RNZ Reviews: January 2019

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now four years into  it or so… For […]

Tiny Ruins: Olympic Girls

Tiny Ruins  Olympic Girls  Ba Da Bing!  Where the first two full-lengthers and EPs felt like Tiny Ruins was merely the name of a project to house the songs of the very talented Hollie Fullbrook, the proof of the live shows has been the slow-simmering of Tiny Ruins The Band – its members fully integrating across the records to date to arrive now, together […]

Tiny Ruins: Winter Tour (June/July/Aug 2017)

Tiny Ruins has a new album completed – however it’s going to be a few months before any of us get to hear it. The good news is the announcement of a new tour, across NZ over winter. Even better, the shows will feature some of the brand new songs. Tiny Ruins is a favourite […]

Sweetman Podcast: Episode 41 – Nadia Reid

Welcome to episode 41 of Sweetman Podcast brought to you by Phantom Billstickers. A chat with singer/songwriter Nadia Reid. I guess I slowly caught on to Nadia Reid – along with most others – when I finally got around to hearing her debut album. What a record! Amazing. Sublime. Sensational. Mesmerising. All that. And more […]

Gig Preview: Shayne Carter, Tiny Ruins and Pikelet – Meow, Wellington, Friday, December 30, 2016

One of the best gigs of the year (surely) has just been announced, and it’ll take place on the penultimate day of the year – Shayne Carter and band, Tiny Ruins with her band and Melbourne’s Pikelet will play at Meow. Just $20 + booking fee. A bargain by anyone’s standards. And what a line-up. […]

Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour: Hurtling Through (ep)

Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour Hurtling Through (ep) Flying Nun Records This is a smart move – for both. Hamish Kilgour is an inventive player and yet he couldn’t quite carry it off and showcase his particular brand of magic on his own solo effort, Hollie Fullbrook aka Tiny Ruins is a confident, accomplished songwriter […]

Stubs: #169 – Bic Runga and Tiny Ruins, Wellington, 2015

Look, it was nice – and I said so – but immediately afterward I thought that it was quite a ‘soft’ gig. Which was probably what they were intending, but just safe, really. A bit dull, all up. But then, I can hardly be talking – we went to the  gig, had a babysitter and […]

Gig Review: Laura Marling (October 23, Akld)

Laura Marling The Powerstation, Auckland Friday, October 23 Laura Marling’s latest album, Short Movie, is fantastic – but you could be worried she didn’t think so, barely choosing from it to fill her first headlining gig in New Zealand. Instead, Marling chose a range of songs from her five albums to date, and a couple […]

Gig Review: Bic Runga & Tiny Ruins (July 4, Wgtn)

Bic Runga & Tiny Ruins Opera House Saturday, July 4 Bic Runga and Hollie Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins) had not met until recently. Runga sent the Tiny Ruins singer/songwriter an email expressing interest in touring together, praising Fullbrook’s work and seeking some form of collaboration. That email was a smart move. Tiny Ruins’ opening set was […]

Robert Scott: The Green House

Robert Scott The Green House Flying Nun Records There’s a quiet charm to Robert Scott’s best work – a song, such as Little Bird, one of just several on this, his latest solo album. It’s deceptively simple, yet could only have come from the heart and mind of Scott. He’s managed his time between supporting […]
