The Jellyfish Bandits
(Clap) Bloop (Clap) Bloop Bloop
I feel honoured to be able to write an article on The Jellyfish Bandits, for aside from this amazing photo, the band is relatively unknown. I discovered them after they added Einstein Music Journal as a friend on […]

Zach Hill
Leaping and bounding through scuzz coloured mountains
Visual artist and champion of the skins, Zach Hill seems to like forcing himself out of static situations. As the previous drummer for Hella, he has rustled up some extra energy in the lower-leg department and taken to making his own schizted-out, flailing electro-limbs, hell-bent music, after his […]

The Dutchess and the Duke
King and Queen
Male/female pop groups have been very popular lately, perhaps everyone in the world is in love with each other, perhaps not. So if you are bored of love songs sung by boys and girls who are so obviously in love, then perhaps you will like The Dutchess and the Duke. Concentrating their talents […]

SideKickNick
In a Fish Bowl
Nick Buckton finds it funny when I confess I don’t know how to work a kazoo. That I couldn’t even identify it as one cracks him up. “It’s a kazoo!! What do you mean what is it!?” the SideKickNick main man laughs. “That’s so funny!” Popping into a café to have […]

Grampall Jookabox
Sub Tropicana Punk!
David “Moose” Adamson, AKA Grampall Jookabox, took me by surprise the other day when I clicked on his suggestively-titled song Girl Aint Preggers that I discovered while browsing My Old Kentucky Blog. With elements of my favourite fab singer of TeenWolf/Brand New Math fame, Bradley Artesque Fajita, and incorporating Animal Collective-esque poly rhythms, […]

Beach House interview
Your Little Universe
The grandiose and escapist sound of Beach House has been winning fans worldwide, and now New Zealand is lucky enough to catch their mesmerizing music live. I called guitarist Alex Scally to have a chat while he was getting ready for a show later that day. In apparently typical BH fashion, […]

V!xens
Fluro Envy!!!
If you have always been envious of ‘fluro kids’ then maybe think twice before expressing your opinion! Some people like bright colours, what’s wrong with that? Four of these ‘kids’ are in the band V!xens, and their music reflects just that. In an email to EMJ, band member Joel Wood says “pink […]

Whammy Bar, Auckland
Credit must be given to the promoter Mr Matthew Crawley for this one. His decision to allow Moron Says What?!?! to open was a brave one, but one that totally paid off. The four Auckland girls played an energetic set to an […]

Pierre de Reeder
Rilo Reeder
This post is for a particular Auckland band who adore Jenny Lewis and her band Rilo Kiley. Pierre de Reeder for those who hadn’t already guessed, is the bass player in Rilo Kiley, who earlier in the week released his debut solo album titled The Way That It Was. Smooth, sombre and rolling […]
