Loving Future Islands (and here) and the side project of the synth player (Gerrit Welmers) – Moss of Aura, John Maus (also here) and Silk Flowers (and here). NB, the Belinda Butchers have appropriated the name of the singer from My Bloody Valentine, but it’s not her.
Tunes on the way here.
Nuggets 187 – Driving Electro 4 by Paul on Grooveshark
I read through the bands coming to Auckland for the Big Day Out and Laneways. Many have been featured in earlier blog entries. See the list above, those in blue link through to the blog entry. It’s a pretty eclectic mix of artists. I will dig out any older mixes where these bands feature. I am not blown away by the choice but there are bands I would like to see.
There is a reasonable ‘LoFi’ turnout with Cults, Girls and Yuck, a bit of shoegazey action with TPOBPAH and Mariachi el Bronx to show what punks sound like when they go back to their mariachi roots.
