her staycation, oh to be reunited on this foggy morning; Fabian Fanboy's confused by the weather but clear about some good films; a quick chat to Ezra from Earth Tongue about Berlin and their new track; Dr. Kirsten Zemke's here with City Pop, Tess's favourite; Rachel chats to one half od Church & AP about touching down in London and Dandelion; Zoë's studying but she's got theatre that for other people to enjoy; and Miss June dials in to talk to Rachel about their global tour (more international content). Big Breakfast for Friday morning.
