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 […]

Gig Review: Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi (March 4, Wellington)

Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi MFC, Wellington Wednesday, March 4 When I reviewed There Is No Other – the duo album recorded over a handful of days last year by Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi – I talked about the tantalising prospect of this pair of musicologists taking to the road in support of this […]

Gig Review: Grizzly Bear (March 3, Wgtn)

Grizzly Bear The Opera House Saturday, March 3 Ever since The Festival got it really right a half decade ago and welcomed along Bon Iver (a person/band whose songs are patently absurd but it worked on the night, was undeniable) there’s been an aim to recreate that sort of magic.

DJ Setlist: The Third Eye – Tuatara Temple of Taste, The Story of Funk, Soul, Jazz, Blues and Groove, Friday, March 4, 2016, 6-9pm

My first time playing some records at the excellent Third Eye bar, the first time they’ve had a DJ I think. It was all about the comfort-food version of funk, soul, jazz and blues – a little bit of pop and hip-hop and electronica sneaking in there under the “groove” banner. I enjoyed it. Great […]
