Gig Review: Come Together – Abbey Road (December 10, Wellington)

Come Together: Abbey Road Opera House Thursday, December 10 Last year some of New Zealand’s best known, much loved musicians banded together and delivered a concert replication of Neil Young’s Live Rust album/show – I went along slightly cynical. I left impressed with the effort – it showcased that wonderful music in the very best […]

Shihad: FVEY

Shihad FVEY Warner/Roadrunner Records Remember back nearly a decade ago Shihad came back from its brief name-change (as, mumble-mumble “Pacifier” – the mind still boggles) with Love Is The New Hate, the first promise of a return to the roots. It never quite had the magic, the “heavy” felt sprayed on, just as easily wiped […]
