Feel like you are missing out already with
no Big day Out in New Zealand this year?
Fear not! Kiwi promoters have cherry-picked
the bill and are bringing five acts across the
ditch to our shores in 2013.
Crystal Castles, Band of Horse, Pretty
Lights and Alabama Shakes have just been
announced alongside the already confirmed
shows of Animal Collective and the Red
Hot Chili Peppers in confirming they will be
including a New Zealand stopover on their
BDO trip down under in January.
Crystal Castles are undoubtedly a
highlight of this announcement for those
who love the feel of the moshpit. The
Toronto duo only just made it here for the
2011 Big Day Out but Alice Glass’ broken foot
severely curtailed the antics of a band with a
reputation for a ferocious live show.
Band of Horses – who are currently
streaming their fourth album Mirage Rock on
their official website after its official release
last week – are another act with a reputation
here. Their beautifully bruised take on
classic American rock, characterized on two
previous visits by incredible musicianship
and Ben Bridwell’s keening, Neil Young-like
vocals, has earned Band of Horses a legion of
loyal NZ fans.
Alabama Shakes, a band that has kicked
soul music back into the future with an
electrifying live reputation, have been called
the next big thing and are heading our way.
Their debut album Boys & Girls has been
called one of the albums of 2012 by critics
everywhere.
Pretty Lights bring the dance floor direct
from the Big Day Out’s Boiler Room, stopping
off on the way out of Aussie for shows and
Animal Collective return to New Zealand for
the first time in three years.

Hold up! Bow Wow is all grown up? And he’s coming to New Zealand? Yeap, it’s all true. Once a sweet little 13-year-old on our airwaves, he’s now headlining his own show called Unrated. Guess he’s found all the bitches and liquor then. Wonder if ‘Puppy Love’ will make an appearance?
Not to be confused with the Lady Gaga song or a
Mad Max movie, the hardcore metal group Edge
of Fury are joined by their band of merry men … I mean, fellow rockers … Til Death Do Us Party and Same Current, as well as Dead Dreamers and Seas Of Conflict from Hamilton.
Low Key and Hipstamatics take over your night with groovy tunes. Low Key aka Mike Haru is one of the most experienced DJs/presenters on base FM. Always searching for the smoothest, freshest, most soulful beats, Low Key also has a passion for the era of ‘90s hip-hop, funk and soul tunes.
Once part of quirky Kiwi band The Brunettes, Chelsea’s out on her own and sharing her unique sound. Her love of all things Disney from the childhood echo in her music. Her sound was once described as “the soundtrack to an old Disney movie meets Kraftwerk fronted by Enya.”
Caoimhe Macfehin, Karl Steven and Kristal G take their band on the road, playing in Masterton with an exclusive warm-up show. Comprised of Supergroove, indie-heroes Vietnam War and Drab Doo Riffs. The group, whose sound is reminiscent of ‘50s and ‘60s rhythm and blues, will be performing in a bowling alley.
Former 1980s rockers Subhumans embark on their first-ever Australasian tour featuring the 1981 line-up of Dick, Trotsky, Bruce and Phil, who recorded their debut EP Demolition War. How will these guys hold up a good 20 years down the track? I suspect well, rockers always seems to last a long time.
From the first time I heard him singing in French on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack I fell in love with him right then and there. Do you know this guy has also written, among many things, classical opera and a set of Shakespeare’s sonnets to music? What an old-fashioned babe.
While barefooted guys were impressing Rachel Hunter on NZ’s Got Talent, this new wave of gifted youngsters was preparing for tonight’s tough competition to win over the judges at the Songwriter of the Year grand final. Students will perform their original songs supported by a backing band.
Electronic musician/producer Module aka Jeramiah Ross will perform his critically acclaimed soundtrack from the award-winning video game Shatter, along with his classics. The show will mark Module’s first public hometown performance of the music he created for local game development studio, Sidhe.

