Reviews icon. Salmonella Dub: Freak Controller - 25 November, Album Review
Coming within weeks of Shapeshifter's too-good-it-can’t-be-legal album, is another new release from a modern kiwi legend – Salmonella Dub’s Freak Controller. I bring up the shifty-ones because (Once again) there seems to be more than a flash of D n' B to the Salmonella’s latest work - not too mention some smokin' hot dub-step.   Touches ...

Reviews icon. Fat Freddy's Drop - 31 October, The Front Room
The city was awash with an influx of costumed weirdness for Halloween.  As I made my way towards Mt Vic’s former James Cabaret – now the Front Room – I fought a steady stream of characters including Pixar’s Incredibles, jandal wearing Spidermen (Must have been on holiday), barefoot little mermaids (Ditto) and sexy stewardesses, all heading ...

Reviews icon. Fat Freddys Drop: Dr Boondigga & the Big BW - Album Review
With Dr Boondigga & the Big BW it’s hard to avoid the old adage. If you like them, you’ll like this.  If you don’t, it probably won’t change your mind.   The most regular criticism heard about Fat Freddy’s Drop is that they can seem highly repetitive.  This isn’t helped by their music being played everywhere, with alot ...

Reviews icon. Kora Kora Kora - Album Review
Talk about a trip.  The Kora boys have been cut and pasted to such an extent as to be almost unrecognisable from their winning formula. Not that this is a bad thing mind you.  An industrial re-mix by electro whiz-kids Cabaret Voltaire, brings out another dimension to the Kora lads original works.  The rock elements are ...

Features icon. Q & A with Fat Freddies Key Man
Fat Freddies Drop's keyboard player and in-house chef, Dobie Blaze, sure does love his food.  And music critic Simon Sweetman apparently.  The smooth-fingered key-man gave texture a few minutes of his time, to answer such questions as ''Will we ever see a Shihad/Fat Freddies Drop double bill?''  Read on to ...

Reviews icon. One Love 2009 - 6 February, Hataitai Velodrome
Most people either love or hate 7’s weekend.  I’m a little meh about the whole thing, but at least I could look forward to one great party come this very messy time of year – Radio Active’s One Love shin-dig at the Haitaitai Velodrome. Waitangi Day dawned slightly overcast in good old Wellytown.  My first port of call was a friend’s ...

Reviews icon. Sheba: Sheba Williams - Album review
Sheba Williams has become a bit of a Wellington celebrity.  She is well respected for her live shows, and knows how to place the crowd in her palm with just a saucy look or sway of the hips.   Now our very own soul/funk/electronic/jazz diva has made a move for worldwide domination, with the release of her debut album, titled (of ...
