Stoods

I saw these guys a few weeks back for the first time. They are really good! Just wondering if anyone else out there is following what these guys are up to. They apparently have a new single coming out, which I'm looking forward to. And a wicked website too.

I've only seen them once but they have a great future. Anyone else like them?

Forums: NZ Music,

yeah.. love them to bits :) Portrait is the single.. they made a video for it.. and it was produced by James Reid. First saw them live here in Auckland back in June last year and will not miss a show cos they're so damn good. Has anyone seen the nominations for the tuis?? Cos I would so have Phil in the most promising vocalist category :)

Website is pretty damn nice as well.

I've seen them, heard them, visited the web site.
what the fuck are they thinking?
what is with their hair.
a new exponenent of modern New Zealand crap music.
Having one feelers is more than enough,thankyou.
pat on the back to Duncan Greives who got it so right.

Duncan Greives is a fuck nuts.

Can't believe how someone can be so negative about Augustino. Okay, so Augustino and Stoods they haven't reinvented the wheel, but does this guy have anything positive to say about ANY NZ bands?

Nice to know you judge bands on their hair. Thats a good idea. Maybe I should fill my record collection from now on with bands that have fantastic hair.

yep.The good ones
I thought he was pretty easy on Augustinko, considering what they deserve.

I'll judge a band on stupid hair.

So besides their stupid hair what the hell is wrong with Augustino and Stoods? Come on, give me some decent recents, not just that they sound like the Exponents or the Feelers.

a souless performances
b in your words,not reinventing the wheel
(what the hell is the point then)
c obsessed with this obscene funding game

// c obsessed with this obscene funding game
in what way is that hollis?

I think they do pretty damn good for a band who hasn't even been together for a year.

Who do you think IS reinventing the wheel then? All music is based on another form to some extent. There is nothing wrong with influences or following a particular style. Their vocals are beautiful but yeah they're just a new band. Give them a break.

The last thing people need is to be told a band is shit through an article so that people can't go along and figure it out for themselves.

Yeah I don't like quite a few New Zealand bands, but at least I haven't let reviews draw conclusions for me like the SHEEP you refer to hollis, and made up my own mind AFTER seeing them live. Because you're obviously just a mate of this reviewer guy or something and think whatever he says must be true.

Yeah I know him
I totally dig his record collection
a man of taste.

Maybe, but he reviews like arse.

To show I don't completely disagree, however, Stoods have nice little melodies and pop songs, but

what is with their lyrics?

"i paint a portait of a one night stand"?????????

listened to the wordsof a feelers song recently?

its all the same......

The Feelers are shite.

martha my dear, at last we are in agreement

omg for once!

The Feelers are the arse end of NZ Music. I still don't think Stoods are HUGELY like them, but hey early Augustino is kinda Feelersish. Least they've moved on.

STOODS were the winners of the Lion Red Raw battle of the Bands NZ final,I was there,I saw,and I think from the hundreds of bands that entered obviously the band with the pop/rock fold is gonna get some stick from the other genres but once again its about the folding stuff and whether u guys think they are too much like the feelers or not original enough I think you will see their name around alot more in the future.So change the channel hollis and winge about summin else mate!

The feelers were also winners of a South Island battle of the bands back in the 90s and I have no doubt that we will see more of the likes of the stoods because people really don't ask much from the music they listen to.
'folding stuff'? fuck off.

Touched a nerve there Hollis,maybe u misunderstood.My point was that what I saw at the final wasn't nessesarily what I might buy myself but something I knew would impress with regards to thier commercial viability.Hey I was right cause they won.So fuck you too.Music isnt about the folding stuff but the industry almost always will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And by the way the feelers won the Dunedin botb there is no sth island botb in fact I beleive it should be called the Auckland botb's anyway

me thinks Hollis and Duncan are de same person....................
(burp)

Sean, you are wrong

I just found out that on Thursday night at the Kings Arms Stoods are playing - their music video will be played as well!

Apparently all pubs have to shut at midnight, so if you're going to go (I can't I've got to look after the kids) make it an early one.

oh my lord... but why does everything have to be on the same night...

What else is on?

Goodshirt at The Classic..

and a charity gig at the Thirsty Whale.

Good bands at Papa Jacks I just found out as well... Leilani, Jester and Dirt Theory. Kind of more mellow than your standard PJs Thursday night but yeah... we're spoiled for choice for once. And all on a night where pubs must shut at midnight.

oh man!!!! What am I going to do now.. I miss Jester!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

well here's one solution.... Jester and Stoods together at the Kings Arms on the 4th of April...

mmm....Jester...I'm there!
