I tēnei ata Rachel and Zazi are easing us back into the swing of things with new music and hilarious chats. Rachel brings us new music from Michael Hurley, P.H.F., and BUB; Zazi shares fun facts about The Simpsons; and they almost do some impressions...almost...Whakarongo mai!
Oto and Jaycee had a chat with Singaporean music legend Isaac Chiew, frontman of the rock group Cactus Cactus and founder of Big Duck Music, a regional independent music collective.
They talked about Isaac's musical journey, stories of his touring Malaysia and why Southeast Asian music is so important to him.
Deputy Paul just about loses his shit with the amazing Reb Fountain dropping by the studio, playing a couple of songs and having a chat to promote her EP Hopeful/Hopeless and the upcoming show at the Wine Cellar where it was recorded. There's a New Riders of The Purple Sage inspired trip through some California hippy country folk rock that includes The Grateful Dead, Natural Child & The Magic Factory among others - as well as the Deputy's continuing push on Anna Tivel, a sneaky Lyle Lovett tune and a some heavy lyrics from Joe Pugg.
I tēnei ata kei te Hōtaka Parakuihi: the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is on the line talking about some heavy stuff in What's Up with Dr Shane Reti; Rob Bollix is here taking us deep into the Mind Trench; the beautifully talented Reb Fountain pops into the studio to chat about her new single 'Beastie' and upcoming album, Iris (very cool); and Tim's here telling us what's what the media in Mediabatt! Whakarongo mai!
