Music 101 for Saturday 14 January 2012
12 - 1pm
Tune-Yards
One of the most exciting acts to emerge last year was Tune-Yards - the musical outlet for Merril Garbus (right) . She plays one show this week in Auckland, with her bassist and two saxophonists, and stops by for a chat and a tune.
Adventures in Musicland: Otara - The Music of the Markets
From the sounds of the Islands, to fledgling hip hop and reggae labels, to bootleg CDs of all stripes sold straight out of car boots, South Auckland's Otara Markets is a hive of musical activity. Music reporter Sam Wicks rolls through the neighbourhood on a guided tour of a grassroots operation that has germinated businesses like Urban Pacifika and Dawnraid Entertainment, and launched artists like Jamoa Jam, Tha Feelstyle and Young Sid.
1 - 2pm
Panel: NZoA - Making Tracks
A year on from the Caddick Report - which New Zealand on Air (NZoA) commissioned to review its music-related activities - and 6-months into 'Making Tracks' - the revised scheme the Govt funding body set up in response to that report, to support getting more New Zealand music on air... how is it working so far? Joining Music 101 host Kirsten Johnstone to talk it over are David Riddler from NZoA, Manu Taylor (station manager of bFM Auckland, with a background in record labels and retail) and Chris Prowse, a musician and former CEO of NZoA.
Session: Batucada Sound Machine
While they don't play in New Zealand all that often, this multicultural 10 piece Auckland band have spent the last few years on festival circuits throughout Europe. They're just about to release a new album, and squeeze into our studio to play some new songs. (Members pictured left - right, top to bottom - James Hughes and Filipe Gomez, Ritchie Setford, and Finn Scholes)
2 - 3pm
Nirvana - Nevermind Part 1 of 2
Twenty years after the release of Nirvana's break-through album Nevermind, the remaining band members Dave Grohl and Kirst Novoselic, along with producer Butch Vig reminisce about the album, and their pal the late Kurt Cobain. They are joined by a live studio audience for a rare Q&A session, hosted by the Daily Show's Jon Stewart.
Fleet Foxes
Folk choristers Fleet Foxes are in NZ this weekend, we'll catch up with the Seattle natives before their shows.
Kirsten with Robin Pecknold
3 - 4pm
Live: Avalanche City
It's been quite a year for Dave Baxter and his Avalanche City pseudonym. His first song 'Love Love Love' becoming New Zealand's fastest selling digital single, while the folk-infused pop sounds of his debut album Our New Life Above the Ground found favour with fans and critics alike. Assembling an array of merry minstrels wielding accordions, mandolins and glockenspiels, Avalanche City played a series of international showcases including dates in Los Angeles, New York and London. We catch them on their return at The Studio on Auckland's K'Rd.
4 - 5pm
MixTape: James Moss of Jayrem Records
We invite musical guests to compile a C60, and talk us through the selections. Jayrem Records celebrated 35 years of releasing New Zealand bands and musicians in 2011, making it one of our longest-lived labels. It's been driven by the passion of one man - James Moss - who began releasing local Wellington acts on vinyl in 1975, and over time has developed an eclectic repertoire including Maori, reggae, female singer/songwriters, metal, punk, instrumental, country, jazz/blues, poetry and children's music - making a significant contribution to New Zealand's music culture. James is packing up the vinyl and CDs and moving lock, stock and barrel to the United Kingdom this year. But first he chooses some of his favourite tunes, and tells us the stories behind them.
