Music 101 for Saturday 10 December 2011
2 - 3pm
Jane's Addiction
Three original members of L.A. alt-glam band Jane's Addiction have made it through three break-ups and reunions. Now they're back with a new offering - their fourth studio album in 26 years, The Great Escape Artist. Motor-mouth Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine interviews Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell.
Kurt Vile Vs Emily Littler
Street Chant's Emily Littler made her solo debut supporting Philadelphian Kurt Vile last week, and took the opportunity to interview her musical hero. The fellow guitar-slingers talked about their favourite New Zealand bands and the curious art of songwriting. Hear Street Chant LIVE here.
Alistair Galbraith
This Dunedin sound-explorer and instrument inventor has gone from strumming guitars in Flying Nun bands to playing entire buildings. His latest venture brings him to the Auckland waterfront where he turns an old industrial concrete silo into an instrument. Nick Atkinson finds Alistair Galbraith in the process of stringing up the huge structure… (photo left, by Angela Busby)

Gig Guide
4 - 5pm
Musical Chairs featuring Chip Matthews
Often in the background, Chip Matthews is one of the hardest working bass player in New Zealand with a long roll-call of acts he's contributed to. Chip was part of the first and arguably best line-up of Che Fu's band The Krates. Since then he's been a lodestone in bands such as Opensouls and Eru Dangerspiel as well as providing the bottom end for Anika Moa, Anna Coddington, Ladi 6 and Sola Rosa among many others. Now he hosts the breakfast show on Base FM and teaches at the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand (MAINZ). Nick Atkinson follows this dedicated musician and DJ during a busy day behind the turntables, on stage, in the studio and in front of the classroom.

Bernie Griffen and the Grifters in session
Bernie Griffen is a charitable character who has had a lot of experience in the recording and distribution business. He runs his own record label Flaming Pearl Records, was the Chairperson for Independent Music New Zealand (IMNZ), and for more than a decade was the CEO of the now defunct distribution company Global Routes. After something of a sabbatical Bernie Griffen and his band The Grifters are back doing what he loves the most - writing songs and singing 'em live.
