Meet Raw Meat Monday

Way back, when there were still newspapers, I did a lot of arts-reviewing. What better way, I figured, to make friends, right? You go to shows, say they’re absolutely shit and that the people that just died on stage needn’t bother ever getting up again and you’re paid an enormous amount of money and everyone […]

Ethersonic Presents LENS_01: NZ FRINGE

Why be in one Fringe Festival this year when you can be in two! That’s what I say. I say that this year in particular because I find myself, well, in TWO Fringe Festival shows. The second of the shows is with a music project I’ve been participating in – Ethersonic. We debuted (in our Wellington configuration) late last […]
