The Sampler: Giant Sand
Howe Gelb's long-running and prolific group Giant Sand has an expanded line-up, and even a children's chorus, for Tuscon: A Country Rock Opera, their latest album. Nick Bollinger takes a listen.
3 - 4pm
Savage
When Savage, the gruffest voice of Deceptikonz, released 'Swing' back in 2005, it introduced him as a pop artist, and clocked up over 1,500,000 sales in the United States. On his new album Mayhem & Miracles, Savage continues to work the pop angles, while reflecting upon his upbringing in the streets of Manurewa, South Auckland.
Hear Savage with Sam Wicks in Samoa here.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
This eight piece band of horn playing brothers last charmed local audiences at WOMAD 2010. They return this month for shows in Auckland and Wellington. Saiph Graves, a.k.a. Cid, talks about the band's new collaboration with their father Kelan Phil Cohran, who played trumpet in Sun Ra's Arkestra and handed his numerous sons their brass instruments as they started school.
Lil Band O Gold
Louisiana swamp-pop/cajun supergroup Lil Band O Gold are heading back this way next week. Bandleader CC Adcock talks about their new Fats Domino tribute album, and working with Robert Plant.
4 - 5pm
Columbus Discovers America
Ray Columbus' achievements in Australia and New Zealand are well documented, but his brief venture into the wild, psychedelicized world of San Francisco in the 1960s resulted in some of Ray's most interesting, experimental and thrilling music- producing a record that is now considered a garage rock classic.
Columbus Discovers America follows Ray as he arrives in San Francisco dressed in full mod regalia - just as the Summer Of Love was about to celebrate the hippie dream.
The Sampler: Kelly Hogan
Known for her work as a backup singer with Neko Case, Jacob Dylan and Mavis Staples, Kelly Hogan has released her own album of songs written by a slew of indie songwriters, including Andrew Bird, Stephen Merritt (Magnetic Fields) Vic Chestnutt, and M Ward, with an impressive, heavy hitting band.
