If you’re interested in writing music, and the science of it, I cannot recommend this video highly enough – Cymatics by Nigel Stanford, directed by Shahir Daud.
Everything owes it’s existence solely and completely to sound – Peter Guy Manners

Tune in tomorrow night for a supermoon show – featuring Silver Scrolls winners, some sophisticated jazz, and the usual bouts of stupendous silliness.
As someone, somewhere once said:
Perhaps it’ll be quiet,
Perhaps it’ll be loud,
Perhaps there’ll be just one listener,
Mayhap there’ll be a crowdBut come what will and be what may
Kiwi music will be heard,
So allay your fears and treat your ears
From eight till nine We’nsday
Oh, and note the beat repeat on Fridays will be an hour later than usual (1pm) for the next couple due to the Nelson Arts festival programme …
Leave a CommentKentucky Fried Children hail from Christchurch and play blues with a hint of psychedelia… This track is Deep South.
I kind of like the sound. Check them out on Bandcamp, or in the iTunes store, or dare I say it, live. They’re playing with Von Voin Strum this weekend. Details on facebook.
Leave a CommentIf you’re in Canada, and you could use someone to treat you to some Kiwi music, check out The Response. They’ve been in your neck of the woods for a while now.
Their shows are listed on their website.

The third of the three-volume set You’re not invited this Wednesday night includes one of my favourite recent tracks, The Utopians are Just Out Boozing, by The Bilders. There’s a sample below.
Bill Direen is so prolific with the Bilders and as a writer that it’s hard to know where to start. A future show will be just for him I think, but for now, set your alarm clock for 8.00pm on Wednesday night and point your browser at http://freshfm.net.
As well as the boozing utopians, there will also be everything you need for a party – Transistors, the Opposite Sex, some field recordings of animal noises, and a weird talkback radio / Sonny Bill Williams / Dire Straits mashdown.
Tune in!

Free download of show 39 of beat.co.nz. Feature album was You’re Not Invited – a three-volume collection of alternative music from 2010-2015. It’s where radio punks are now …
Leave a CommentWill be the next beat.co.nz. More from You’re not Invited, Some children’s music, and Jordan Reyne. Tune in http://freshfm.net
Leave a CommentLas Tetas were another of the pleasingly raucous bands I found on the compilation album You’re not Invited. It’s their track that gives the retrospective it’s name. The lyrics say it all in this short, bitter blast:
You’re not invited. You know who you are. You’re not invited.
Apparently there is a trend overseas to send people you’re not invited cards, for weddings and parties and that, just so everyone’s clear. Weird world.
Leave a CommentMr Biscuits are from Dunedin, but reject any ties to the Dunedin sound …
“Bikini Kill on meth” is what you’d call Mr. Biscuits if condescending bullshit was your bag – instead, it’s not, and Mr. Biscuits will be the only bag you’ll need for a while.
Good sound, angular guitar, fast tempo, what’s not to like about Mr Biscuits?
