Kiwi music III

Here comes my third installment on the theme "Kiwi music". It goes back to one of the bands referred to in My first blog in this series. Because I liked Julia Dean's new single  I was curious to hear some examples of the band "Fur patrol's" music. I have included two videos the first being of a song called "Lydia" and the second their single called "Precious"

Kiwi music

I have decided to go on a little trip of discovery and I thought I might as well let everyone join me on the ride.

I have decided to explore kiwi music and in the coming weeks I will attempt to acquaint myself with New Zealand bands. I am not going to analyse or judge them in anyway as that is not my goal.. I just want to know what is out there.

The only restrictions being that they are from New Zealand and that I am able to share with you their music in some shape or form.

So here is my second blog in the "series". The first being ...here...

Anyway the artist is known as "Rapture Ruckus" and if you enjoyed the music from the video bellow and would like to learn more about the artist you can visit his MySpace page




And if you are wondering... No I haven't found religion... he was just one of the first artists that came up in my search... and as I said I am not going to analyse or judge.

That being said I would of course welcome any suggestions you might have for groups that you think should be represented/ displayed here and/ or any opinions you might have about the music.

Some music from Home

I was sorry to hear that kiwi musician Pauly Fuemana had passed away. He was a member of a band called OMC and is probably best known for the song.. "How Bizarre"  which can be seen below...



It is one of those songs that brings back memories of cruising on a hot summer day in you car with the windows down... you know, in the days before air conditioning.... It creates a certain feeling of longing back to those days... especially perhaps now when its -10 out.


On the subject of kiwi music.. while checking out some blogs from my old home town Wellington I came across the video which can be seen bellow. It is of a new single from a member of the band Fur Patrol.
Her name is Julia Deans and the song is called "a new dialogue"... enjoy....
