Ladyhawke in Session
Ladyhawke’s Pip Brown recently announced the release of her new album Wild Things, due to drop in June and spearheaded by first single, ‘A Love Song’. Ladyhawke plays the inaugural Auckland City Limits festival on Saturday – ahead of her main stage slot, Pip joins us in studio to perform an acoustic version of the track.

Soundway's Miles Cleret
Miles Cleret, founder of the Soundway label, which has introduced western audiences to rare gems from around the globe joins Emma Smith for a dig through his record bag.
Primal Scream
Primal Scream’s genre-bending LP Screamadelica impacted John Campbell’s musical world when it was released in 1991, but the Checkpoint host never got a chance to see the psychedelic Scotsmen in concert. With the release of Primal Scream’s eleventh studio album, Chaosmosis, he talks to the band’s enigmatic leader, Bobby Gillespie.

Mermaidens
Wellington trio Mermaidens - guitarist and vocalist Gussie Larkin, bassist and vocalist Lily West and drummer Abe Hollingsworth - this week released their debut album Undergrowth. Inspired by the music of PJ Harvey and Patti Smith, Warpaint, The Mint Chicks and So So Modern, it's an album of soaring melodies and crushing discordance. Lily and Gussie joined Emma to get under the hood of this moody new release.
Pasifika 2016
The 24th Pasifika festival returned to Auckland’s Western Springs on the weekend, with tens of thousands of people treated to the vibrancy of Pacific Islands’ music and dance, plus a mean feed. Mani Dunlop wanders through the islands to korero with performers and chatty Niuean aunties, while keeping her puku full too.

Carnivorous Plant Society live at Wine Cellar, Auckland
Taking inspiration from the likes of Ennio Morricone and David Lynch, jazz adventurers Carnivorous Plant Society brought these widescreen influences to bear on a recent set at Auckland's Wine Cellar. RNZ Music’s Andre Upston was there to commit the performance from the Finn Scholes-led outfit to tape.
