Antony and the Johnsons
Cry With Me I’ve never really been a huge fan of Antony and the Johnsons, but when I heard the first single ‘Another World’ from their newly released album The Crying Light I instantly fell in love with it. In his beautifully classical voice, Antony Hegarty sings about living in a world of peace, free [...]

The Dodos and The Ruby Suns live photos
The Dodos with The Ruby Suns Saturday, January 10, 2009 Kings Arms, Auckland A lengthy power outage in the Kings Arms area yesterday may have paid dividends for The Ruby Suns whose late arrival to the stage gave time for a very impressive crowd to gather. The saving grace was a back up generator, used [...]

Metronomy & The Teenagers live photos
Metronomy & The Teenagers Friday, January 9, 2009 Kings Arms, Auckland This was a highly anticipated gig, and I was not disappointed. While many maintain that they were a bit bored by the lack of live instrumentation, which I agree greatly detracted from the gig, it was still hugely energetic, entertaining and exciting. It was [...]

Fleet Foxes Live Photos
Fleet Foxes with Jess Chambers Thursday, January 8, 2009 Bruce Mason Centre, Auckland We had some of the best seats in the Bruce Mason Centre to enjoy one of the loveliest, most harmonic bandsI have ever seen.

Iran
Buried In Fuzz Despite gearing up to release their third LP Dissolver on February 3rd, Iran is still relatively unknown to many music fans. The band is a collaborative project (some would say a side project) between four musicians, Peter Hoffman (Mendoza Line), Aaron Romanello (Grand Mal), Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio) and Aaron [...]

Five O’Clock Heroes ft. Agyness Deyn
Super Vixen Slays UK Band I used to really like Agyness Deyn, she was spunky and cool and different for a supermodel. She rode a bike around town, didn’t come from a fashionably wealthy family and worked in a chip shop.

Flailing Uterus
Mucus Serenade This Missouri scuzz-punk two-piece is an arresting mish mash of influences that will grab your attention instantly. Their emphatic, shouty vocals bring to mind Auckland’s The Bemsha Swing, while their erratic, dirty and angular guitar reminds me of Wellington’s Sharpie Crows, and the crazy drumming is like Hamiltron’s Yokel Ono in their heyday. [...]
