an official designation as the “edgy and creative” zone.
What, no 'precincts'?
How come only Chchch gets 'precincts' forced upon it?

I had to find out about the What we do in the shadows TV spin off from The Independent!

Talk about taking the scenic route...I wonder if Guillermo del Toro and Mike Mignola are involved - sounds a lot like the Hellboy and B.P.R.D. comic series.

BTW, Cardigan Bay…
they’re a tight knit band…
more Fair Isle than feral.

Or is that too harsh?
Simon Sweetman weighs in as well - http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/84820386/simon-sweetman-the-death-of-the-silver-scroll
I have to say that when I first heard the 'Mars' song I immediately thought of another band with a kiwi connection (the O'Doherty brothers), from last century - back before auto-tuning vocals was a 'thing'...
crossed with Maria Muldaur
but I guess I'm just showing my age...I liked that Street Chant song
But it just felt like they were channelling Minisnap ...

Something for your Chchch gig diaries…
On the back of Blair Parkes’ excellent latest album – a kick-ass band has formed and will be debuting in Sumner on the same night as Bill Direen is playing in town (you could probably do both!), and then they are playing again at the Darkroom on Thursday the 20th.Make sure you get along so you can say you saw their early gigs, before they take over the world!!

Hard News: Friday Music: After the…, in reply to Ken Double,
I've pondered why it is that classical music is...
I have to say I really enjoyed all 3 new 'classical' pieces on offer at the APRA Silver Scrolls - and the version of 'Rain Phase' played live.
Also great to see Kenneth (Ken) Young still doing good stuff - he was at Cashmere High School at the same time as me, and I remember a fun piece he wrote then with a typewriter as accompaniment... -
