Music 101 for Saturday 9 April 2016
2-3pm
Street Chant
In a revealing essay penned for The Pantograph Punch last September, Street Chant’s Emily Littler documented the litany of difficulties she faced while trying to complete the band’s much delayed second LP: “Writers’ block, poor band dynamics, substance abuse problems... you name it.” With the release of Hauora, Littler and bandmate Billie Rogers talk us through the album’s laboured delivery.
Parquet Courts
Parquet Courts have built their reputation on dry wit, wiry guitar tones and a vocal performance that goes from lethargic to lethal with the flick of a switch. With their latest release Human Performance out this week, singer and guitarist Andrew Savage opens up about the writing process, police brutality and the latest New Zealand signing to his record label.
3-4pm
Deradoorian
Former Dirty Projectors' bassist Angel Deradoorian speaks to Shaun D. Wilson about her new solo incarnation, Deradoorian, ahead of her shows in NZ next week.
Live: Miloux
Auckland jazz trained singer and beat-maker Rebecca Melrose, a.k.a. Miloux has just released her debut EP - she plays a couple of those songs live in the studio.
4-5pm
The Secret Life of Lighting Techs
Your favourite concert probably wouldn’t have had the impact it did without the tireless work of these unsung heroes – lighting technicians. On this week’s Secret Life, Tony Stamp delves into the world of lighting, talking to techs, designers and video operators, and discovers an industry full of people willing to go the extra mile to practice this large-scale art form.
Deftones
Three albums into his tenure as Deftones’ bassist, New York-based musician Sergio Vega remains the new guy in the Sacramento alt-metal outfit. With the release of Deftones’ eighth studio LP Gore, Vega explains the geographical challenges presented by their bi-coastal line-up.
