Rāmere drive featured Pōneke 4-piece post-punk outfit Half/Angel playing for Friday live, playing their newest E.P - Boat Ramp + Jitterbug, and witty banter from today's drive host - Oto.
It's a chocka Rāmere Drive at 95bFM, first on the show is a live set from beloved Naarm outfit Folk Bitch Trio. Later, Georgia Knight stops in to debut a live-version of a track from her forthcoming debut album Beanpole on Friday Live, brought to you by NZ On Air Music, with thanks to McLeod's Brewery.
As per usual we played faves old and new on this episode, incl. Modniy, Heavy Chest, Charlie Chimi, Persian and The Vision to name just a few. Some students are on holiday this week so we had Rukiya from Lynfield College as a studio guest and she selected some classics from Sonic Youth, Cibo Matto, Childish Gambino and Portishead. The force is strong in this one.
After the usual festive period akl ghost town we're back in full effect! It's always nice to have the office open and buzzing when I hit the studio. We started with some b2b David Holmes brilliance incl. what is now a bonafied bFM banger remix by Andrew Weatherall (RIP). As per we travelled the world touching down in
São Paulo with Ana CMP, Los Angeles via Jeffrey Paradise, London (?) via NoTenshun and of course plenty of aces from Aotearoa!
