Gig Review: Dr. Jane Goodall (May 19, Wgtn)

Jane Goodall: Rewind The Future MFC Sunday, May 19  It was such a thrill to see and hear Dr Jane Goodall speak. The 85-year-old living legend of science, a primatologist, conservationist, activist, mentor who, Sir David Attenborough aside, is truly without peer, has been in our lives as a voice of compassion and knowledge. Through multiple […]

V/A: Stir It Up – Aotearoa’s Tribute To Bob Marley

Various Artists: Stir It Up: Aotearoa’s Tribute to Bob Marley Universal Music NZ Ltd. We love a bit of Bob Marley down here in these shaky isles. Smear it on your toast. Rub it between your thighs. Slap it on a rainbow-coloured badge. Crunch it up between your teeth and spit out an inferior version. […]

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 110 New Zealand Music Month

It’s always slightly depressing to me somehow – why we need one at all and who it’s for exactly. Growing up as a kid in the sixties most of the ‘homegrown’ music we heard was local cover versions of overseas artists songs – almost like a karaoke country or lamb dressed as mutton. There were […]

Stubs: #189 – Orchestra Wellington: Pounamu, Wellington, 2013

People tell you that you have preconceived ideas, they hold that against you – they have preconceived ideas about you of course, but can’t see that irony. You tell them I loved Pounamu – and yet I had hated the previous collaboration between Warren Maxwell and John Psathas. You tell them that Warren never sounded […]

TrinityRoots: Citizen

TrinityRoots Citizen TrinityRoots Look, I never quite got (into) the TrinityRoots sound – and remain largely happy about that. Here’s as close as I got to giving them a fair go, a piece I wrote about their original “reunion”. Since those three shows – after a five-year hiatus – a couple of different versions of […]

Sweetman Podcast: TEASER Episode 4 – Lisa Tomlins

Look, she’s worked with everyone in Wellington music – almost anyone you can think of she’s played a gig with them, been on their album, been a selling point of the sound. Most recently she’s toured the world with Neil Finn. I sat […]
