Clap Clap Riot have been gracing Aotearoa, New Zealand's airwaves for the best part of a decade. 2017 has seen the release of their third album Dull Life, which has garnered them the nomination for Best Rock Artist at this year's Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. Stephen and Dave join Zac for a couple of quick numbers and a chat about the bands past, present and future.
This podcast was brought to you with help from NZ On Air Music and Vodafone Fantastic Fridays.
Johanna and Kura drop in to talk about the upcoming Auckland Theatre Awards. The awards themselves have long been a theatrical production, but is it all just air kisses and luvvie in-jokes? Or is it a stonking, multi-coloured riot of a night for participants and punters alike? (Spoiler: It's the latter. Most definitely the latter.)
3/4 of Stay Foolish join Hannah in studio to play some tracks ahead of the Grown Out gig, talk about how the band formed, and where the name Stay Foolish came from. Cheers NZ On Air Music!
Jenna's read _so_ many books this year, she's plum forgotten what she's reviewed on air. (Fair enough.) Still, never hurts to go through the choice picks of the year when the holidays are looming. Presents, anyone?
Mary-Margaret headed down to the quad to check out what was going on at the new Barilla dumplings on campus. She spoke to one of the staff members of the new store and a bunch of students who were walking past. Then there was some delicious on air snacking.
The Prime Minister's in the mood for a little Rackets today in celebration of New Zealand Music Month. In the humble off-air words of Havoc himsef: she's bFM as shit.
Teenage producer Leaping Tiger creates instrumental tunes in his bedroom that weave together the textural elements of electronica, alternative, hip-hop and R 'n' B. He joins the show to play a few songs from the recently released Cool Down EP and have a chat with Amelia. Cheers NZ On Air Music!!
Kimmy is not one, but two people: Alex and Catherine. Together they make propulsive and succinct techno tracks inspired by digging holes and trips to Turkey. The twosome came up to the studio on Good Friday with armfuls of KORG synthesizers to share some unreleased songs and have a yarn. Cheers NZ On Air Music!!
