V/A: Better Already – The Songs of Al Park 

Various Artists:  Better Already: The Songs of Al Park  ALP Records/Southbound  An intriguing compilation, this. One that works very well too – the songs are fine, strong, interesting. Sometimes great. But the talent involved would mean fans would want to get on board anyway. Delaney Davidson, Marlon Williams, Barry Saunders, Adam McGrath….it’s a package-tour without the tour. This […]

The Marlon Williams Showcase: Make Way For Love Gets Previewed in Sydney, Monday, January 29, 2018

I was in Sydney for a few things – a chat on the radio, a Foo Fighters/Weezer gig, but mostly to catch up with friends and family. It turned out to be a more “work-related” long weekend than anticipated. Some meetings with various industry people – chatting about books and things and meeting two key […]

Gig Review: Tami Neilson and Her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm! (March 11, Wgtn)

Tami Neilson and Her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm! San Fran Friday, March 11 The main thing I took home from this show – a terrific gig, featuring Tami and band up at the San Fran in Wellington – is that this Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm is exactly what a supporting band should be. […]

Tami Neilson: Don’t Be Afraid

Tami Neilson Don’t Be Afraid Neilson Records/Southbound If the brand new album, Don’t Be Afraid isn’t quite as good – as a whole – as last year’s tremendous Dynamite! then, at the very least, it contains a small handful of moments that, taken individually, provide greater highlights. And with time it’ll feel every bit as […]

That’s I […]
