Stubs: # 243 – Yawning Man, Wellington, 2020

First gig of 2020. And I forgot to write a review. That sounds lazy doesn’t it. I write the reviews just for this site, for me – and for you if you’re reading them. And school holidays proved quite tricky to be timely with content. It’s been hard enough getting back into writing album reviews […]

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 108 Valhalla

It was a house on the Terrace that we found when we learned the big warehouse space that we called home was about to be torn down. Old and stucco, full of earthquake cracks and rundown but with a majestic view of the city. Valhalla was painted in spidery writing on the façade. There was […]
