Meeting Famousness: The See And Be ‘Zine Scene

Incredibly Hot Sex With Hideous People – it’s a ‘zine you can scoop up around Wellington; put together by Bryce Galloway (aka Mr. Pudding, aka DJ $1 Record; I first knew him through his work as part of The Wendyhouse). There are over 60 issues of it but the one I fondly recall is Issue […]

Parquet Courts: Sunbathing Animal

Parquet Courts Sunbathing Animal What’s Your Rupture? / Mom and Pop I like this! And the exclamation mark is there because I’m sorta surprised I like this.

Terror of the Deep: Death of the Gideon

Terror of the Deep Death of the Gideon (Independent) Wellington band Terror of the Deep has been around since 2008 and, in the way that you’d hope, each release improves the sound – and direction – of the band; they feel more focussed, more confidant, calm even, with each album/EP.
