Music 101 for Saturday 5 March 2016

2-3pm

Tweedy
Jeff Tweedy has been known to take exception to the term ‘dad rock’, yet his latest project might be ‘dad rock’ by definition. Tweedy is the name of the new band the Wilco founder and frontman launched in 2014, with his 20-year-old son, Spencer Tweedy. Ahead of the group’s March gig at Auckland’s Powerstation, Nick Bollinger talks to Tweedy Jr.

Headquarters: Purple Pilgrims
We travel to the Tapu studio of Purple Pilgrims.

The Renderers
After leaving their Christchurch home after the 2011 quakes, The Renderers have set up shop in the Californian desert. Maryrose Crook tell Emma Smith about her relationship with this unforgiving landscape in their latest album, In the Sodium Light. 

3-4pm

RP Boo
Dance pioneer RP Boo talks about how the symbiotic relationship between dance, music and healthy battle culture has shaped Chicago footwork. 

The 1975
Led by outspoken frontman Matty Healy, the sucrose-spiked pop smarts of Mancunian indie rock quartet The 1975 have won the band an international fan base and influential supporters, from Taylor Swift to ex-Joy Division/New Order’s Peter Hook. With the release of their mouthful of a sophomore, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, Healy talks to Sam Wicks about leading from the front.

Introducing: Malcolm S.

4-5pm

HDU Live at Kings Arms
A centrepiece of Flying Nun’s roster from the mid-’90s, Dunedin psychedelic rock trio HDU regrouped in January to bring their wall of noise to Laneway 2016. Ahead of their Thunderdome performance, the band played Auckland’s Kings Arms, a set captured by RNZ Music’s Andre Upston.

Benjamin Clementine
When he was 19, Benjamin Clementine arrived in Paris with little more than a suitcase full of uncooked spaghetti. He was ‘discovered’ busking in the Paris Metro, before embarking on a creative journey that saw his debut album At Least For Now win the Mercury Prize. Trevor Reekie catches up with the young Brit to talk creative solitude and artistic vindication.
