LCD Soundsystem’s jaunty new album This Is Happening boasts incredibly catchy hooks, lyrics that are intelligent but not loaded with clichés and beats that have you playing the air drums like you’re the next Brian Chase.
The hazy Blue & Gold is the first taste from Dear Time’s Waste upcoming debut album, which is due out in September this year. The band a.k.a. Claire Duncan (pictured) and whoever seems to fall into her changing line-up, released her debut EP, Room To Rent, a year ago before […]
After having to cancel his New Zealand tour in February due to his mother, renowned folk-singer Kate McGarrigle, passing away, Rufus Wainwright has announced that he will return to New Zealand in October. Wainwright will play three shows in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland, with tickets going on sale June 16. […]
So it turns out that Bandicoot’s show on Saturday night at Whammy Bar with The Crackhouse 5 and Wilberforces, turned out to be their last one. They announced it on stage that night and stated in a post on their labels website, “Hello. We have split. Nothing lasts forever. Regards […]
It was announced last week that Die! Die! Die! has at long last signed to the freshly incarnated Flying Nun records, a deal which was hinted at in a recent Real Groove feature story, but was admitted to be still up in the air. Now it’s official, and the band […]

Here’s some bad news, especially for those of you out there trying to sell your music. Billboard reports that in the US, album sales have reached the lowest sales numbers since Soundscan began to compile data in 1994. As far as numbers go, 4,984,000 albums were sold in the week […]
In regards to awards, it may not have been the best start to the week, but it definitely hasn’t ended badly. The MySpace NZ Choice Awards are decided by fans voting online, but thankfully skip any sort of embarrassing show (or embarrassing acceptance speeches) that plagued the Juice awards on […]
Common and Kid Capri’s tour, which got us hyped when it was announced (until we realised we probably couldn’t afford the $90 ticket) has been postponed until September. The tour was originally announced as two shows at the Powerstation before being cut down to one on June 16 and the […]
