That's just awful. The MSM vacuum in this country just grew a little more.

That said, it was always a forlorn hope that a rag like the NZ Herald would run with something like Volume for any extended period

It is great!

how long a string does one have to paint to link a kiwi to a US number one?

My granny knew this chap who painted houses, he in turn.... and then the band got a number one the in USA

2012-04-10T09:50:21.239+12:00

Pretty ironic that they're focussing on Australia; the policy ten years ago when I was assisting Rhian Sheehan, Module, Sola Rosa, SJD, Pitch Black, Minuit, The Upbeats and other NZ acts in Australia and was firmly told not to bother getting the artists to apply for NZOA funding as Australia was considered an easy market and part of any bands de riguer plan of establishing themselves was to

Likewise. Auckland recording engineers (producers) such as Wahanui, John Hawkins, Steve Kennedy, Doug Rogers and Glyn Tucker Jnr and there are others are an integral part of the recording and live mixing end of the music story, whose stories are largely absent at the moment from the record. Peter Dawkins alone would make a brilliant book.

Wynyard produced a stunning series of singles

Hi Andrew, thanks for the comment. Agree with you re Roger running down an era to raise up another, was thinking that when I was reading it while digitising and tweaking the text.You mention some good sound engineers round then -I'd love to read the story of Whahanui Wynyard, his name pops up a lot. I love the album he did in OZ with a band of expat kiwis named Rocco

It's customary for writers to have a bit of spout about their recently released work and for music "journalists" to write that up, and good on Roger for doing it, but the sad fact is Hostage To The Beat is deeply flawed. Auckland musicians from the era were quick in saying so. And as for running down an era (which Watkins has done no research on) to raise up another, that's a
