Music 101 for Saturday 27 December 2014

12-1pm

12.12pm Summer Music Venues
Every summer, go-to live music destinations shift from the main centres to the provinces, as music fans empty out of the cities and into venues like Coroglen Tavern, Mussel Inn, Mangawhai Tavern and Riwaka Tavern. Melody Thomas talks to the owner-operators behind these high season hotspots about how their venues come into their own over the summer months.

12.35pm The Datsuns - Summer Tour
Cambridge sons The Datsuns are back in town for the summer, kicking out the jams across a series of headlining shows before they ally with Shihad, I Am Giant and Cairo Knife Fight for their rock-fueled summer run. Street Chant singer/guitarist turned Music 101 correspondent Emily Littler checks in with The Datsuns’ Dolf de Borst before the band put rubber to the road.

12:45pm Far-fetch with Sam Scott
A game of fetch where Sam Scott (The Phoenix Foundation, Bunnies on Ponies) is given an obscure musical genre and a week to return with relevant examples and entertaining anecdotes. This week, he gets his booty grinding to some Miami Bass.

1-2pm

1:10pm Best Live Performances of 2014
Music 101 contributors Marty Duda, Martyn Pepperell and Elle Hunt join Melody Thomas to discuss some of the most memorable moments in live music this year.

1.40pm Latinaotearoa In Session

2-3pm

2.04 A History of Student Radio Part One
A four-part journey through 45 years of student radio - the stars and bands who got their breaks, the politics, the music, the piracy and the ‘No. 8 wire’, sink or swim mentality.
In Part One: From the humble home-made AM transmitters, illegally manned by tech-nerds on islands around Auckland for limited weeks of the university term, campus radio stations rapidly evolved into a beacon for music-lovers, on-air talkers and people who never finished their degrees.  We talk to some of characters who set the template for student radio in New Zealand, breaking rules, records, and radio transmitters.
