What I want to know is, where the bloody hell is the second Street Chant album ? it was supposed to've been out ages ago.

Ms Marshall also has the immense good taste to cover Peter Jefferies and Robbie Muir's 'Fate Of The Human Carbine' single. :)

Glenn, they were definitely in Gisborne for Millenium Eve, as I recall seeing the posters around town...and shuddering. Though given the circumstances, it's entirely feasible they also in Whangamata, too.

Satellite Spies played at the Sandown Hotel, Gisborne, on New Year's Eve, 1999. Gisborne's population is normally 32,000 or so. On Millennium Eve, it swelled to over 40,000.
And how many turned up to see Satellite Spies bring in 2000, you ask ?Twelve, I'm told. Dear oh bloody dear.

I am obliged to presume that Counties-Manukau Police only send me me huge, uncompressed pictures of illicit drugs because they want me to use them.
Maybe they were trying to give you a heads-up...

Wow, cool pics. So that's what the Frontiersmen building looks like. What a dinky little building !

I saw Jed Town solo about three months ago, he was in really good form. Wore a balaclava for the first few songs, which I suppose was his way of showing support to Pussy Riot.

I remember you telling us about crossing paths with Wilson before, Russell. Rather you than me.
The baying mob and Lhaws egging them on is a classic example of more heat than light being shed on the issue.
I suspect that, as pointed out in the Sunday Star Times, will indeed be the author of his own downfall through quickly breaking one / some of his bail conditions. He'll be watched like an eagle, too.
I just hope that no one gets hurt if he does break any conditions.

Richard Langston being one of the few exceptions.

Regarding the above-mentioned John Peel, apparently when he was in Auckland he popped in to Real Groovy and started browsing around. He asked some young woman staff member for help and was given a snide, why-should-I-help you type reply, because, of course, there's no way a 70-year-old English tourist would know anything about music, is there ?
Somewhat baffled at his dismissal, Mr Ravenscroft then politely left the shop, walked around the corner to Gary Steel's shop Beautiful Music on K Rd. Where, of course, Gary, or whoever was on duty, were a little more clued up as to who this customer actually was...so they treated him with the respect he deserved and thus it was Mr Ravenscroft spent his dosh there and not at Groovy.
