NZ holds a music month every May. What this means is that the music industry is pushed extra hard for that month. Which is great because the news has music stories every night. There's loads of gigs going off and kids want to be rockstars. Why don't they do this in the UK? Julie and I appeared on C4 last week which is  a free to air music channel in NZ. We were talking about the NZ CD we are putting together for Rocksound magazine in the UK. It was great fun and we will be back on there again once the CD is finished so if you are in NZ watch this space.....

  We had vip passes for Shihad's free gig in Auckland last week and Sam really enjoyed himself rocking away with the other 7000 people who turned up in the pouring rain ! It seems we are in Auckland a hell of a lot since moving to Hamilton. There's always a gig to go to or someone to meet. We now manage a band from Auckland as well called Nova Echo www.novaecho.com and should be bringing them over to the Uk next year.

  We will be bringing a couple of UK bands over to NZ later this year as well (if all goes to plan) THORIA and FUME are keen to get over so we'll be sorting out an NZ tour for them. anyhow got to go C4 are just about to broadcast the C4 gig...... NZ ROCKS......
