Opensouls Live

For Auckland-livers, you can catch them either at the Zoo as part of Zoo Music next Friday the 12th March, or live at the Kings Arms on Saturday 24th April.... if you haven't seen them perform this summer then make sure you don't miss them! A perfect summer sound...

P-Money - Say Yeah ft David Dallas and Aaradhna

Mr P-Money is back with a fabulous new single featuring the delightful vocal talents of David Dallas and Aaradhna.
Its streaming on his blog, so link through and check it out here.

It will be available to purchase later this month - we'll let you know when - but in the meantime, call and request on your favourite radio station. The video will be at TV shortly too!

Tour of Dirty III !!!

Its been a little quiet here on the blog lately for a few reasons but rest assured there are still lots of goings on... the first being the third annual Tour Of Dirty!

Concord Dawn, Bulletproof, Cern, Tiki, PNC, David Dallas and Opensouls (who join the party for their first year) play Palmerston North on Saturday and Auckland Unitec on Friday 5th March.
Its always a fabulous event and this year again is part of Orientation, so cheap for students and just a little more for general admission in Auckland, and free for Palmy students in the Square.

Auckland tickets available here

The Taite Music Prize

Its a brand new prize, awarding a cash prize to the artist believed most worthy of it according to an album's artistic merit, rather than radio play or sales. (Along the same lines as the Mercury Prize in the UK.)

Dylan Taite, if you didn't know him, was one of NZ's most respected music journalists. You can read about him here.

The five finalists were announced last night and we are thrilled that David Dallas's Album 'Something Awesome' is one of them. The others are The Checks 'Alice By The Moon', Keretta's 'Vilayer', Shapeshifter with 'The System Is A Vampire', and Lawrence Of Arabia with 'Chant Darling'.
More info about the prize can be found here, and best of luck to all the finalists. Its great to see NZ music acknowledging such artists.

Its the Reverend....
