Tiger Tones – one of the most signifigant bands in CHCH since Shocking Pinks is doing the pilgrimage to AK/NZ. Who can blame them, AK is a rad city. Pikachunes is also making the move too. Sadness all round 🙁
So anyways, this Friday at Double Happy is your second to last chance to see them jam before their mighty trek. I’ll also be spinning some tunes at the start of the night. Come on down and hang yo. It’s $10 on the door and tunes start at 10pm. To get you in the mood here is their latest single ‘short thing’
Man there’s been heaps happening on Starlifter.TV over the past 6 months. One of the parts of the website that has been just ticking over in the background is the Gig Guide, which can be found here: http://Starlifter.TV/gigguide. Every week I pick around 10 gigs throughout New Zealand (and sometimes around the world) that get the Starlifter.TV stamp of approval and stick them there. If you would like your gig or event considered for the Starlifter.TV Gig Guide upload it to Mukuna.co.nz if it’s in NZ or if it’s in another part of the world simply email it to: drh (at) starlifter.tv
And some even more exciting news is that as of yesterday I have optimised Starlifter.TV for mobile devices. What this means is that when you visit Starlifter.TV on your iPhone, iPod Touch, mobile device or mobile phone, the page should load uber fast and not use up heaps of data. This is particularly helpful when you’re downtown wherever and looking for something to do, you can just plug Starlifter.TV/gigguide into your device and get the latest on what’s happening, CHOICE!
Hey you! Thanks so very much to everyone who came down and partied with us at Goodbye Blue Monday (GBM) on Saturday night. GBM was packed, the crowd was heaving and the Mixtape Crew laid down the most rockin’, floor stomping electro and retro pop around town. A huge thank-you to Indie Slut, Missy G, Apex Beat, and Goodbye Blue Monday for your choice moistness! There’s sure to be more parties in 2010 so keep your ear to the net yo!
Mixtape Connection 2009Mixtape Connection Vol. 1 - July 2005
Hey yo!
Woah! I can’t believes it but we’re throwing another Mixtape Connection party! For those who don’t know, the Mixtape Connection was a monthly Indie-Rock, Electro, whatever, Club night that was held at Capitol Bar on Hereford Street throughout 2005 and 2006. The line-up at the first party was Missy G from RDU’s Girlschool, Richard from Guitar Media (you can now find him online at Rose Quartz) and myself from the Mixtape Sessions, known then as Mr Hitchcock (I had not yet gained my PhD in Scientology). Indie Slut joined the crew at gig 2 and became a resident after Richard moved to Australia in Dec 05. Back in the day it was a fully functional indie death star, complete with cassette mixtapes, zines, CDs, t-shirts, badges, atari games on flatscreen, music videos and stamps. For some old photos from the December 05 party visit here. It was pretty cool while it lasted and I know that all who were involved miss it heaps. So anyways, I bumped into Missy G at Goodbye Blue Monday (GBM) sometime last month and she suggested that we throw another party and do it there! What a grand idea! All of us hang out and DJ there all the time these days so why not!
So that’s the buzz. I really hope that you can make it to the party and come hang with us. Our tunes may have changed a bit since ’05 but the buzz will be just as solid.
Peace,
Dr H
