Music 101 for Saturday 20 October 2012
2-3pm
Critics Choice Award 2012
The annual NZ Music Awards live show-down between local up-and-comers. This year Beach Pigs, Watercolours and Loui the ZU take to the stage to determine who can best impress a cross section of local music critics. We’ll take you there.
Access All Areas: AudioCulture
Conceptualist and producer Simon Grigg describes plans for a new digital repository of NZ music and ephemera. AudioCulture is intended to collect the hits and myths of NZ music, connecting people, recordings, images, places, scenes and record labels from the early twentieth century to now, and into the future.
New Way Home
The Auckland metal band take us through the rigorous training regime for the debut album Mirrors.
3-4pm
The Sampler: Hello Sailor
Nick Bollinger speaks with Harry Lyon and Dave McArtney about Under a Surrey Crescent Moon, their first album of new songs in 18 years.
Billy Bragg in session
During the UK troubadour’s seventh New Zealand visit this past week he recorded an off-the-cuff, acoustic studio session. From Bragg’s current live set we’ll hear some of Woody Guthrie’s unused lyrics set to music; as well as a rarely-heard rendition of a 1971 song by The Faces.
Martha Wainwright
The new album Come Home To Mama was recorded at Sean Lennon’s home studio with members of Wilco, The Dirty Three, and Martha Wainwright’s most important collaborator, producer Yuka C. Honda of Cibo Matto.
4-5pm
Live: The Mutton Birds
The original line-up of The Mutton Birds reunited after 10 years and performed this set at the Kings Arms Tavern in Auckland in February 2012.
Radio New Zealand captured the set, and today you can hear songs such as: ‘Envy Of Angels’, ‘Dominion Road’, ‘Queen’s English’ and ‘Anchor Me’.
Formed by respected songwriter Don McGlashan (ex. Blam Blam Blam and The Front Lawn) in 1991, The Mutton Birds released two albums and achieved both critical and popular success in NZ before relocating to the UK in 1995, where they also built a loyal following, despite – or perhaps because of? - the overtly New Zealand flavour of much of the repertoire.
With another two critically acclaimed albums and a growing live reputation in Europe some band members felt the need to return home, and the Mutton Birds disbanded in 1999. They played together again in 2002, then not until these shows in 2012.
The Sampler: Beachwood Sparks, Sera Cahoone
Nick Bollinger takes a listen to two new rustic, retro albums The Tarnished Gold and Deer Creek Canyon.
