Jakob - Sines
Hawkes Bay's Jakob have a lot of peaks and troughs - both in their sound, and their career as a band. Their first new album in eight years, Sines, arrives this week, and it's been a journey fraught with setbacks, but also dotted with high points, such as being handpicked to support Tool in Australasia. Jakob join Kirsten Johnstone to talk it over.

Myele Manzanza Tour Diary
When world renowned Detroit DJ and producer Theo Parrish led a live band across an expansive European tour for the first time in a decade, he assembled a collective of musicians and dancers from around the globe. When Myele Manzanza got the summons to come all the way from New Zealand to play drums, he knew it was a chance of a lifetime. Manzanza documents his travels in this tour diary.

The Sampler: Country Funk II
Nick Bollinger reviews a collection of funky late 60s - early 70s country music from the likes of Kenny Rogers, Townes Van Zandt, and Dolly Parton.

Ha the Unclear
Ha the Unclear's Michael Cathro has overseen a long migration with his project - from Dunedin where he started the band under a different name, to Cork, Ireland and finally to Auckland. Former flatmate Anthonie Tonnon talks to Cathro about a forgotten scene in Dunedin, and the character-focused writing on the new album, Bacterium, Look at Your Motor Go.
