This may be stating the bleeding obvious, but it’s important to reiterate the sentiments that bought this station into fruition in the first place.
That is to promote Kiwi bands, largely ignored by mainstream media, home & abroad.
Internet Radio allows me to promote New Zealand Alternative Music to a worldwide audience.
It also offers a platform to establish a ‘live music museum’ - preserving music memories ,whilst at the same time promoting new acts.
I am always on the hunt for ‘lost gems’.
Some obscure limited edition 7” single that has been bought to light after residing in some fans book-shelf for 20 years & re-born by digitisation.
A compilation cassette comprising long dead regional bands.
Despite the efforts of home-grown labels like Failsafe (Rob for knighthood?) sadly much of New Zealand’s output alternative music scene 1980-2000 will never be re-released and largely exists only as a limited release piece of vinyl.
Please (makes sound like small puppy begging) if you can digitise/mp3 any music by the following bands I’d appreciate it.
Hey, I can hardly waltz into a record-shop and order it, can I? So I don’t feel I’m ripping the artists off by bludging in such an open blaise fashion.
WANTED! (in no particular order)
*Victor Dimisich Band* *Bressa Creeting Cake* *Bike*
*Dribbling Darts Of Love* *Dead Famous People* *Gerling*
*Ape Management* *Axel Grinders* *Death Ray Café*
*Milton Stowaways* *Murder Inc* *Marie & The Atom*
Footnote; Some of these artists appear on compilations of various kinds I have accumulated. I’m after their individual output if at all poss.
