Laneway 2019: Timetable + Site Map (Monday, January 28)
For me it’s a case of “Laneway…here we come!” for the first time since the first ever NZ edition of the Laneway Festival. So I’m really looking forward to catching some quality acts and taking a punt on a few lesser known (to me) musical gems. I won’t love it all I’m sure, but I’m going in […]Archive

Stubs: #198 – Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown and Run The Jewels, Wellington, 2014
You can never be sure until you go to the show. That’s the rule and this show was a great example. Beforehand I was expecting the most from Earl Sweatshirt since I liked his music the most. But on the night Danny Brown probably gave the most. Run The Jewels were superb too, though not […]Archive

Gig Review: Thundercat (February 3, Wgtn)
Thundercat San Fran Wednesday, February 3 Thundercat is a freak! He’s got the jazz-noodling from the 70s/80s down pat; he’s like all of your favourite session stars from the fusion era and (slightly) beyond – and all at once.

Stubs: # 52 – Laneway Presents…Laneway Wellington, Wellington, 2011
The second year of the Laneway festival coming to New Zealand saw them try something they’ll never do again – create a mini-version the following night in Wellington. It was at the Town Hall and saw half a dozen bands, starting straight after work, around 6ish, and on until the closer. It was a disaster. […]Archive

Gig Review: Little Dragon (Jan 27, Wgtn)
Laneway Presents…Little Dragon Shed 6 Tuesday, January 27 Swedish electronica/pop group Little Dragon has been a band for nearly 20 years, four friends forming through school connections. They’ve been releasing albums across the last decade, alternating between dark, stirring balladry and upbeat club-happy beat-driven dance-vehicles.