I remember when I first heard Swan’s achingly slow, tortured album Skin. It was a work that slowly
stripped you down to the bones of raw emotion and fettered your soul like a pastry brush.
Songs were achingly slow and suspended like tortured souls in some medieval dungeon. The reinvention of ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ held you up against the wall and teasingly ran the blade menacingly down your thigh. It was dangerous stuff back then and still has the cruellest love songs I’ve ever heard – until now.
Like Trent Reznor compositions played at the slowest setting Claire Duncan’s music is ethereal, distant and mechanically cold, with the creeping distance of some deranged artistic spectre. Her music prowls like Jack the Ripper, ready to unleash malice on some unsuspecting victim. But unlike the gothic novels of the Victorian age Some Kind of Eden gives no time for melancholy. It doesn’t concern itself with the questions of why or where a relationship has disintegrated or fragmented. Only that it has. These are cold facts served, chilled, barely shaken, never stirred. ‘Six Feet Down’ in particular feels like all the angels have been slow burned in a smouldering furnace of early The Cure and Kraftwerk. And never turning to the betrayal of the upbeat, Duncan chooses to haunt the subconscious like Nosferatu’s monster with the most evident ‘Head to Toe’, which borrows both attitude and cleverness of St Vincent, but never slides into simple melody pop.
Clearly evident throughout is the isolation Duncan chose to surround herself in during the recording process in her expansive vacant studio space – a mile away from the cramped little Eden Terrace flat where she made most of 2010’s Spells. From time to time there are vocal nods to Bjork, especially on ‘The Drought’, which bounces off the cool, shiny concrete walls and floor with stringent, monotonous drones of electronic. Pulsating textures compliment Duncan’s slightly innocent, malleable vocals. Her concluding paean, ‘Body Black’ is the most inspirational effort. It’s almost like the lifting of a veil of some self-imposed depression and revealing that the perceived gloom was really just a low foggy haze. Whilst I wouldn’t recommend flying in this kind of weather, the underpinning drama and sense of menace on this album is still deliciously unsettling.
If your cerebellum is looking to be challenged, assaulted and soothed simultaneously, then I’d recommend
Eden. Find a nice quiet place, lie down
and take in at least two songs. Just don’t bother calling in the morning.
written By tim gruar
The talented singer-songwriter is often seen out and about on tour with famous friends, most notably Julia Deans. This time, she is heading off on her own (not totally alone though, she’s bringing a few friends). If you haven’t heard this songbird sing, now is the chance before she flies away.
The R&B star won Kiwi hearts with his debut single ‘Ghetto Flower’, before ‘Takes Me Higher’ and ‘You Got Me’ became staple club favourites. Heck, his single even gave ol’ Scribe the chance to come back out of hiding. He ran into a spot of media trouble last year, but he’s back and no doubt with a new energy.
Some of New Zealand’s top quality rock acts have come out of this competition it sees secondary school students around the country compete for the top spot. Every year, there is more skill and innovation and it blows me away what some of these talented teens can do. But save the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll for when you hit 18 kids.
Like an animation lifted from the pages of a comic book, 95bFM is going out of winter with a bang, complete with a spiky exclamation action bubbl and the cheesy sound effects. But seriously, it’s a celebration of spring (it’s spring?) featuring 1995, Suren Unka, Heart Attack Alley and more. It’ll make your ears go snap, crackle, pop and potentially bang as well.

Bringing down the fourth wall, this highly interactive performance fuses the divide between audience and actor. As the title suggests, a red chair is lit up at selected tables where audience members are sitting. These chairs serve as a performance space that the actors work with in a cabaret-style show.
Watch a seemly perfect ex-relationship crumble into a million pieces in this adaptation of Noel Coward’s genre-defining rom-com. The show takes to the original idea with destructive force, trashing apartments and relationships alike. Celebrate wit, a comedy of relationships and errors as a happily divorced couple find themselves in adjoining hotel suites.

It’s like that movie with Jackie Chan in it and how he went in a hot air balloon around the world in a time period that was more than 60 days but less than 100 and it was amazing for the 1800s. Yeah. Well, this is like that, but a musical journey around the world with the NZ Symphony Orchestra.
Everyone saw the movie Whip It, right? So by now you’ll know roller derby is a totally awesome sport that’s growing in New Zealand. Catch the final bout of the Pirate City Rollers’ 2012 season and witness two teams fighting the skin off their knees for victory and the Black Dahlia Cup. It’s a wild ride and you’re guaranteed to see a little blood, sweat and tears.
Nothing says ‘social critique’ like a wickedly clever comedy. Clybourne Park explores two time periods, 1959 and the present day, in two acts. The first centres on a nervous community anxious to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act two looks at a now predominately African-American neighborhood as it battles to hold its ground in the gentrification. Explore rich Maori history through traditional cloaks, among the most precious treasures to Maori and stunning in their artistry. Each cloak carries a powerful story of the weavers and wearers, linking past and present. There is also a live action studio to see cloak weavers in action.

As strong an argument as one could imagine for the “mumblecore” film movement spearheaded by this film’s director (Lynn Shelton) and star/producer (Mark duplass), Your
Sister’s Sister is one of the most
purely pleasurable “grown-up” films I’ve seen this year.
Working off a structured outline with no dialogue, the three lead actors here create an incredibly vivid dynamic, filled with the unmistakable rhythms of real life. But the film is so consistently funny and affecting, you’d never guess the dialogue was entirely improvised.
With this and the upcoming Safety
Not Guaranteed, Duplass is having
something of a moment and he’s fantastic here. He starts the film as a bit of a sad sack, but as his character is drawn out by his pulchritudinous co-stars, he invites ample amounts of empathy.
Emily Blunt seems like she’s in every second movie these days, but none have exploited her earthy charms better than this film. And I can say without hesitation that I fell deeply and genuinely in love with Rosemarie DeWitt while watching Your Sister’s
Sister. The actress (who took over
from Rachel Weisz at the last minute) projects unmitigated star quality here, and deserves A-list status based on this performance alone.
Most films strive for authenticity, but this film is simply dripping with it. I can’t remember the last time fictional characters seemed so real to me.
All this plus the most awesomely awkward sex scene ever committed to film makes Your Sister’s Sister an absolute must-see. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

Otago’s campus hangout since, like, forever may look like an underground dungeon, but in reality it is the coolest place for funky gigs, low-lighting and close contact with good friends and strangers. It’s fun, sweaty and great for casual mid-week beers (my favourite activity) or Saturday grooving.
A&M, situated down a secluded lane in the heart of Britomart, is renowned for its premium wine lists, champagnes and top quality cocktails served by the city’s best bartenders. With seasonal lunches and exciting tapas from early evening until very late.

Once a larger building situated on Wellington’s waterfront, Foxtail
is the capital’s hottest cocktail and champagne bar. Undergoing a
massive transformation, Foxtail has now created a funky vibe by
downsizing to smaller, more intimate lounge areas. Retaining its
1940-style glamour and décor, the restaurant boasts 180 degree views
of the harbour, the retro Games Room and the funky Brass Monkey
bar upstairs.
