Plastic Explosives“Over the last few weeks I have been returning again and again to a stunningly good EP, The Wolves, from Wellington band Secret Knives. This is one of my favourite NZ releases of the year†Counting the Beat“check these guys out.†We are Dreamers“Secret Knives are super duper fantastic.

Check it.madbeef presents BASEMENT CUTSFriday May 16th Refuel DunedinBasement Cuts welcomes A Low Hum legend and New Zealand's greatest party starter Disasteradio to wrap up the first half of 2008's Basement Cuts calendar. Established in the year of our lord 2007, Mad Beef's Basement Cuts parties are about playing sweet tunes to sweet people. No drunken kids getting angry on worming medication here! With DJs as diverse as Manuel Bundy, O.G and Soane making their way down in the past year or so, Disasteradio is the first FULLY LIVE dance experience we've brought to the bunker that is Refuel. Can it get any better than balls-out eighties synth-pop, garage rock covers and head-banging electro greatness?ME?Well…I’m currently in Vancouver hiding out at Sallys flat. Her landlord doesn’t want me here, but I can’t afford to go elsewhere, haha, so I’ve been confined to her room for the past three weeks. Its been good…means I’ve actually got some editing done. Over the past couple of weekends we’ve been on a few roadtrips… over the Rockies! Up to Whistler, Vancouver Island etc… some good times on the cheap. I am starting a blog with a few tales of my journey, interlaced with my thoughts on camp ’08 and ’09 and the main reason I’m here…. The Over the Atlantic tour! The first show kicks off on April 16th…and we got heaps lined up, I’m looking really forward to seeing so much of the US and Europe, its gonna be fun!!Anyway…if you wanna check out my ramblings/photos from my travels, just click on “blog†on the alowhum.com website from April 14th.Chur.This typing is really loud and Sally’s landlord might hear…so I better go.See you soon
