Listened back to Earl Sweatshirts set at laneway last week for About Town. Also had a chat to Simon Grigg about the AK79 reissue and it's importance in NZ history. All this plus a curated selection of choice tunes new and old.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Rachel and Mary-Margaret’s sleeplessness is starting to show… can the excitement of a jam packed show wake them? Fabian Fanboy is recapping the Oscars live from Tinsel Town; Dr. Kirsten Zemke gets glam (rock) in Travelling Tunes; Mazbou Q talks his new name, new single, new music video, new baby daughter... new everything; and Zoë brings two whole Auckland Fringe shows in Stage Direction. TGIF, baby.
We had the usual segments today; Entertainment Guide, News on the hour and My Morning Mixtape with Lucy & Justin from Dick Move. About Town was back again this week as well. We listened through some tracks from Tamaki Makaraus Louisa Nicklin who performed with her band at the Ellen Melville Centre back in November for bFMs Drive Island.
Trying to show some love to the folks who work in the live music world. Every track tonight recorded live with an audience. from Heart Attack Alley in the Lucha Lounge to Pat Green live at Billy Bob's Texas, James McMurtry in Dubllin, David Lindley in Tokyo, live Skynrd, ZZ Topp, Marlon Williams in the 95bFM lounge and Julia Jacklin live at Laneway. Take care folks x
Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's Tuesday morning and we're easing into Breakfast; calling all human Shazam's for Second Guessing, it's a tricky one; the Mayor talks to us about Tāmaki's Alert Level Three, and wearing masks; Matt Hunter dials in to chat about his label, Heat Rockers, and his various musical hats; Zoë's got plenty of online theatre for you to enjoy; KMTP features on this week's Short Player; and Research Fellow, Shaun Hotchkiss, talks to us about cosmology.
Starts with some pretty familiar favorites but moves quickly into a ton of brand new to the show tunes, as well as pushing recent discoveries like Sammy Brue & Elijah Ocean. Pretty & brand new Australian Country Music from Ellisa Pernu, awesome Silver Jews, brutal Drive By Truckers and a frankly wayward stagger into the 1970's with The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and new Riders Of The Purple Sage. And a whole heap more.
