GRG67: Happy Place
GRG67 Happy Place Rattle It can be very hard to keep up with Auckland-based label, Rattle. And I try! But there are albums that slip through the cracks, one such is this, the second (to my ears at least) from Auckland quartet GRG67. Get Happy is a vast improvement on the debut too. That was […]Archive

Stubs: # 267 – Calexico, Auckland, 2019
I’ve seen Calexico four times now. Which is a lot. Particularly since I don’t own any of their albums. The first time I saw them was super disappointing – and that’s when I had the most invested in it, I’d heard about a great show they did a few years earlier and I didn’t go. […]Archive

Stubs: # 245 – Fleetwood Mac, Auckland, 2019
I wasn’t sold on seeing Fleetwood Mac again straight away – which is to say I was real happy for anyone that was planning to go, but I’d seen them and even if it wasn’t with Christine it was with Lindsey! (And I’m Team Lindsey all the way). But I’m also a Neil Finn fan […]Archive

Gigs I Saw in 2019
I probably saw fewer gigs – and reviewed fewer gigs – in 2019 than any other year. That’s kinda nice. I also paid for a few shows too; more than other years. That’s also nice – liberating…although I’m so conditioned to writing a review to process the show that I still turn out the reviews […]Archive
