The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 90 The Spines 2015
We had a pretty good year as it unfolded. It started with a big profile on the band’s first decade in Audioculture – the NZ music online archive. Strongly written by Gary Steel with interesting insight into those early line-ups and the records we made. Great to be officially represented in an historical and cultural […]Archive

I was back down at The Cross to play a few tunes. Nice vibe on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I played from 3-6pm. A bit of old soul and some 80s tunes too – then into the 90s and 00s. Fun set. I enjoyed it. Here’s what I played… 1. Erykah Badu, Rimshot (intro) 2. […]Archive

Recovery Sessions at the Southern Cross: 13/09/15 DJ Set
This Sunday, September 13, I’m back playing some records at The Southern Cross, for their weekly Recovery Sessions, 3-6pm. The weather’s warming, that garden bar’s a great prospect.

DJ Setlist: Songs My Mother Taught Me – Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, 2015
Mother’s Day – my first time playing records down at The Southern Cross as part of their regular weekend entertainment. I figured I’d play records I inherited/first heard via my mum – so that was the theme. And it was a fun round, from 3pm-6pm down at The Cross. Hope to play there again sometime… […]Archive

This Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day in New Zealand. It’s also going to be my first time playing records down at the Southern Cross (well, technically that’s not quite true – I rolled out a few tunes there last year as part of the Vinyl Affair). This will be my first time playing to […]Archive

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 51 The Cross
It happened gradually. I just began stopping in there and got to know the place and the staff. My local had been Bodega which was a wholly different beast – more like Cheers with gigs. The regulars there were my mates but really it was a venue. The Cross was a place to go just […]Archive
